Our lunch was the perfect place to celebrate our daughter’s special birthday! We had a round table for 5 (original nuclear family) and it was very special to be together in our favorite restaurant. Parc never disappoints!

It was my husband’s birthday dinner but I felt like the birthday girl, hahah. The kind waitress completed my jacket and outfit more than once and was super attentive while not being too much either. The food was fantastic as always but I will say the crab dip was unevenly heated. We didn’t mention it because everything else was perfect and didn’t want to be a hassle. We love it here. Such a great experience every time.

Will miss this restaurant in Philly location. Seafood is always on point. Missed the snapper soup that used to be on the menu. The bar was under stocked ostensibly because of impending closure. But bartender was able to mix up nice cocktails. Tuna and Sea Bass were top notch
