   Our experience was very disappointing. We arrived and were seated at 2:05. Ordered our food at 2:15 and had to ask the server if she would take our drink order. Our first course of soups were served at 2:55 minus one bowl which we had to wait for an additional 7 minutes. We brought this to the managers attention and then the final soup was served. The entries came out shortly after and again one plate was left off. Halfway throughout everyone’s meal the final plate was served. Incidentally my niece found a short hair in her food. For a restaurant to not be so busy, I must say the service was severely lacking and the kitchen times were ridiculously long. Overall a very poor and disappointing experience.

   There were just two of us on a Saturday night. We were seated at a 2-top with a wait stand directly behind one of our chairs. I was dubious, but recognized that using a 4-top or booth for a table of two on a Saturday night didn't seem right. I should've gone with my gut. I was distracted the entire meal by the waitstaff who congregated at the stand. They weren't loud or obtrusive, but it's distracting when people constantly whisk up behind you and then stand for a few seconds while speaking in hushed tones. The upshot is that we will definitely return. The food, general atmosphere, and service made it a pleasant experience. But we won't sit at the same table.

   The cocktails were wonderful. The escargot were OK but I would have preferred them in the shell with melted butter and garlic. Overall, the appetizers (we had 3 different ones) were nicely done but the portions were tiny. The duck comfit was very dry and the pommes frites were rather tasteless. The clams were terrible. The deserts were wonderful. Service was excellent. I would recommend for the cocktails, appetizers and desserts.

   Plusses - steak Frites was excellent, crab cake and bread were both as well. Minuses- worst bernaise sauce on the planet. Served cold (as in straight.from the fridge) in a ramekin with wierd, nearly raw, onions throughout. Thank God it was on the side. Saltless onion soup and over salted salade. And Italian water in a French restuarant!!!!! Other plusses- nice wine choices, and very professional waitress.

    I came here for dinner and had an excellent experience. There appeared to be a convention in town and so the restaurant was packed with large tables (8+), and I was just a table for one. Even though the staff was so busy they were constantly checking in on me. I had six members of staff checking in on me by doing tasks such as refilling my water, asking if I needed anything, or grabbing a dessert menu, etc. I ordered a mule for my drink (absolutely delicious!) and a short-rib for my meal. It all tasted wonderful. I was also seated in a great location for people watching. End result: the food and drink here is spectacular and the waitstaff are communicative, attentive, and always on the move.

    Each of our food items was outstanding. It was served at an excellent temperature and the service was attentive and professional. Live music was nothing special. Noticed that the music continued when she removed her hands from her guitar. Overall noise level, however, was at a low comfortable volume. Biggest problem was the homeless in the area. In only one block, we crossed the street to avoid one situation only to be confronted by an aggressive panhandler out of our vision when we went the opposite direction. Very sad situation in downtown Houston. May prevent us from returning to this restaurant. Does not feel safe.

    Business dinner. They have few vegan or vegetarian dishes for my guest as such he only ate a side of mushrooms and a dry simple salad with oil & vinegar. There was no dessert item he could eat with his prescribed dietary restrictions. The onion soup I had is much better at any other restaurant. One delicious item was Cesar salad with filet anchovies a top. Great flavor and presentation. I ate every bite.

    We really like this place but they need to refocus on service. Reservation at 7. Didn’t get our wine until 8. Didn’t get our food until 9. The manager reacted and comped our appetizers and desserts but it took away from the experience. We’ll be back but hope they get it together.

    The worst experience. Terrible service. We had reservations for 6:15 on Saturday and were not seated until over an hour later at 7:30. The waiter then told us we would probably wait another hour to get food. Ridiculous. We had to leave to make it to our concert after missing the opening acts. (We stopped at Phoenicia next door on the way to the concert and got much better service and - voila! - actual food to eat!)

    A wonderful experience. First time for my wife and I to visit… busy, but the bar was a cozy and welcoming waiting area where we enjoyed upscale and intelligent conversations with patrons who lived in the apartment building above the restaurant. Once we were seated the service was first class and the food was excellent. We started with RAVIOLIS AUX CHAMPIGNONS as the appetizer… excellent if you enjoy fresh mushroom sauce… and for dinner we had SOLE “MEUNIÈRE” for my wife and I had FAUX FILET DE BOEUF… my wife’s fish was perfect and so was my steak. Enjoy this restaurant with the mind set that being patient will reap big rewards… Enjoy.

