Stephen Starr's stylish addition to Rittenhouse Square pays tribute to French cafe culture, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week, ideal for a quick bite or a leisurely meal. Parc recalls the chic brasseries of Paris, serving classic French fare in a charming space. Red leather banquettes topped with frosted glass provide a sense of intimacy. Details such as well-worn wooden chairs, vintage framed paintings and photos and antique brass fixtures transport guests across the Atlantic. French doors spill onto a sidewalk terrace covered by a dark red awning perfect for dining "en plein air."

    Our server Brandon made our experience exceptional. He provided us with food and drink recommendations and did not steer us wrong. Two of us at our table immensely enjoyed the Romarin specialty cocktail. Four of us shared three hors d’ouevres - the charcuterie, the mushroom tart and the crispy artichokes along with the beet salad. The serving sizes of each were perfect for the 4 of us to share. Our water glasses were continually refilled and the service was excellent. Two at our table had the Saturday special - poultry feuillete - an elevated chicken pot pie with mushrooms and black truffle oil. I sampled the special and the sauce was superb! I ordered the Moules Frites and another had the veal escalope. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food, the atmosphere and didn’t feel rushed. The interior of the restaurant was decorated for the holidays and it was a warm, welcoming environment. We completed our meal by sharing the moelleux au chocolat - a warm chocolate cake with hazelnuts and praline sorbet…delicious! I would highly recommend this restaurant for the quality of the food and the inviting atmosphere.

    We have been to Parc many times over the years and it is one of our favorite restaurants in Philadelphia because the food is consistent and the service is great. But this time, we were really disappointed in the service and felt it did not match the level of the excellent food and ambience. Our server did not greet us for about 15 minutes, and when he did eventually come over to our table, he said only “you ready to order?” He hardly said two words to us the rest of our time in the restaurant. When I tried to ask a single question about the day’s special, he sighed in annoyance. This experience is hardly a deal breaker for me — I will be back to Parc and excited to go. But I am disappointed that this time, the service didn’t match the rest of the experience.

    Delicious lunch of Nicoise Salad, chicken liver parfait , mushroom soup, and profiteroles. Lunch delicious as usual. Service very good. Bar seats full at 2pm, reservations recommended. Take out order of cheeseburger was missing the caramelized onions. Tomato and lettuce are not automatically included on burger and must be requested if desired.

    Overall the experience was good. Since we walked in without a reservation we were told we had to wait for an open table but there were 10+ empty tables in plain sight, so I quickly logged in and made a reservation. We were then seated fairly quickly. The food was very good, the service was great. Price wise it was…ok; $100 for soup, an appetizer, an omelette and two alcoholic beverages.
