    Food and service was outstanding. The must have dishes are the pork belly and venison tare tare appetizers, the oxtail gnocchi and Secreto entrees, and the date cake for dessert. The H&W Negron was also a stand out.

    C* is our go-to for any special occasion. They make the best steaks of all of San Diego - possibly of all of Southern California! This time around we were celebrating a birthday. C* service is always impeccable - everyone from the host to the waitstaff asked whose birthday it was and wished our birthday guest a happy birthday which was a sweet touch. We got the French Onion Soup to start, the best made anywhere. Also got the 40oz Porterhouse for 2 which was AMAZING - perfect amount for 2 people. Mac & Cheese side, which was a hit and the bacon was a delicious topping. Sticky Toffee Cake for dessert - also very unique and tasty. Can’t go wrong with their cocktail menu either! Our favorites include the C* Old Fashioned, Smoking Gun, and Oaxaca Old Fashioned. We’ll be back soon enough to try out some of the dessert liquors as well!

    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!

    One of my favorite places in San Diego that remains at the top Of its game after many years. The wine marketplace has great selections as does the wine menu. Food is exquisite- from the squash blossom appetizer, beet, persimmon and burrata salad to our entrees- wild mushroom ravioli and whole branzino. Service is impeccable. It can get a bit noisy but love the vibe
