FOOD 5/5 Oysters Rockefeller ($10/2 @happy hour) Spinach, Butter, Cream, Lemon Juice, Breadcrumbs - delicious, small, pricy 3.5/5 PRIME RIB ($49/10 oz) At this price tag, cutting the prime rib to 1/2" thickness is a crime as the tenderness, fat marbling, and juiciness suffered. The edges were seasoned well, although the crispy cap was sparse. Au Jus: provides meat juice, but it does not replace for what should be a juicy/fat-marbled, tender prime rib Horseradish: saves the dish - it's lemon forward, pungent, and has a cold, creamy, thick texture. Mashed potato: watered down Veggies: scant, overcooked except the carrot PARKING There are plenty of compact spaces with two ADA spaces entrance adjacent.

Every time I come it is consistently delicious and I am very happy to hear that it they are opening a second location very close to my family's house in Rancho Santa Fe so now North County will be covered as well. Inside is very large and designed beautifully and is the sort of place you want to stay a while or take a date that you care about. It's a bit upscale, but the pricing is not too much. I would say business casual, but it really is a great date option. Our server was extremely polite and as always everything that we ordered came out very fast. Parking in Banker's Hill is extremely easy. We were able to find a street spot two blocks away and that's usually the case when I come here. For this visit, I started off with the Wagyu Beef Tartare and absolutely loved it. It had great flavor and everything about it was just wonderful. For my entrée I chose the Boeuf Bourguignon and that too was delicious. It had some really deep rich flavors and every part of it was just made very well. I was a huge fan of it and would highly recommend. Overall, I really love this place and would suggest to anyone in San Diego or visiting.

The timing of the food was very disappointing. I am usually understanding when there is a reasonable wait, but waiting around 45 minutes for the Steak Schnitzel Sandwich felt excessive. What made it more frustrating was seeing guests who sat down nearly 20 minutes after us receive their food before we did. When the food finally arrived, it was disappointing. The Steak Schnitzel Sandwich was far too salty, the fries were underwhelming, and for a sandwich priced over $25, I expected the overall plate to be much better. The soup was also cold and packaged poorly, which added to the overall disappointment. We wish Parc the best, but based on this experience, this is not somewhere we plan on returning.

The server confirmed with the kitchen that they use oil, so I went with the pan bagnat which comes with fries. AMAZING FOOD Crusty, chewy sourdough with a briny tapenade, thin slices of hard boiled egg, crisp lettuce and tomato tossed in a tart dressing, and high quality oil-packed tuna. Everything worked together so harmoniously, it's no wonder this is a French classic. The fries were perfectly crispy and pillowy without any greasiness. The portion was HUGE for the price. The ambiance is relaxed with chill music. The dining room is small but not cramped in any way. The server, Angelica, was patient and attentive, and answered all of my questions. Great food, great experience

We asked for the plates to be split in the back and they did. So nice. Made it so much easier. Thank you. The tuna tartar for the app always also outstanding. Always. Delight.

Ordering promptly at 5pm, our dinner arrived promptly and hot. I wanted to make sure we tried it all, so without further ado: The Poached Pear salad was delightfully refreshing, with the pistachio pesto adding so much pizazz. We also ordered the cheese plate because Humboldt Fog was on the menu, a fast favorite. Steak Frites were cooked to perfect medium rare, and the Duroc Pork Chop literally melted in our mouths, with the red pepper really standing out on the dish. Even the market veggies were perfectly seasoned and duck fat truffle fries were loved by Dad. After a life changing event, this meal was like a welcome hug home for our family and it really set us up for a nice evening. For being takeout, it was def 5-stars and I see why this is a beloved gem in the heart of North Park.

