Out of all the Sixty Vines in the DMV, this is the best location hands down!

Simplicity incarnate, Medium Rare makes a very good salad and a meaty, well-cooked culotte steak that's not the tenderest but is very tasty. The fries are great as well, and since there is nothing on the minuscule menu other than desserts that contain gluten, can be safely eaten by celiac sufferers. The value is extraordinary and service is pleasant and efficient.

Everything about the restaurant was amazing. We had a reservation and were seated within 5-minutes of arriving. The food was phenomenal and on par with what you’d expect from a French restaurant. The wine was an added benefit. Our server was very attentive and offered great recommendations. If the opportunity arises, we will be definitely be back to experience more from Cafe Du Parc!

Exceptional food and service. Reasonable prices given the quality. Space is comfortable but not fancy/luxurious. It has become our go-to restaurant when we want to be assured of a very good upscale meal.

We had an excellent experience for our party of 7 that was there for a celebration dinner on a weeknight. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding! The cornbread with maple butter appetizer and Braised Beef Risotto where both really good. The cocktails and made in-house desserts were enjoyed by all.

absolutely delightful food -- every dish is delicious -- this time and the prior two times I have been to Persimmon. I keep trying other places, but Persimmon is consistently better. Especially nice for lunch too!

    We had an amazing time at Le Sel. Everything was delicious and the server was attentive and kind. The crème brûlée is a must order. We loved the mussels and fish sandwich too!
