I came here with the hopes that my collegaues and I could catch happy hour on their rooftop bar. But to our disappointment; we were told that the rooftop wasn't open on Tuesdays due to lack of staff. I wished this information was stated on their website so we could planned accordingly. We decided to stay and try it out even though we were not able to order the happy hour menu and be seated on the rooftop. No one greeted us when we walked inside but the customer service did improve later in the evening. Our waitress was great. She gave us recommendations and constantly came by to check on us. The food runners and other staff were equally friendly. I loved the decor and the modern French bistro vibes at Parc de Ville. And the patio area was really cute as well. We sat outside because the weather was beautiful that evening. Drinks-- we ordered Desperado, Chelsea Boot and a few Old Fashioned. Drinks were made well and alcohol ratio was strong. Food-- we ordered the escargot, pate, dozen raw oysters, steak frites, duck confit, creme brule and chocolate mouse cake. The stand outs were the duck confit and pate. The duck was crispy and tender and bursting with flavor. The l'ornage sauce goes so well with it. The pate was light and not overpowering but still very flavorful. Very good with the accompanying toasted bread. Overall, a good experience. I would like to try to come back again for the rooftop experience. read more

I went to Parc de Ville recently with my girl friends for a brunch date. We all have never been to Parc de Ville before. For appetizers, we shared Moules (or mussels) and Cheese Board to enjoy with mimosas. Both dishes were generous enough for the three of us and we were almost full by the time our entrees arrived. For our entrees, we ordered Croque Madame, Crepes, and Omelettes. We were all impressed on how our dishes were presented. Everything was delicious! Our server was extremely helpful and made sure we have everything we need. Too bad I forget her name but she's amazing. I would definitely love to go back to Parc de Ville to try their dinner menu. Highly recommended! read more

I've been wanting to try Parc de Ville for some time now. Dinner wasn't great. Wasn't bad. Just kinda in the middle! First off. The restaurant is very pretty inside. I like the decor! Feels like a modern French Bistro. Good thing it wasn't a super hot day because their AC was out when we were there. Our waiter was sweating bullets. We ordered the short rib boeuf bourguignon and steak frites. The short rib was nicely cooked but had a strange flavor I couldn't place. Like an odd herb they used. The mashed potatoes were yummy. They need to work on their vegetable sides. I got no mushrooms and way too many onions. The dish could have benefitted from some carrots. My husband's steak was very undercooked. The fries needed salt. But the sauce was tasty! We didn't have dessert. We were all very hot during dinner. Maybe the rooftop would have been nicer? read more

The decor and vibe here takes you right to France, from the tiles to the table and bar gives you the modern French bistro feel. Our server was super friendly, full of personality and was very helpful with menu recommendation. My friend ordered a espresso martini and I got to have a sip of it, and wow very good I was super tempted to get one. I ordered the Steak Frites, which is a pan roasted skirt steak, sauce béarnaise, frites. My steak was cooked perfectly to medrare, béarnaise sauce was right amount of seasoning, creamy and complimented the steak very well. The frites, cut to perfection, cooked to the right crispiness. I also shared the Bucatini Provencal with my friend and I loved that the noodles was al denti. It had pistachio pistou, roasted tomato, basil, and pecorino. I loved that the pasta was dressed full of fresh pistachio, not a heavy sauce where I didn't feel guilty eating it. You can tell all the ingredients used in the pasta were fresh. My other friend ordered the Croque Madame in which I did get to get a bite of it. It's a grilled ham & Gruyère sandwich, friend egg, sauce mornay. Talk about cheesiness--it was so delicious and definitely a sandwich I'd get for brunch. read more

We have eaten at Parc de Ville a few times and it always hit the spot when I want escargot. We've gone for brunch and for dinner. I personally like the dinner menu better. They don't serve the duck confit during brunch and it's one of my fave dishes. The service is always good whenever we eat here. The ambiance definitely reminds me of a cute Parisian restaurant. Oh and the drinks are always made to perfection! read more

Happy hour fries were a little sad - just down the street B-side has beef fat fries that knock these out of the park - so for the price I was underwhelmed. They also came out really quick and a little cold so I do question the freshness? I am also, admittedly, a little biased. I used to live in walking distance of Mon Ami in Reston and I loved their happy hour fries and French 75 so I was looking for a replacement. This just didn't do it for me in the fry department... However, the bartender's Aperol spritz was solid and for the $8, quite unbeatable. Maybe I just didn't pick the right combo here, but I am willing to try again read more

