Dinner in the Eiffel tower?
Discussion
I thought "les ombres" was better as you get to sit & enjoy the view of the tower instead.

We went to 58 Tour Eiffel for dinner 18 months or so ago, absolutely rubbish, 2 hour slot, rushed, rude, over-priced, very average pre-prepped food. We were literally thrown out whilst necking our bottle of wine... not a good experience, for us, at all, far far better restaurants in Paris. My advice would be to have a wander round the neighbourhood where you are staying, find a local bistro that is busy and go there. Failing that, ask the hotel...
Good luck!

Well it seems I'm a lone voice but I had dinner for one at Jules Verne, albeit a few years ago now. Sounds a bit sad and norman no mates but was there for a short business trip.
I really enjoyed it, of course part of the experience is ermmmm the experience but you could not call the quality of the food I enjoyed poor.
Yes you can dine cheaper and better in Paris but your wife will not forget the experience.

Had dinner in the Jules Verne and really enjoyed it, took both my daughters and one of my daughters friends, she absolutely loved it, we were all treated very well, I seem to recall it was a fixed menu which had to be pre paid. Without a doubt you are paying for the experience, private lift up and the view.
I still think my top rated Parisian dinning experience is La Truffiere, the food at Le Cinq was amazing, had lunch there which was exquisite, La Tour d'Argent was also 1st class, both in terms of food and service, if you book a window table, the view of Notre Damn is lovely.

I ate at 58 a couple of years ago and it was fantastic. I'd rung several months in advance, spoken to the Matre'D and asked/explained that I wanted a window seat for two an hour before sunset (they then worked out the time) and a bottle of chilled champagne on the table. They couldn't have been more helpful and we weren't rushed in any way. The food was good/very good. We only had a glass each of red to add to the fizz and iirc we got out for around €200. I'd probably not go again but am happy to recommend based on my experience.
The best vfm/quality we found in Paris was http://www.chezpaul.com/. It's not fine dining but it's honest, busy and definitely on our revisit list.

A year of working two days a week in Paris has killed any love I might have ever felt for the place.
It's dirty, expensive and full of beggars. Parisians are rude beyond belief.
Every Parisian taxi driver seems to think he's Alain Prost, with the arms-straight-out driving technique, even cornering at 120mph in the wet on the Périphérique.
Of course, to suggest to the driver that he ought to 'calm it down a bit' would be to insult his manhood. Just get the seatbelt on and pray.
Many's the time I've sent text messages to my nearest and dearest along the basis of "If I don't see you again, this is why."