They were doing the Tuesday night date special, which includes one appetizer & entree each and a dessert & bottle of wine to share for $55/pp as of March 2026. I'm not familiar with the names of French dishes, so I'll write descriptions of the food instead. Appetizers: * mushroom ravioli * phyllo filled with cheese & salad Entrees: * braised short rib * stuffed chicken Dessert: * Cookie My favorite thing was actually the phyllo filled with cheese! It was really unique, and a good combination of savory/sweet, and the salad was a refreshing addition. I would honestly consider ordering a full portion of this to have as a meal. My husband loved his braised short ribs. It was so tender. The ambiance is lovely-- I dressed up a bit more than I normally would, and I didn't feel particularly overdressed or anything, but other people showed up in casual clothing too. Every detail of dinner was well thought out and service was amazing. We didn't feel rushed at all, so we were able to enjoy a slow-paced anniversary dinner. We would definitely come back to try their normal menu too!

It was also my husband's birthday so I really wanted it to be special! We got seated as soon as we arrived in a booth! We immediately were greeted by Nancy who by the way was amazing at that time! The food were amazing and delicious we started with Soup à l'oignon which was great then the raviolis aux champignons which was also amazing but we wished that it would be much more warmer... We then followed by steak frites aux poivre, we asked it medium rare not cut and sauce on the side and it was perfect it comes with brocolis and green beans in the side with french fries and ask for ketchup and aïoli which was yummy as well! We wanted to make it a french dinner so we also ordered a chessboard after the main course! We were so glad that we ordered one entrée as we could have not made it to the dessert if we were to do the cheeseboard and dessert as well! After the cheeseboard we ordered the profiteroles for dessert and a Cappuccino! The dinner birthday was a success I do recommend it for people that are looking for an authentic french restaurant! Cons were the ambiance it was a little bit loud and also they weren't giving any complimentary birthday dessert also, the bread at the beginning were delicious but if you want a refill they will charge you for it. We brought a bottle of red wine which was free corkage since we also ordered a bottle of white from their menu. But the corkage fee would be $45! Overall we had a wonderful time! And I highly recommend it for the food!

For our appetizers we had the gougere, truffle Brie and duck mousse (I don't remember the actual names lol). Everything was so delicious. The truffle Brie was my favorite. For our entrees we had the venison and salmon. The venison had a really bold flavor and everything went really well together while the salmon was more mild and delicate. Both tasted great nonetheless. For dessert we had the floating island and the special which was a Mille feuille. The desserts were not too sweet which was great. I really enjoyed the floating island. We had a couple of cocktails and a mocktail which were all pretty good but the Persephone was my favorite. The service was fantastic and most importantly -- parking was surprisingly easy for a Saturday night. Unfortunately, they don't have steak tartar on Saturdays so I have to come back to try it!

We ordered the house salad to start. It was well dressed and enough to share but too sweet for my taste. The meal came with plenty of decent bread and mayonnaise.

When clubs in the Gaslamp started hosting beer festivals, that is when I knew it was all going downhill... All of that being said, I had pretty much given up on attending beer festivals. That is, until I saw the notice for the Stone Belgian Fest on the company's website. Only $50 for 15 generous pours of some extremely rare Belgian style beers - yes please! Because it was the first year of the festival, they limited the number of attendees. This meant that the lines were short, and you could almost always find a spot to sit - a rare treat for a festival in San Diego. The festival was held outside, in the garden area, which was a lovely ambiance for enjoying some of Belgium's best. I can't speak to the line-up for next year's festival, but if it is anything like this year's, I highly recommend you buy a ticket.

I have less exposure to Belgian style beers and that is where this festival really filled a void in my beer knowledge. They featured almost every style of Belgian beer including: Dubbels, Tripels, Quadruples, Gueuezes, Lambics, Flanders, etc. The event cost $50 and you received 15 tasters ranging from 2-3 oz pours depending on rarity. When you add it all up, it is the only affordable way to try some of these super rare beers, otherwise you would be trying to hunt down some of these bottles that sell for $60+ here in the States. Highlights for me were the Vigneronne by Cantillon, Hommage by 3 Fonteinen and really anything from Cascade brewery. Lines were manageable and the vibe was laid back, which allowed for everyone to focus on the beer instead of jumping into the next line as soon as you receive your pour. Food was not included, but they offered limited food options through the restaurant. I skipped it as it looked a bit pricey for what you got.
