Party of three showed up early on a Friday evening. It wasn't as hot so we sat on their charming deck. We had a few cocktails (all delicious) and got the escargot. They were perfectly cooked and tasty. The servers were all very attentive and friendly. The owner, Guillaume, helped us pick our entrees and wine. We had the filet, scallops (2), and they were all very good, cooked as ordered, and a caprese salad that was so good. He also recommended a bottle of sauvignon blanc ($55) that was crisp and fruity. I always think of this place as very fancy and pricey; but the prices are really very reasonable with entrees in the $20's and the delicious wine. The grounds outside are very nicely tended with lots of flowers and hostas. Inside is very quaint and cozy. We definitely need to come here more often. Never disappointed!

Underwhelming, especially based on the many glowing reviews on this site. I got a vodka tonic, which was completely ordinary (a poor choice on my part if I'm being fair). I shared the salade de chevre chaud with my dining companion, which was interesting, but not exceptional (and not gluten free - I should have inquired, but the description said the cheese was encrusted with crushed walnuts, it did not mention bread crumbs). For dinner I had the Porc. The meat was tender, but the potatoes did not seem "carmelized" to me, and the sauce was rich, but quite one note. I tried the scallops my dining companion ordered and they were rubbery and overcooked. The service was pleasant, but far from doting on a quiet Tuesday evening. I wouldn't rush back.

Might be our new favorite restaurant! First time there. Outstanding service and food. Salad flavors were fantastic. Love the venue. We sat outside. Not cheap but great wine choices. Will be back.

Sometimes the dining stars align. Not all who wander through Parkville are lost but find themselves at Cafe Des Ami's doorstep by happy happenstance. With no reservations on a Friday night and 5 minute wait we were ushered to the outdoor dining area. Sublime breeze and a tree house like feel. Candles lit, wine sipped as we chatted with our young hostess. It's a family ran business and our hostess is first generation and her parents both French are busy taking care of patrons too. They go back to Paris every year and she's having a great first week back to school. Beef short ribs and a Le Creuset filled with mussels, shrimp, salmon in creamy wine sauce arrive. Both are divine and we leave no morsel behind thanks to the hot bread. Everything about the experience is thoughtful, meant to be enjoyed thoroughly. I almost felt bad snapping the image of it all, but just almost. It was a night worth remembering and eagerly look forward to repeating it.

The food was amazing as was the service. The restaurant is small and great for an intimate evening.

Café Des Amis is a wonderful spot for brunch or dinner, special occasions or a casual meal. For me, it's the highlight of downtown Parkville. The menu is always changing and it's always fun to see what's on the menu that day. Personally, I always order one of the main dishes including fish. When it's on the menu I've enjoyed the monkfish. I also like the bouillabaisse. The cheeseboard is a great appetizer, very intricate and picture worthy. It also has a great mix of flavors and textures that complement each other really well. The service is outstanding. They'll try hard to sell you on dessert and I suggest obliging. You won't be disappointed. I'd make a suggestion for brunch but I always order the same thing when it's available - Croque Madame. The wine list is extensive.

This was definitely a splurge for my birthday, and on my own "dime"! The food was incredible, including the duck breast with a blackberry sauce, and their sinfully good chocolate soufflé. My friend enjoyed the Barramundi entrée currently on the menu. Of course the atmosphere/ambience is definitely French, upscale, attractive, cozy, and romantic. But no romance is needed to enjoy their delectable and beautifully presented food. The service was very good, and both of our entrées and my soufflé came out much faster than expected. They prefer that you include all menu categories you want when you first order. But if you do decide on the soufflé later, allow an extra 15 minutes. One intriguing appetizer special was a vegetarian pate made with Lion's Mane mushrooms, which, if you've ever seen the amazing movie "Fabulous Fungi," you'll know is supposed to be very good for the brain and cognition! But even without that, I was very cognizant of the prices, which were generally more reasonable than I expected, but definitely not in my daily budget! Your check is accompanied by two very tiny tasty macarons! The restrooms at restaurants are important overall quality and cleanliness indicators to me, and they did not disappoint. The two gender neutral ones are clean, charmingly decorated, and all you have to do is press a button and a new clean plastic cover encircles the toilet seat! All in, I highly recommend this restaurant, especially for a special occasion. Do be prepared to walk up a somewhat steep outside wooden staircase to get in, but it's worth the climb!

Exquisite Cuisine matched with impeccable Service. We popped in on a weeknight without a reservation and we were seated immediately. The room was intimate and there were curtains drawn across other rooms. I would Definitely Recommend Reservations! Joseph promptly came over and introduced himself and went over all the specials in detail. Throughout the evening he thoughtfully asked about time between courses and if we wanted more bread, and was one of the most polite servers I've encountered. He never just assumed. He never removed a plate without asking. I appreciated his attention to our experience. One thing that did bother me is that fresh utensils were not brought between courses, but that is Quite French ( I assume ). The Food was Excellent. We started with Pate I loved the accoutrements. We got a second loaf of bread as it was delicious as well. We split a salad ( the chef split for us ) and then shared entrees. The chef's halibut special was excellent ( it was California halibut, so smaller flake versus Alaskan ). We also got lamb chops. I loved the chops were lollipop style because I'm not shy about picking up my food. We then ordered the sweetbreads ( they are a very savory appetizer ) before dessert because why not! My friend said the old fashioned wasn't good ( but I held my tounge, it's a French restaurant and I wouldn't expect a US cocktail to be top notch... ). French only wine list. The Crème Brulée was good, classic. The Chocolate Soufflé was perfect! I'm excited to come back for lunch.

We had a 8pm dinner on the patio. The patio is a nice quiet place eat overlooking main in Parkville. A light rain added to the ambiance. Service was excellent including the dinner recommendations. The food was cooked perfectly. Highly recommend the old fashioned with candied orange in the glass. Perfect date night get away only a few miles from home.
