Parterre

We loved our visit to Parterre, located downtown within walking distance of Thanksgiving Chapel and the AT&T Discovery District. It's located on the ground floor of the Santander Tower at the corner of Elm and North Ervay. Parking is beneath it in a parking garage that is outrageously priced, but Parterre provides validation for three hours of free parking to customers.We ordered the Turkey AVO sandwich, a buttery crisp, savor turkey delight on thick sourdough. The blackened shrimp tacos were also yummy with a rich sauce and sweet corn. I'd recommend the corn tortillas over flour. We also sampled two coffees: Everything Nice & Caramel Apple Cider. Noth were well balanced and delicious, though only 10 oz.Service was a little slow, we had to ask for things several times. But, it was nice to not feel rushed. I might have been more relaxed had I known when we sat down the parking was free. Also, the glass at our table looked several days past the need to be cleaned. It's possible some party was there with kids putting food-fingers all over it. But there was a layer of dust outside too, which hindered the fun of people watching in this area. Ambience was light, open, and airy. Would repeat!

Just went for drinks....... They make their own in-house lavender syrup. Do yourself a favor and order a lavender mimosa!! Created my wife and I's new obsession!

From the moment we stepped into Parterre at 11:30 in the morning, the vibrant yet relaxing atmosphere set the tone for a perfect midday meal. The aesthetic is modern and sleek, creating a welcoming space to unwind. I started with a Classic Margarita, a refreshing choice to begin the day--light, balanced, and just the right amount of kick. The Violet Delight was a real showstopper, both in presentation and taste, with its unique floral notes adding a refreshing twist.For food, the Steak California Burrito was absolutely delicious. The steak was perfectly cooked--tender and flavorful--wrapped with fresh ingredients that made for a hearty and satisfying dish.A special shoutout to Xavier, who was an amazing bartender and steward. He introduced us to the menu and drinks with enthusiasm, enhancing our experience with his excellent recommendations. His attention to detail made us feel truly taken care of, and his knowledge really helped us navigate the offerings.Overall, the combination of great food, standout drinks, and exceptional service made for an amazing brunch experience at Parterre!

So fancy! I stopped by Parterre for a quick, light lunch before work. I felt a little self-conscious because I was the only one there, but I sat at the bar (my favorite spot) anyways. Everyone was super nice. I got a Salmon Bagel & Strawberry Matcha, which I suppose were a little pricey, but I expensed them for work so that really didn't matter to me.Both items were delicious! The Salmon Bagel ($16) had all the fixings--cream cheese, dill, capers, pickled red onions, and smoked salmon--on an everything bagel. I don't think it was caffeinated, but the Strawberry Matcha ($8.50) had strawberry, matcha, and milk. Would come back again, next time for cocktails. The seating situation is cute, too!

The space is nice and they have live Jazz on Friday nights. I came here for a dinner party and the experience gave off that they weren't equipped to handle large parties or they simply weren't prepared that night even though the event was reserved in advance. Our waiter struggled to keep track of orders and appeared disorganized. Another waiter eventually stepped in to assist and he ended up doing a phenomenal job. He picked up slack and had more knowledge to offer about the menu. If not for our secondary waiter, we probably would have left a lot sooner, live Jazz be damned. The Food: I ordered Steak Frites and it was just what I needed in that moment. My medium steak was prepared perfectly and the fries were delicious. Did I mention how good the fries were? I didn't care for the broccolini that came out looking like garnish as opposed to an actual side. On top of that, it had an extreme crunch to it as if was roasted for too long... so disappointing.

My husband brought me here on a Saturday morning after getting facials! Surprisingly the place wasn't too busy and we were seated immediately. We ended up moving to the bar to better see the TVs. The decore is cute yet modern. Xavier , our bartender, took great care of us offering several great recommendations. I ended up getting an espresso martini. It was called the cafe Amande. It was delicious and perfectly presented. I also ordered the steak frites which was filing and flavorful. I ended up getting a second drink . A gimlet with tequila instead of the standard vodka. Very refreshing . We finished off our Saturday brunch with shots of casamigo! We'll definitely be returning !

Wasn't sure if I needed a reservation but we went ahead and got one and it seemed to be a good idea due to limited seatings. Beautiful space and the coffee and food are just as good as the atmosphere. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The coffee was more reasonably priced than the food though.Their BEC bagel was delicious, but for $14 I wished it came with a side. And the Avo Blt was also great. The bread was too crispy. I didn't like the side salad as much since the dressing was so sweet. We had their signature drinks to go: apple pie chai and everything nice and would recommend both.

Perfect for our book club brunch! Great food and we got a bottle of bubbles for mimosas. The service was great, even with a big rush of seating at once. Great ambiance.

Great service for a big group, loved it! Food was perfect and was such a cute place for us. Definitely recommend!

Friendly servers, excellent fruit bowl and salads, delicious coffee and the turkey avocado sandwich.... I need more of that in my life! It's open and airy, nice low music, and really sweet waitresses. We went twice in two days. It was just such a sweet calming spot! The teddybear latte and the mocha were excellent. Plain black coffee hit the spot too! Just delicious
