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."

    What a memorable brunch with parents from out of town. Our server was terrific - attentive but never hovering, every need anticipated. Celebrated a birthday and enjoyed pastries, quiche, trout, fresh juice and coffee plus champagne and a shared desert. Food was perfection as always and decor festive and cozy. Parc is outstanding and delivers year after year.

    Our server was spot on, friendly, funny and helpful. We love the onion soup and the day after Thanksgiving is a tradition for us. Great spot, wonderful food.

    I like the location. It has a Paris type vibe. There are lots of tables inside. Everyone was very friendly and polite. My waiter was fine. That being said, he did not ask why it was that. I did not finish my meal. I was feeling out of sorts so it wasn’t worth it to get into it as I just wanted to leave. I did not take her to go bag. I took one bite.

    The entrees were tasty as always. However, we had to wait an exceptionally long time for them to come out. Management did comp our entrees to their credit. Our server commented several times that our food should have already been brought out to us long ago. Also, when we got up to leave the busing staff nearly ran to our table to clean it. Everyone in our party hadn’t even gotten up from the table before it was completely cleaned off and wiped down. Pardon the pun, but that left a very bitter taste in my mouth. I felt like I had been very patient through our dining issues and in return, it felt like I was being rushed out of the door. As I said earlier, food is always great but not sure if I’ll be making any return visits after tonight.

    Our food was all excellent. We ordered the warm shrimp salad, the salmon tart one and the roast beef sandwich. My only complaint is that our table was right next to a wait station. We were constantly interrupted with loud clanking of dishes and people getting silverware, etc. I honestly feel there should not be tables that close to the station, or you should be asked if you are ok with sitting there. If we go here again we will definitely ask not to be seated there, it definitely changed the experience

    Food was, as always, outstanding. Example - I ordered avocado toast with two poached eggs. The eggs were cooked perfectly! Not stringy. Not overdone. They were perfect. That’s the way things are with all the food that is served there. My only complaint is that the dining room was noisy. Part of. This was because of music that was too loud. Why play music when people go there to talk to one another? We are from the West Coast and always return to Parc for brunch. Just delicious food
