    This was our first time at Parkers'. We chose it because our last name Parker! It did not disappoint. The bar is beautiful. Our table near the fireplace was perfect. Food, service, drinks (I had two Revolvers), ambiance, attention were all perfect. This place will be on our calendar quite often now. RP

    We loved hearing the jazz band during our brunch. Amazing choices for food. The lobster bisque and steak frites were the stars at our table. Finished with the butter cake which was the best we have ever had.

    The food never disappoints at Parker’s. The whitefish was fantastic. I substituted spinach for roasted mushrooms and they were excellent! The dining room was packed so it got a bit noisy but that’s because so many people go there to celebrate. We were celebrating a friend’s birthday. Also the jazz singer in the bar area is amazingly good and it’s fun to have an after drink in there to listen to her sing and play piano.

    Service was good, food was good, never waited for anything other than water glass refill. The only issue was how warm it was in the restaurant. We didn't linger because it was so warm.

    The Food, Atmosphere & Service were exceptional at Parker’s. My wife & I had Dinner with another couple, and we had a fantastic time. Kelle was our server and she was phenomenal. She helped me have a perfect meal, as I can be quite particular of what I like, and how I like my meal. Kelle was so helpful & so attentive. Her recommendations were perfect. Her choices of wine were just right and not very expensive. Her upbeat & pleasant manner enhanced our Evening. She was so knowledgeable, as well as informative on a Great Brunch they also have at Parker’s on the Weekend. All four of us will definitely be back to Parker’s.