Well priced, good food and well decorated.   My experience at Parc de Ville was very enjoyable. The restaurant was nicely decorated, clean and well-lit while still keeping an intimate feeling. The menu is not large however it is diverse in its offerings. I ordered the "STEAK-FRITES" which I would recommend. The steak was well cooked and the fries were very flavorful.   The service was also good. The hosts were kind and the wait staff were attentive. Everyone that I interacted with from the restaurant was cheerful and friendly.   Overall, I recommend checking out Parc de Ville for a good date night spot or any other dinner occasion. read more

Happy Hour Review: Came here around 5:20 and it was already filling up! Happy Hour is from 4-6pm Tues-Thursday. Friday all day. Either in the bar area (which does have high tops) or on the rooftop (if it's open--idk what the criteria is for it to be open). Parking available in the garages or street. It does get pretty packed (even on a Tuesday). Wanted to go to happy hour with some work friends to destress, and we sat in the bar area. Initially were gonna sit at the bar, but we wanted to see each other's and it was hard with 5 people. They were able to put 2 hightops together for us--which was so nice of them! Bartender was kind as well, gave us last call notices for end of happy hour to allow us to put it some last minute drink and food orders. Food was delicious! Burger was so good-i ate the whole thing!! Frites were seasoned well and sauces were yummy! Overall, had a blast and would love to come back and check out some other menu items. Happy hour menu is small but they have several options for food and drinks. read more

My girlfriend took me out for brunch and I picked this place because it was on the top 50 places to eat in Washingtonian magazine. Overall we had a great time, didn't feel rushed, service was great and the food was good...not mind blowing or exceptional like I was hoping for. Escargot app was more mushroom tasting than anything...I think prefer the traditional in some garlic butter and right out the shell....tasty though if you like mushrooms. We also had the mussels app which was decent, forgot to take a pic. The crusty fresh bread was probably the best part. My croque madam and the smoke salmon was very average. The crème brulee was yummy and maybe the best part of the meal with my latte which was very yummy too. I'm thinking it made the top 50 list because of the combination of ambiance, service, and food....definitely not based on just the food. read more

We were a group of 6 on a Friday night. Atmosphere was lively, menu had plenty of options and food was solid. For French cuisine it's a convenient location, parking and decent price point. *Escargot-not what I expected. A large puffed pastry with escargot in the middle. It was good but soo rich. I could only manage 2 bites. It's a must share... too rich for one person. *Bucatini Provencal- sauce was delicious but would have preferred the noodles more al dente. *Bronzino- prepared well, flavorful Service was ok, busy. We would definitely return... I want to check out their rooftop. It was a bit chilly that night so we didn't really enjoy it. read more

Excellent escargot hidden inside this very fluppy puff pastry with very flavorful sauce. My halibut has a great taste to it but it's slightly overdone. the rest of our meals were good. Pardon me, but I remembered the drinks were okay we had more drinks than food item, i think so our total for two = $269 plus 20% tip = $324. Service was good and our server alerted us that gratuity was included in the bill so that was good, no need to calculate 20% only additional if warranted... The place was decorated well with high open but painted white ceiling. I want to return for their apres ski on Saturdays before it ends in March for sure. read more

Great service, nice ambiance, a little pricy, but I'd come back to try other menu items. Beef tartare: exploding with flavors that help to mask the texture. French onion soup: really good, not too salty, comes with a lot of cheese Steak frites/daube de boeuf: both entrees were good. The mushrooms had a lot of flavor and paired very well with the beef. read more

We were looking forward to a return visit to Parc de Ville. Sadly, we were disappointed. It was a chilly, post-holiday evening. We were happy we could walk across the courtyard of the Archer Hotel and into the warm interior of the restaurant. We had Open Table reservations and were promptly seated. After that things slowed down. It took a bit longer than expected for our drinks to arrive. Nothing complicated: a beer and a glass of wine. Our order was simple: two Bistro Burgers with fries. It took almost an hour from the time we were seated for the meal to arrive! During that time, our server did not stop by even once to explain the slow service. I had a good view of the kitchen from my seat and could not detect any stress in the kitchen. Our plates were finally delivered by a different server. When I asked about the delay she rolled her eyes and blamed the kitchen. Perhaps staff shortage right after the holidays? Our server reappeared when it was time for our check. Suddenly friendly and chatty. Wanted to know the origin of our name. Odd question! One other thing that annoyed me was the overly casual appearance of the young hostess. Yes, a bistro is casual, but first impressions make a difference. Jeans, a sweatshirt, and cloth tennis shoes are a bit too casual IMO. The food? Good, not great. With many nearby options, we may not return. The previous visit really felt like a French bistro. Great food and service. Probably would have rated it four or five stars. This time it felt like an ordinary American meal. Three stars at best. read more

