Frommer's Review
L'Ami Louis is in one of central Paris's least fashionable neighborhoods, far removed from the part of the Marais that has become chic, and its facade has seen better days. It was one of Paris's most famous brasseries in the 1930s, thanks to its excellent food served in copious portions and its old-fashioned decor. Its traditions, even the hostile waiters, are fervently maintained today, and Bill Clinton loves it. Amid a "brown gravy" decor (the walls retain a smoky patina), dishes such as game in season, grilled veal kidneys, milk-fed lamb, confit of duckling, and slices of foie gras are served on marble-topped tables. The whole roasted chicken is served with a mountain of french fries. Though some say the ingredients aren't as good as in the restaurant's heyday, the sauces are as thick as they were between the wars.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
