Pleasant dining experience. Good food and great service.
Café de Amis in Parkville, MO, offers a culinary experience that's both elegant and inviting. Starting with the bone marrow salad, each bite was a symphony of flavors, perfectly balanced and exquisitely presented. The rack of lamb was cooked to perfection, tender and succulent, while the quail dish showcased the chef's skillful artistry. The ambiance added to the charm, creating a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. A definite gem for those seeking exceptional dining in Parkville.

The little French bistro is located at the top of wooden stairs on a corner with goof signage. It's quaint and lovely. The waitstaff is attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the food and drinks, quick with good recommendations. The food and drinks were perfectly delicious and visually appealing. We received our check with a pleasant surprise, two delicious mini macrons, perfectly al dente. The only negative I can offer is the number of tables in the small room which made conversation difficult, distracting and loud instead of cozy. Perhaps some sound deafening decor would help.

We stopped in for a little nosh while out shopping and the food did not disappoint. The service was not great, but thankfully we enjoyed our food. The wine list was very impressive, but I did not order anything.
Amazing French cuisine! The service was second to none!

Three of us arrived for lunch at 1 pm. The first thing the waiter said was that we should be sure to make our complete order all at once because the kitchen would be closing soon. Only when we tried to order did he say they were out of salmon. Two of us had wanted salmon. We decided to share the Salade Niçoise. I noticed the salmon wasn’t fully cooked. I asked if the salmon was sushi grade. The waiter said that’s how they prepare it- pink in the middle. Well, salmon is pink. I make it myself often. This was undercooked. We both asked for the fish to be more fully cooked. When the two portions came back to the table, I couldn’t tell if I received the same piece back, as it was in pieces and my portion had been one piece. I didn’t want to eat it. I ended up sharing the quiche my friend ordered as it was in two pieces. When we were ready to pay I asked if the restaurant was also out of green beans as there were none on the salad as they were supposed to be. The waiter came back and said the beans were cut up and on the salad. Well- two things. I know this salad is served with whole green beans and I know I didn’t see or eat any beans. Nor did my friend see or eat any on his half. At that point the waiter asked if I wanted to see the menu to verify ingredients. I felt insulted and chagrined that he doubled down to prove to me that I was wrong. I am sorry the restaurant has this waiter. He is not doing them any favors by not apologizing that the meal was less than satisfactory. The bottom line is not to go to this restaurant the day after a holiday - they won’t have the entrees they might need and don’t go at 1 pm when it is an hour from closing.
This was definitely a splurge for my birthday, and on my own "dime"! The food was incredible, including the duck breast with a blackberry sauce, and their sinfully good chocolate soufflé. My friend enjoyed the Barramundi entrée currently on the menu. Of course the atmosphere/ambience is definitely French, upscale, attractive, cozy, and romantic. But no romance is needed to enjoy their delectable and beautifully presented food. The service was very good, and both of our entrées and my soufflé came out much faster than expected. They prefer that you include all menu categories you want when you first order. But if you do decide on the soufflé later, allow an extra 15 minutes. One intriguing appetizer special was a vegetarian pate made with Lion's Mane mushrooms, which, if you've ever seen the amazing movie "Fabulous Fungi," you'll know is supposed to be very good for the brain and cognition! But even without that, I was very cognizant of the prices, which were generally more reasonable than I expected, but definitely not in my daily budget! Your check is accompanied by two very tiny tasty macarons! The restrooms at restaurants are important overall quality and cleanliness indicators to me, and they did not disappoint. The two gender neutral ones are clean, charmingly decorated, and all you have to do is press a button and a new clean plastic cover encircles the toilet seat! All in, I highly recommend this restaurant, especially for a special occasion. Do be prepared to walk up a somewhat steep outside wooden staircase to get in, but it's worth the climb!

People were friendly, the place was modern and clean, food was good However the prices were ridiculous… 4 people over $500.00. We won't return. ☘️✌️
