Has anyone been recently? I read a review from last year on the Artful Diner and searched the archives here. Can't find anything recent. It seems that they had some service/food issues and I'm curious whether things have improved. We are planning dinner out next weekend with friends and was thinking of Papillon. Thanks! |

Decent food but WAY overpriced for what you're getting. I'd recommend Arugala Care in SO or Celebrated Foods in Maplewood over Papillon any day. |

Are you sure about Celebrated? I just ate there a couple of weeks ago. Just tried calling them and their answering machine picks up so they sound like they're still in business. |

According to Chris, they've sold it to a n Italian Place that hopes to open by the end of the month. Meanwhile I am stuck with a $75 gift certificate that was purchased a week before they closed. Called to get my money back, but so far, no dice. How could they sell a gift certificate so soon before they closed???????Boy do I feel ripped off. |

Another vote for Cafe Arugula over Papillon -- more consistently good food and service, but no liquor license. |

Went to Celebrated Foods two weekends ago with a friend from Boston--raved to him about the food. It was all dark on a Saturday night, the patio in disarray, the inside looking like it was being demolished for new buildout. No sign on the door, nothing. How disappointing. How sad. |

LL--It seems amazing that they would be so crass as to do that to you. After experiencing their hospitality for the last 7 years or so, I am even more disappointed that they would do that to you. |

Yes, there is a new Italian place opening up where Celebrated was, I heard they were aiming for February 1st! I heard that Chris was still operating their catering business, but out of what kitchen? I'm so confused. Did they leave a note on their door saying that they closed? |

I am just devasted. Celebrated is one of our favorite restaraunts. There isn't a need for another Italian place, Maplewood is already full of fantastic choices!! |

Library Lady - why don't you call and see if they will honor the gift certificate for catering? |

Cause for 75 bucks for catering I'd get 2 sandwiches. I don't want Italian either. I want my money back!!!! It was a week or so and they had to know that they were closing!!!!! |

Papillon has good martinis, good food. Prices may be a bit higher than other places around, but when I can walk from my home to Papillon and back and not bother with the car, why would I tackle traffic to go somewhere else? |
