    We came here with my family on a Saturday evening, we made reservations and they were able to seat us right away. Great atmosphere, food and drinks were amazing. Staff did a wonderful job of being attentive to us without feeling rushed or pushy. We will be dining here again in the near future.

    We had a vegan, a vegetarian, and two standard menus at our table. So nice to have everyone enjoy their own treats. My one recommendation would be to also make a curd and cream available for the vegan menu as well. Both very simple to make vegan. Other than that there wasn't a huge disparity in the menus. Each bite was delicious. We loved the beautiful decorations and the harpist playing background music. Despite the hefty price tag, I will return again to enjoy this delectable, special experience.

    We enjoyed every aspect of our dinner at the Willard Cafe Du Parc. The customer service was extraordinary from the hostess to the restaurant staff waiter Martin, the Manager, the Cheff, everyone went well beyond their call of duty to make our experience an excellent one. I am eternally obliged. Every item we ordered from the menu were outstanding. No complaints whatsoever! It was a special occasion for us and the staff made it very very special for us. The hostess even called me in advance to ask where we would like to sit! That is what I call customer service excellence! My hats off to the Willard Management team for holding such unbelievable customer service and care and quality of staff at the highest levels. We will be back again. Thank YOU! Alex
