    We had Thanksgiving reservations at 5:30pm as we frequent Melt for their family-style dinner at Easter and Thankgiving. The restaurant was full yet we were seated promptly. The service from hosts to bussing people was very good. Our waiter provided outstanding service. He was friendly and visited our table often. The food was just a notch below last years's fare. The reason, too much salt especially the turkey and ham both with gravy which should have been on the side. On the flip side, the stuffing with sausage was the best I ever had. The delicious spagetti and meatballs was a nice touch especially for kids. The desserts were good so save room.

    We were greeted, seated and then treated to a lovely dining experience. We started with a couple of the specialty cocktails-Romarin and Nouveau Basilic: their pour was generous as our drinks lasted through our meals. A bonus of a basket of bread was brought to our table, such a rarity! Baguette, sourdough and what seamed a seasonal bread with cranberry and walnuts with beurre---seemed such a treat! Our waiter was attentive and made well informed dinner suggestions after asking us our preferences and we enjoyed the beef bourguignon; duck a l'orange and roasted chicken. Parc has made our top 10 list of places to eat while in Philly!

    Dining experience was excellent. Justin was as attentive and knowledgeable . I had the veal chop which was expertly presented over squash hash, pre sliced off the bone. The bone in filet was delicious and melt in you mouth. Next time I will order a sauce. Scallops app is a go too. Desserts are house made and enough for 4 to share.
