Opened at the Lafayette Park Hotel & Spa last August, the Park Bistro & Bar replaces the 27-year-old Duck Club. A renovation of the space imparted a European country farmhouse look, and the new menu emphasizes steaks and shared plates. The main dining room seats 120 while the Wayside Room seats 15 for private dining and entertaining. The covered patio was also renovated and now has two fire pits and lounge seating.
