Everything was wonderful! The view of the city & fountain by the windows was beautiful and the food was amazing. Our server Dorian was integral to facilitating one of the best dinners I’ve had on the day of mine & my partners’ anniversary, with a wonderful dessert brought out to celebrate. What a memorable occasion, thank you Dorian!

A Gem in the Center of downtown Detroit with service (Jordan) and food to match! A BIG SHOUT OUT to the Manager who made sure my birthday went perfectly? Many visits, and the food across the board has never disappointed. Will revisit…AFTER THE NFL DRAFT.

I would suggest looking at the lowest reviews first before attending this restaurant.After a long day at work, I crossed the border during rush hour traffic, and struggled to find parking in downtown Detroit; with many roads blocked off in preparation for the NFL Draft. I wanted to unwind and decided to check out Parc for their happy hour. Upon entering, I double checked the time for happy hour with two hostess’s.I sat at the bar, and the bartender, Soonie; who later alleged was the bar manager, told me I could get a cocktail, but the kitchen stopped taking happy hour orders at 5:30. I then asked to speak with the manager and he told me he was the bar manager, and the kitchen manager was basically not going to allow it. Stating that “he already hates the happy hour menu”. I chuckled with him, however, that seems like an internal, business problem to me. He walked away and I decided to call the restaurant to clarify if he was telling the truth. The hostess confirmed that happy hour was until 6:00 PM and that patrons could order food until that time. This alleged bar manager came back to ask if I was ready to order, and I informed him that I phoned the restaurant and confirmed that food can be ordered off the happy hour menu until 6:00 PM so I was going to try the mini burgers. He said just a moment as he wanted to see about this. He came back a few moments later, saying that they would honour what I was told. He then proceeded to undermine his colleague by saying something along the lines of the hostess not knowing.His attitude was trash. Are you gatekeeping $12 mini burgers? Is the restaurant so slow that you want to force people to order off the regular menu? lol. I came for HAPPY HOUR; not dinner. The lack of leadership at this establishment is apparent. Could this be a case of discrimination? Who can really say. Maybe humbling yourself with a sincere apology could have rectified the situation in that moment.Shout out to David who was also at the bar and engaged in light conversation with me, making things a bit more enjoyable.Oh, there’s also a 20% automatic gratuity, so you better assess the character of your server quick and determine if you want to give that to the business.

Wow! The service was white glove as we felt attended to, but not frequently interrupted. Our waitress was really more of a hostess or an ambassador as she calmly gave us the low down on what we needed to know.The food took a few minutes to come out, but it was exceptional! The short ribs definitely surpassed my expectations, and my dinner companions felt the same about their orders.While the decor is sophisticated and very tasteful, I was disappointed at how loud it was. We frequently had to yell at one another across the table to have a conversation. Perhaps it was more the large birthday table we were sat next to, but it would not deter me from returning.

My party and I had a bill of almost $900 and we were utterly disappointed. Everything that we ordered took extremely long including our drinks. We received rushed services and the food wasn’t satisfying. There were 7 of us and no one said they enjoyed their meals. Then the most upsetting part of the night was as we were in the process of paying the bill, the staff turned the lights off on us several times. I will never service this restaurant again or anyone else that attended with me tonight. I will definitely inform others of the treatment that we received.
Absolutely loved everything about Parc ! In between the atmosphere , food and our server Nadiyah. Honestly I think the good service is enough for a five star review the food was the cherry on top. Nadiyah was so knowledgeable about the specials and drinks me and my bf were blown away. We 10/10 recommend Parc! We ordered the Poulet au vin and the Scottish salmon and the gnocchi gratin. All were amazing !! We will definetly be back in the summer!Dietary restrictions: We had a nut allergy and our server Nadyah was so accommodating!! 10/10 service

Nice venue with very slow but friendly service (some of the wait staff reeked of marijuana).After 45 minutes of sitting down, our order was finally taken. The waitress made a few mistakes (like telling us the avocado toast came with poached eggs when it didn't, but gave us complimentary poached eggs which was nice). The food was incredibly overpriced, overall okay but bland. The burrata appetizer was a disaster and did not taste like anything that should be that expensive. They just like to set it on fire tableside for dramatic effect but no good reason. The kale Caesar salad did not have any kale in it, which was an amazing discovery. Overall, it is a nice venue but I don't see myself ever returning.

The food and service is good. However, it was very off putting that every bill, no matter how small is mandatory 20% gratuity. I typically do tip 20% however if the bill is very high +$500 I may tip a little less since I equate it to an hourly rate. When ordering just drinks I tip $1 per beer and $2 per mixed drink. But at Parc you maybe forced to tip $3-5 per mixed drink because of their forced 20%. I would not recommend this place solely because of this pricing model.
It's been a shile since I have been to Parc, but everything was wonderful. The view, the food and service were on point.

I took my family of four out last night to celebrate some recent good fortune. I ordered the Cowboy Ribeye medium rare. My steak came and it was what I would term Pittsburgh style, nicely crisp on the outside but utterly raw on the inside. I don’t like to send things back but at 117 bucks I had to. It came back more done but it was terrible. Very chewy and not very tasty. I was pretty disappointed. However the worst was yet to come. When I called for my check, the waitress had automatically put a 20% tip on my check! I can see if we were a party of six or more to automatically add this but for a family of four? I normally tip slightly more for outstanding service but to simply add it without notice, I thought it was pretty inappropriate. All in all, for a tab that was north of $700 before tip, it was a pretty disappointing dinner. I am not sure if I will go back.

Went for Easter Brunch and was not impressed. Ambience was very nice with a beautiful view of campus martius. Tried the charred burrata which was decent but nothing worthy of your money ($22). The Salmon Benedict would have been much better with a traditional poached egg. Instead it was served with an egg which had a hard boiled center which made the dish disappointing. The cinnamon rolls lacked much frosting which made them lackluster at best. In short, there are too many other great choices for eating downtown to waste time here.