    Think your reservation will get you a table? Not here. Several parties with 6 pm reservations had to settle for bar seating as 7 pm approached. Hostess not very accommodating. Our celebratory meal was certainly not what we wanted, and we will not return unless they have a better handle on reservations.

    We read some negative reviews on slow service but to be fair, it was the bar service that made for a less than great beginning. More than 30 minutes wait for anything other than water was frustrating. Once we ordered food however there were no complaints, appetisers and main courses arrived as expected. All were well presented, crab cake excellent. Catch of the Day; Steak, Mushroom Risotto did not disappoint. A couple of noisy tables (not the restaurant’s fault) made conversation a challenge but overall we had a pleasant experience and would visit again

    Had a wonderful evening celebrating a friend's 55th birthday. The food was scrumptious. Service was a little slow due to staffing shortage, but they were very polite and apologetic about the shorthandedness. Great view from location overlooked Discovery Green. Desserts were incredible. Looking forward to a return visit.

    Wallace, our waiter, did an amazing job taking care of us during his extremely busy work day. Paul the Maitre'd also did a great job helping and we had nice conversation. Tony the manager followed up with us at the end and told us about the upcoming renovations. We had the escargot, foie gras, coq au vin, mussels and the raspberry crepe. All in all the food and service was outstanding. If we could make one small adjustment, we would encourage reducing the amount of cream, this will more closely resemble french mussels and enhance the flavor. All in all a great experience.

    My wife and I went for brunch. Started with Mimosas and Hibiscus cocktails, then we ordered escargots and crab cake as appetizer. Both choices were delicious, great taste, excellent presentation and right size. The entrees consisted of short beef ribs and duck. Juicy, tasty and good size. Caramelized onions and mashed potatoes were the right complement. Finally a créme brulée and coffee closed our great experience at this place. The service was excellent and the price was adequate. We will return to this place soon.

    This was our fourth time at Brasserie du Parc. Foods were the usual excellence. Service was quick, quiet, and courteous. Very nice ambience with that French Cafe vibe. Prices were also moderate. My wife and I shared an escargot. She had the lobster thermidor, a daily special. I had the NY strip. We shared the clafoutis for dessert. Add in 3 glasses of wine between the two of us and the bill came out under $200. The only knock against the restaurant was the parking. We had to park in an open lot across the street and it was $20. Yikes!

    I have been to Brasserie at least 20 and I supported this place during the pandemic by ordering to go, as well as by eating there all the time. Today was my last time. They offered a fixed menu for $75.00 per person. It would be OK if what they offered was worth it. It was not! The crab cake was in reality a potato cake because one couldn’t taste any crab at all. My friend had the fish and I had the fillet Wellington. Both were eatable, but nothing that I’d remember tomorrow. There were two choices of dessert: a chocolate mousse or passion fruit ice cream. I don’t like either, so my 75.00 dinner turned out to be a fake crab cake (potato cake) and a fillet Wellington. Will never go back! When a restaurant put money over quality and service, it is bound to fail. Very disappointed!

    Understaffed and underwhelming. Came in through the side entrance by the bar and stood at the empty hostess station for a few minutes while staff walked past before someone mentioned that the hostess was around the other entrance. Because of the layout you can’t see the one hostess station when standing at the other so there’s no way to know it exists. No signs on the door or at the station. We saw several other groups go through the same song and dance. Come in the door, wait, look for signs, wait more, finally someone at the bar clues them in and they go around to be seated. Service was slow. The server took the appetizer and drink order but didn’t come around for the main order until well after the appetizer was finished. Waited 20 min for a refill on water and another 15 for the check after we were clearly finished. They gave us the wrong drinks and were out of one of the main entrees. I would have mentioned something to the manager, but it was clear he was at the center of the problems. Manager was continually rude to the staff instead of jumping in to help. He seemed more interested in riding the visibly irritated staff than making sure the customers were taken care of. The food was good but not good enough to make up for the rest. The place has potential but I couldn’t recommend it under current management.