Came here in a Friday around 8:30. Parking was easy as it's located next to 2 garages. The place was packed. That being said the service was still great and our waiters all had good suggestions. We hand multiple changes of waiters, not sure why but either way the the transition was smooth. Loved the ambience, it reminded me of being in a nice hotel restaurant. The high ceilings and well lit area made the mood better. We ordered the escargot, cheese platter, steak and grits, and steak tar tar, and a few cocktails. All the dishes were excellent as were the drinks I generally don't like blue cheese but for some reason it was great here. Lastly, they asked us to cut into the steak and check the temperature which was great, and something that only higher end steak restaurants do so that was nice. read more

Finally made it to this spot after moving to Merrifield this spring. I had been dying to check out the rooftop and it did not disappoint! Nice couches, tables, hanging lights, a little fireplace. They had some very good happy hour deals depending on what you like. We got the chefs choice charcuterie with two glasses of wine for around $22. The cheeses were outstanding and the wine was also very good. I got the French martini which was a beautiful purple color-- I highly recommend. We had other dinner plans for the evening, but will definitely have to come back for more food and drinks! read more

3.5 rounding up to 4 Is this on par with L'Auberge Chez Francois (Great Falls, VA), Bistrot Du Coin (DC), or Tersiguel's (Ellicott City, MD) no it is not. But it is decent French inspired food for an urban shopping center location. Logistics: forget street parking. There is a nearby parking garage, but it can fill up quick on weekends. Reservations are available via Open Table. Online ordering is via Toast https://www.toasttab.com/parc-de-ville/v3 There is a rooftop lounge, but we ate inside. Onion soup is the star. Lots of cheese and a solid strong beef broth plus plenty of onions. Moules frites were meh both on the mussels and the fries. The cheese plate was decent but the cheese portions were small. The pate de campagne was excellent. Perfect texture and awesome flavors. The wine list is limited, but has some good options, albeit at a considerable markup. For example, the 2017 Château de Grandchamp which generally retails around $20 a bottle is $72 here. Service was good. Would come back if already at the Mosaic shopping district. Would not go out of my way to come here. read more

We had a mediocre experience at Parc de Ville when we visited for an early dinner. Parc de Ville is a mainstreamed French restaurant at the base of the Archer hotel in Mosaic district. For service, there appeared to be only one server working the entire restaurant and would often zoom past with half-past or zero acknowledgement. We could see 5+ employees working in the kitchen, but only one was available in the dining area. I was a bit underwhelmed by the drinks we ordered, though the food was excellent. Highly recommend the steak frites and short ribs! This is one of a few restaurants that have complimentary bread - and very good in softness and flavor. The La Chachat was excellent as well. The restaurant seemed completely lacking of any air conditioning. It was difficult to enjoy the food for the lack of air, and there was no mention or indication from the staff. When I looked up, I noticed a large stain in the corner of the dining area. I also noticed a missing light above the bar area. Overall, for the price of the meal, I was unimpressed with the ambiance, though the flavors were good. With air conditioning and more servers, though could have been an excellent experience. read more

A good friend of mine was DJing on the roof, and after wanting to see him for literally a year at this point, our schedules and proximity finally lined up. I was able to park in the garage across the street (have to pay on Saturdays), and I walked in. The first floor is a full-on restaurant, but it only took me a few seconds to find the stairs -- though there was no sign indicating what they lead to. As soon as I got to the top I knew I was in the right place. It's open, and they happened to be some art on display while DJs (including my friend) were spinning. There is a very long ledge with several stools for putting food or drinks, and there were also several tables on the slightly lower level. The bar is in the back corner, which was my first stop. I was recommended their version of the Bee's Knees drink, which is usually pretty sweet, but they added a bitter twist to it. It was good!! Drinks were a little $$ so I opted for just one -- but I totally love the vibe of the place. DJ or not, it's great to hang out at when the weather cooperates. I cannot speak on the food, but I will have to return for that. Looking forward to when I do! read more

