    We have dined at Ironside a number of times and have not been disappointed. The seafood is fresh the service outstanding and the overall ambience enjoyable. Parking is just around the corner, albeit a little expensive for 2 hours. The wine selection is limited, so if you are looking for a variety of fine wine, you may be disappointed. Overall a great dining experience.

    First time at C-level for a date night! We sat outside at table right next to water. The heaters made it comfortable and it was a beautiful view of the harbor! The server was great-perfect suggestions and attentive at the appropriate times. We had the oysters, artichoke fritters, wedge BLT, and filet. Then, the brownie sundae for dessert! It was all delicious! I will go back for the wedge BLT and sundae alone! It was a great dinner and would defintely recommend!

    Excellent service & fabulous food! Had a beautiful table/space for our group & just had a great time. Superb dining experience! They occasionally have music & they had a singer which was fun (but maybe a tad bit loud for our family’s dining experience…might suggest more of a background holiday music at this time of year & bring back the fun, classic old school singer in the New Year! ) but just my table’s thoughts. Singer was very friendly and nice! Just needs to add some holiday tunes at Christmas! Overall, Parc is an excellent restaurant & I highly recommend it!

    We had a wonderful early evening dinner. Our waiter was kind, informative, courteous and timely. The fajitas, mahi tacos, carne asada nachos, and Tres Leches Cake and margaritas were delicious. Parking was plenty and free. The views of the city at night with the Christmas lights was stunning.
