    We had a wonderful experience at The Sky Room. It’s a beautiful space with an amazing view. Impecable service and delicious food and drinks. We had pre dinner cocktails at Alter Ego and Nikki was THE BEST! She was very knowledgable about the menu and gave great recommendations. Her sparkling energy set the tone for our fabulous night.

    This was our first time eating at Parker lighthouse. We found the service excellent and the food we had was fine. My husband really enjoyed the fish and chips. However, my clams were mediocre. The Mediterranean  was generous and very tasty. I did order a latte which was not great and I did return it. I certainly will return to this restaurant at a later date when I’m in the area.