This is such a great addition to Mosaic District! I dined here with a work colleague to celebrate their recent promotion and enjoyed our dinner here. We started off with the escargot and salad maison (that bistro vinaigrette is addicting!), and la chachat. Let me tell you, the goat cheese smothered in honey was absolutely divine! For our entrees, we split the daube de bouef and duck confit as recommended by our server. Both were hearty and we were satisfied and stuffed afterward. There was an extensive wine list, but you could get wine anywhere so we went with cocktails for the evening. My favorite was the Rose Garden which was the perfect concoction of tart and sweet, and refreshing, especially for the warm weather. My colleague enjoyed their L'Americain and raved about the orange zest. The restaurant itself felt charming and was reminiscent of the bistros that we dined at in Paris. There's also a rooftop bar which would probably be a super fun happy hour during the warmer months! read more

I'm only giving three stars because I've only tried a couple items on the menu. The first well-sauced escargot pictured was the reason I went back two weeks later. It was that good. Unfortunately, the second visit left me a bit wanting...of more of that delicious sauce. They hired a new head chef who didn't add as much sauce as my first visit. The bartender was kind enough to bring me a side of sauce when I asked. The French Onion soup is more on the sweet side (maybe heavier on the sherry) than I prefer. The fries were a standout! I plan to go back and try their steak frites and will update my review. read more

The service was good and the staff was attentive. We came for dinner on a Friday and it was busy. Reservations are highly recommended. read more

This review is on behalf of my wife and her friends who went there last night. Pros: - atmosphere is cute Cons: - horrible hostess. Group got there 30 minutes early and it looked like there was obvious empty seats/tables available. Group asked if they'd be able to get seated earlier and the hostess with an attitude gave her response rudely. A simple "sorry, we can't" would've been nice. - ordered a medium steak which was over cooked. Called the waiter over to have it fixed. Their manager or someone came over and instead of an apology they started explaining how steaks are cooked in a patronizing way. - with the correction of the steak they under cooked this time and gave us essentially a rare steak. Instead of sending it back, decided to take it home and cook it later. - check had issues. You have a option to pay with google pay. The paper check was accurate, the google pay version was not. Why offer google pay if you're not going to update that properly? Overall: This should be a 0.5 review. Maybe our experience would've been better with a different host and other employees we encountered. But based on who we interacted with.....this place is not worth visiting. Their automatic 20% service fee provides no incentive for their workers to provide good service. Diners should be able to put in a negative tip amount if service is crap! read more

Beautiful new restaurant in the area. It encapsulates the vibe of a French brasserie,however I did not feel that the food lived up to the standards of authentic French food. I had the beef tartare and the proportions seemed to be a bit off. It was way too acidic and did not have the rich and delicate flavor profile one associates with that dish. read more

Overall ambiance and vibes of the restaurant was amazing. The decor is very cute! Our server was very attentive and offered recommendations based on our questions. The food overall was okay, but I also just may not be a big fan of French food. Big fan of the escargot, La cachat and Poulet Roti. The salmon was a bit overcooked. The bucatini provencal was pretty good, but I'd definitely get the poulet roti over that one. The rice pudding was delicious! It has caramel and caramelized sugar on top for some crunchy pieces and wasn't too sweet! The creme brulee unfortunately did not live up to expectations at a French restaurant. read more

My husband and I scheduled a monthly date night at Parc de Ville and this time, I can say I was highly disappointed. The drinks, caesar, French onion soup and escargot were solid. In particular, the escargot; however, the mussels were super fishy. My husband enjoyed the short ribs, but when offered an alternative entree, I completely passed. The poor seafood taste entirely turned me off. We have had prior good experiences at this restaurant and I have previously been recommended the mussels, which I order frequently elsewhere, but wow, what a miss. read more

We had the selection of three cheeses and the pâté - both were delicious and beautifully presented.

My husband and eldest son had burgers and said they were excellent as well. For dessert we had the rice pudding and raspberry sorbet - both divine.

A friend and I enjoyed a delicious dinner here following a movie in the mosaic district. We had a reservation and were seated in a lovely spot by a window. I'll note however that there didn't seem to be a bad seat in this space! There were comfy looking booths, as well as a rooftop with a limited menu. Delicious bread and butter was brought to the table shortly after we were seated. This was the perfect starter. I ordered the pistachio pesto bucatini and my friend got the burger. We were both pleased! The bucatini was a sizable serving and I ended up with leftovers. Having enjoyed those leftovers since, I can say they held up very well! I'll add that I enjoyed a cocktail too. I believe it was called the rose window. It was gin based- floral and perfect for summer sipping. If I were to come back I'd look out for a rooftop happy hour, or something similar. All in all, consider this spot for dining in the Mosaic district. I doubt you'd be disappointed. read more
