    We never have a bad meal at Parc. We met friends for an early (11:30 a.m.) lunch. As lunch proceeded, the place got louder, but never to the point that we had to yell to hear each other. Much appreciated, as some restaurants are now so loud it is painful to hold a conversation. Mushroom soup was delicious, especially with the bread basket. I teamed it with the ravioli appetizer, and it was a perfect amount of food. Others in the group had the roast beef sandwich, which they said was very good, Another member of our group had the salmon sandwich, which, again, was very good. We didn't have room for desserts. Our waiter was attentive, answering all our questions and suggesting items to try. The front desk staff was welcoming when we arrived, and wished us well when we left. So much hospitality!

    I came for restaurant week, because it's a good way to try out new places. Their take on schnitzel is one of the coolest things I've had in a while. The beef tartare was also really interesting and not like any I've had before. I was under the weather so they let me take the dessert to go, which was nice. The ambience in there is also lovely. This place is like a 10 minute walk from me so I'll be back.
