We will be in Paris in late August, staying in a hotel in the area of the Louvre. Can anyone recommend some places to eat that are wonderful?

Le Grand Colbert. A typical (and expensive) brasserie. Oysters are outstanding. But, the neat thing is this is the restaurant in the film "Somthing's Gotta Give". My wife loves the movie, so we sat in the Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton, Keanu Reeves booth. The food was great and the wait-staff first rate. It is touristy (because of the movie), but, what the heck, it was fun, And near where you are staying.

If you want something different and cheap, Rue Sainte Anne is full of Asian eateries, most of them being authentic and sticking to one kind of cusiene as opposed to the "Chinese/Japanese/Thai" combo fast food joints that you typically find in Western Europe. Most of the restaurants on that street are Japanese but there are a few Chinese and Korean. Not TOO far away from that area up towards the Opera Garnier is Les Pates Vivantes, a wonderful Chinese place that specializes in hand-made noodles.
