Best WLM Reviews
Café du Parc offers a dining experience that, on the whole, is quite pleasant, marked by good food, acceptable service, and a nice ambiance.
The food at Café du Parc is the highlight of the experience. Each dish comes out well-prepared, showcasing a blend of flavors that are both comforting and intriguing. The menu, though not extensive, offers enough variety to cater to different tastes and preferences, ensuring that most visitors will find something to enjoy. The ingredients taste fresh, and the presentation of the dishes is thoughtful, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the dining experience.
Service at Café du Parc is adequate, though it lacks the polish and attentiveness that could elevate the dining experience from good to exceptional. The staff is generally friendly and does a decent job of ensuring that diners' needs are met, but there are moments when the service feels somewhat perfunctory. It's not that the service detracts significantly from the overall experience, but rather that it misses opportunities to enhance it.
The ambiance of Café du Parc is undeniably one of its strong suits. The setting is designed to be inviting, with a decor that balances charm and sophistication.
Café du Parc is a solid choice for those looking for good food in a pleasant setting. While the service could use a bit of fine-tuning to match the quality of the cuisine and the ambiance, the overall dining experience is certainly enjoyable. It's a venue that promises a nice meal out, and for the most part, it delivers on that promise.
Would highly recommend going elsewhere. With the exception of the French onion soup, we didn’t like anything with our meal. We got the bread basket and there were 4 pieces of dry bread - 2 of which were the same type. The fries were so crispy they wouldn’t even bend without breaking. The steak was overdone and chewy. The chicken was plain and lacking flavor. Wouldn’t recommend. Didn’t enjoy the service as we had to keep flagging our server down. For over $100, there are many other better options.
Really enjoyed the food, service, and atmosphere here at Café du Parc. Very kid friendly service and good wine selection. Prices are on the high side if you are on a budget. But the high prices do not mean it's pretentious. The staff are friendly, available, and helpful. I would definitely recommend lunch or dinner here.
Honestly, it was well below the expectations for such a high-standard hotel that The Willard used to be.
The hosting lady was arrogant without a hint of friendliness, immediately jumping to conclusions that we should walk down a floor for snacks. When we said we wanted to have a dinner she offered a table in a dark area when they were nearly empty. She clearly had no idea of simple manners or respect, especially when speaking to someone in their 70s. This was an unacceptable reception of guests, particularly on Christmas days! Wow! Everyone else from the staff was friendly and nice, as if they were making up for her…
I wish we had walked away immediately, as we ended up returning one main course of lamb ragu pasta because my husband couldn’t eat it. The waiter apologized, and we were not charged for it, but the Caesar salad was also really bad. The lettuce was on the plate as one huge piece, not cut or mixed, and the dressing was just a cheap supermarket one, which shouldn’t be used in restaurants. I didn’t return it as I didn’t want to make it worse for them.
On a positive note, the cheese plate and the pumpkin soup were good! ????
However , we won’t be back there for that quality overall.
Service was fast and very friendly. Food was a little underwhelming.
I ordered the French onion soup to start. It was very tasty but EXTREMELY hot. By the time my main course came (Muscovy Duck Breast) it was still very, very hot and difficult to eat.
The duck was underwhelming. The actual duck breast wasn't seasoned very well. There was very little sauce which would have been fine had it had a more present flavor to it.
The vegetables were the best part. Absolutely delicious, especially the poached figs.
Finally I ordered the creme brulee. It was good, but it wasn't very "brulee-d" on the top. Overall very soft, without that classic crust. It was more spotty, with uneven texture on top. But the flavor itself was still quite good.
Cafe du Parc Tea Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️3++ Star
Ambiance ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5star in French inspired cafe and cozy niche space to gather casually
Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️- presentation was classy with matching white chip and saucer. Not a complaint but nothing to be excited about. It’s counter service so non one brings it to you. There’s no teapots either.
If you notice the cute glass container of honey, only because I asked afterwards and there was no offer of lemon.
Tea - nice selection of caffeinated teas including my favorite jasmine pearls and Earl Grey. However today I went with their mint tea (had enough caffeine for the day) which was actually quite enjoyable on a cold windy spring day at the park. Perfect early evening lift to keep sight seeing.
1month later - It was the Crème Brûlée I remembered.
- It is the best! I went to a couple of others restaurants in DC just for this dessert and still looking in atlanta. No one has beat it and the rubric every other restaurant gets compared too. Even if the crème is perfect consistency like Cafe du Parc, it’s usually a little too burnt. And few if any give you the portion of fresh berries. It was also a huge portion. So… it’s memorable and don’t take for granted when you get it.
This place seems suitable for a quality breakfast. The French toast is very soft, and the raisins as a topping are very harmonious. The fruit served on the side is fresh. If you love french toast, get it a try!
I think if I come back here, I would definitely just go for the dessert! Crème Brûlée was very delicious, but the burger nothing special. Although I asked for a well done burger, I didn’t expect the bread to be cooked well done too! Half of it was almost burnt. Lastly why they charge 10$ for just water! That was really extra!
