Service was actually excellent and the food was good if not overwhelming. Decor is nonexistent. Pricing is silly, but the place was busy so apparently the market is bearing the pricing. Tables for 2 are squeezed so tight they might as well put everybody at a table for 6 ; either way you are going to make some new friends. Overall I would compare to other bistros in DC, and I think there are far better choices all things considered.

Was there over the last weekend and was not happy with the food and the service. After my complaint the management reacted harsh. Would not go back there again.

The food is French in name only. Actually, it is pedestrian American fare with a French name. The service is good. But the busboys and kitchen workers are loud and thoughtless. You can count on hearing loud personal conversations throughout your meal; workers throw chairs, plates and utensils when they set up tables. Unfortuantely, the Willard is in a state of decline. This is its remaining restaurant and it is disappointing.

Exquisitely prepared food with a heavy French influence. The Sunday buffet brunch includes an amazing selection of food--NOT your typical brunch selection--and that's a good thing. Take small portions of everything, because when you go back, there will be different dishes to choose from. Service was pleasant and attentive.

COCKROACH ON THE FLOOR I am so surprised to see all those reviews, because my experience at the Cafe du Parc has been the worst ever. The food is ok, everything was good until I see a coach roach on the floor. I expected something great from a French restaurant but this is gross and lousy. NEVER EVER I will go back there.
