Have always wanted to go to Benihana. I lived in Japan for 6 years so am a fan of tepanyaki. My husband and I chose seating in the bar area since it was just the two of us. We were seated in a quiet, intimate area next to windows overlooking the snow covered Japanese garden. Beautiful view despite the urban setting! We selected meals from the specialties section of the menu - excellent value for what you get: grilled filet mignon, veggies, shrimp, lobster with soup, salad, green tea and sherbet! The food was fantastic! Grilled to perfection with ginger and garlic sauce and a mustard sauce for added umami. Delicious! You don’t have to be seated at the communal grill with a view of the chef for an excellent meal. Can’t wait to go back!!

Parker's has become our go-to restaurant for special occasions. My husband & I decided to celebrate Valentine's Day with lunch, and it was a great decision! Our server Maria was friendly, pleasant and helpful. As Maria suggested, we started with a small plate of calamari to share. The calamari were perfectly cooked and accented by both the cocktail sauce and the remoulade sauce. My husband's entre was the lobster roll - delicious and FULL of lobster meat. I chose the fish and chips and was surprised by the size of the serving. I ended up taking half of it home. The fish was incredibly fresh, lightly breaded, and sooooo good. We finished our meal off by sharing the caramel budino, which was rich and decadent, the perfect amount for sharing. All in all, we would recommend Parker's to anyone looking for fresh, well-prepared seafood, a beautiful space, great service, and with convenient parking.

A good place for lunch, wasn’t very busy so it was relaxed. Quick, friendly service but some of the items didn’t come out quite right. Nothing major, just of note. Also their supplier hadn’t come for several days so they were out of many items- not their fault at all, but disappointing. Would definitely go back!
