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!
