L'Initial Paris Reviews from The Last Year
Excellent !
An unbeatable value for money ! The food is truly excellent and the service flawless. I recommend the mets_vins association because the choices are really relevant and high quality.
Excellent food and service
Every course was fresh, delicious and presented well. Chose the wine pairings and every glass of wine was excellent. Servers were attentive and pleasant. Price was fair for the level of food. Menu was set except for the meat course where you had three choices. Other courses were seafood so may be a problem for those who do not like it.
B.F.
We have been coming as neighbors since the opening of the restaurant Every time the magic happens and it’s a delight Don’t miss the sweetbreads! but everything is delicious And above all every time
Disappointed
The excellent reviews published made us want to try this place ourselves. We were unfortunately disappointed with our evening. The very refined setting makes the room noisy (we were next to a group of extroverted Anglo-Saxons who spoiled the evening a little). The tasting menu was based on good products but prepared without any originality (no mixing of flavors, lack of contrasts). The waiting time between dishes was (too) long, although the two servers were pleasant. The wine list was also very classic and did not show much research towards lesser known wines that we like to discover in this type of restaurant. In short, value for money (nearly €300 for two) totally unsuitable in our opinion.
An unforgettable moment
A moment of rare purity, an astonishing discovery, everything was delicious with a very high level of customer service An unforgettable moment to delight all our senses 🙏
the best value for money in Paris
unbeatable value for money!! more than charming and attentive staff and delicious cuisine with very subtle flavors and mixtures and beautiful plates. A real gastro!!
Fourth time... from today it's uphill
Fourth time, fourth experience. Dinner, as a couple, usual setting, special service with proportionate assistance. There is no à la carte menu. However, a single menu at €68 + wine and coffee, choice of main course (too sophisticated and limited, in the sense that if you can't tolerate any of the 4 choices you skip the course). Wine priced four times higher than the real cost on the market. Minimalist portions, still good quality. The chef is there, let's be clear! Spending per capita: €110. A little expensive for Italian budgets (in Italy you eat very well, drink very well and leave satisfied for the same expense). Uphill road, I won't put the… fifth gear. And there is no star.
Very exiting food
Modern and nicely decorated restaurant in a VERY quiet side street between the river and Bd. Saint-Germain. I have earlier visited Parisian restaurants that serve French food with a Japanese "touch", and it has certainly not always been with equal success, the food has often been more weird than good, but on L’Initial they were not even close to cross the thin, red line: Food was both tasty and looking extremely appetizing. We had their 6-course dinner menu, but when saying that my wife is allergic to shellfish (2 courses), they simply freestyled and served something else instead without complaining - way to go! Staff and service is top level: Professional, friendly and very attentive, you don't have to fill your water glasses yourself and there is always fresh bread on the table. If the restaurant continues in this way, I’m sure they will very soon be awarded with a well-deserved Michelin star. My warmest recommendation!
Perfect
A perfect experience for a family birthday! We highly recommend the place. Excellent value for money, the finest cuisine, very warm and attentive service! Unforgettable !
Well Done!
My husband and I really enjoyed our dinner here. The restaurant itself has a very warm decor with all the wood, even though it has a minimalist vibe. The tables are miles apart by Paris standards and the music is understated yet adds to dining experience. We thought we would probably just get a bottle of wine (instead of the pairings) but we quickly determined that the pairings were a better value for us. Each course had a thoughtfully chosen wine, just the right pour. The smoked oyster course had an absolutely perfect wine to go with it. All were successful, but that really shined. The dishes were imaginative and well presented, but most importantly, delicious! Sometimes at a Michelin starred restaurant the presentation, execution and service are made more important than the taste of the food. Not the case here. Service was warm, friendly and professional.

Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

Banned from Resy for selling reservations- Do we have a rat on our hands???
I am new to this app and started off by selling a polo bar reservation and then quickly sold one more reservation. Not long after I received emails from Resy saying all my reservations are cancelled and I am being banned from Resy for life. How could this have possibly happened without a rat telling Resy that I sold the reservation. I need some advice on this situation and let’s catch the rat!

I have a big ongoing and it also shows someone is working on my bid. Today I see there is a " Buy Instantly " option at my portfolio showing same price I've bid for a reservation. I'm a bit confused, since my money has already been deducted from my credit card for the bid, do I need to pay one more time for the Buy Instantly? If I choose Buy Instantly, can I cancel my bid ( while someone is working on it )? Thanks!

You can only deposit $50 at a time until you earn the “Sales and Low Refund Medal” I believe. Im new to this as well but the ability to deposit more money at once and increase your amount of listings comes with that medal.

Anyone know how increase payout transfer to bank as I can only send $50 a day and they charge $5 for every transaction. There must be a way. I’ve contacted support two days ago and not a reply.
