Parque - Forsyth County

I thank the reviewer who posted the inspection report because that is the first thing I looked for when I arrived for a Valentine Dinner, reservation made by Open Table at 7:15 pm for two. The report is now at 88 and easily found at the front by the oysters. I suspect in the next week or two it will be over 92. I'll keep this short as possible. We were greeted with a smile by the hostess and seated at our reservation time. The place was full. Our server knew the menu and drink offerings. During the entire meal I was able to watch the staff. Even though they were very busy, the service was prompt, pleasant and the body language of the employees was relaxed but on task. Servers were smiling and interacting with each other and guests in a professional manner. Kitchen has hired a sous chef that has vastly improved the flow of food orders. The cooks were also smiling, relaxed body language and were busy. We had Elderflower Spritz (refreshing), Red Hare Tangerine IPA (liked); whitefish spread and crackers were excellent and fresh; Roasted beet salad was generous and delicious; we each had the catch of the day, one had blackened swordfish and one had pan seared swordfish with creamy celery root purée, sautéed spinach, chimichurri-basil pesto, hakurei turnips, crispy fried leeks . Excellent and priced right at $32 . For dessert we had chocolate gelato with dark cherries and a smoky Manhatten. Our server was Abby and the greeter was Heather. 4 stars.

Currently sitting in restaurant. It's almost 7pm and we have been here for 2 hours. Just got the food let see how it taste..worth the wait? Not worth it. You can get a better grouper at Texas road house.

Not good. I felt bad for our poor server who was busy but come on. We got to the table and we sat for almost 20 minutes from when we ordered drinks to when they arrived. The Old Fashion I ordered was more like bourbon flavored water and was nasty. I decided to switch to wine to save myself from their bar tender and I saw my glass of wine sitting on at the station for almost 35 minutes. I was DONE with my meal before she brought it to the table. I tried multiple times to catch her attention to politely point out that it was there but she never looked over at us. Our Calamari came out not just room temperature but COLD. Obviously it had been sitting for ages waiting on our server to bring it out. I tried to send it back to get something warm, but I tried multiple times to catch her eye to talk to her about it and never did. I have up and ate cold calamari. Then there was my wife’s dinner. She has a few food allergies so she just asked them to hold a few things from the plate. Nothing special. No substitutions or special replacements. Just hold a few things. Instead they brought the plate out with nothing held. Again it took forever to catch the servers attention. They brought it back to the kitchen and and 5 minutes later the her plate came back out. They obvious did not refire a new pork chop for her. Instead they rinsed off the gravy, pan seared and made it tough as nails and disgusting looking. That was the last straw for us. We definitely won’t be back. The only reason they didn’t get 1 star was that my scallops were very tasty.

Scored a 50 U on their health inspection on 1/20/2022. Won't be going back until they get their score up.

Service definitely needs upgrading. Ate 12/3 reservations at 7:30 for two. Yes date night. Kept us waiting for table for 15 minutes. Could have grabbed a drink at the bar if we knew the wait, but no just kept us standing there. Sat down, menu selection was very small, but nice variety. Very noisy restaurant. Placed drink order martini and a beer. Waited over 20 minutes for the Martini, the beer was over 30 minutes. During this time we were continually asked to order. Our response was after we get our drinks ..... hint where is the alcohol. Once drinks came we ordered calamari for the appetizer and we wanted that out first and after the appetizer we wanted our entrées which was the snapper and the muscles. Well the entrées came out before the appetizers and then we're like OK just hold the calamari until we're done with the entrées and we'll have the calamari afterwords well about two seconds later the calamari came out. The food was prepared very well and the prices were good but service was awful. The server was very soft spoken and her middle name was sorry. For a place that is trying to have an upscale atmosphere and service, it failed. The food and drinks were good. But everything else was out of a bad comedy about a restaurant. Would I recommend this place. Probably not even though the food and drinks were good, it was not the dining out experience that one would want at their price point.
