    We were seated in the lovely side room close to a warm & comfy fireplace. The room was beautifully decorated for the holidays. We love the little lamps on each table, making it easy to read the menu. We both had the delicious Ahi, which is out of the world so fabulous. It came with some delicious spinach and we asked for the baked potato, which is our favorite. Great service and we had such a wonderful evening there!

    Something was off about all the food last night, not sure why. New or different chef? Every meal was not good. Usually Parkside is wonderful but not likely to return for awhile.

    We had a lovely dinner, even better than most at Parkside - which is typically very nice. The sole special was fantastic and the rigatoni a la vodka was exceptional. Can't go wrong with the Parkside Manhattan and it was nice to sit by the fireplace on a cold night.

    The quality and the taste of food at Parkside Grill was amazing and we really liked the ambiance. Our table was in noisy location we will definitely come back and ask for a quieter table, but when we are not drinking a nice bottle of wine. Their wine glasses were super clunky. Perhaps the restaurant saves their nicer wine glasses for customers who purchase wine from the restaurant!?
