    We were greeted, seated and then treated to a lovely dining experience. We started with a couple of the specialty cocktails-Romarin and Nouveau Basilic: their pour was generous as our drinks lasted through our meals. A bonus of a basket of bread was brought to our table, such a rarity! Baguette, sourdough and what seamed a seasonal bread with cranberry and walnuts with beurre---seemed such a treat! Our waiter was attentive and made well informed dinner suggestions after asking us our preferences and we enjoyed the beef bourguignon; duck a l'orange and roasted chicken. Parc has made our top 10 list of places to eat while in Philly!

    Fast,friendly and 100% accurate service.We got seated right away and had our food within the next 15 mins.we got there at 7 and was done our food by 7:23😂Waiter was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.I liked that he kept checking in with us because everytime we usually go out we usually get left for a while and have to flag someone down.This was the first place we've been to that we didn't have to do that at all.Drinks was good too and they have a bar set up in the middle of the restaurant which I found pretty unique.Definitely recommend and will be coming here again.

    It had been about 8 years since I had been to Banks. The oyster selection is decent. The Brussels sprout salad, clams casino and Lobster in the Nude were great. The only downside was the clam chowder, that was all potatoes and no clams.

    Food was great. Service was kind but inefficient. Never bought back requested items. 20% service fee automatically added… didn’t like that. Convenient for pre-show at the grand.
