    From the moment we were greeted by the hostess til time she was telling us to have a good night on our way out, our entire experience was truly on point! The food was spot on, we had roasted mushrooms and cauliflower for an appetizer, the duck and prime rib for our entree… all of it was as good as we’ve ever had it. The service was attentive, fast, friendly, and it seemed like we didn’t have to ask for much, he was just prepared and had enough foresight to ensure we were taken care of. Overall, an excellent experience! I cannot offer a criticism which is rare. We will definitely return.

    Excellent service & fabulous food! Had a beautiful table/space for our group & just had a great time. Superb dining experience! They occasionally have music & they had a singer which was fun (but maybe a tad bit loud for our family’s dining experience…might suggest more of a background holiday music at this time of year & bring back the fun, classic old school singer in the New Year! ) but just my table’s thoughts. Singer was very friendly and nice! Just needs to add some holiday tunes at Christmas! Overall, Parc is an excellent restaurant & I highly recommend it!
