Made reservations for my husbands 80th Birthday, which we mentions upon making the reservations. We arrived, the hostess said table is ready, stated 80th. birthday, she said someone hit the wrong key 89. The 4 of us were seated, and there was a used wine glass on our table. Ordered 4 cocktails from the bar. Bread brought to the table, I asked once again for the glass to be removed, the man removed it. We ordered appetizers, the 4th person wanted shrimp cocktail, he did not hear her. Our appetizers arrived first, no drinks. We were half was through our appetizers when the drinks arrived. We ordered soup, shrimp lobster bisque, it was okay. We placed orders for the entrees. My husband ordered...
We unknowingly dined out on Sweetest Day and the restaurant was packed! Fortunately we had reservations and we seated on time. While masks were required indoors this policy is loosely followed which could be seen immediately at the host stand.....the hostess opted for a mess mask. Management, do better to ensure the safety of your staff and guests!! We received water after bar drinks, very slow service. I ordered the 18oz bonein ribeye med-rare......big mistake! The steak came out medium at best and was extremely dry and tough. I was brought another ribeye after my husband had finished eating that seemed to have been microwaved or sat under the heat lamp for far too long as the steak itself...
Wonderful evening at Parkers on the patio! Yes, I know they were not responsible for the weather, but it was a perfect night with wine and the best food! Let's start with dessert! The key lime pie was decadent and delicious. The plate was decorated with fruit and the presentation was stunning! I had the absolute best piece of fish on a cedar plank with crispy edges that were pure heaven. The patio was cozy and private since our chairs were miles away from everyone! We watched everything being cleaned spic and spam as people left. Even the door knobs were constantly cleaned!
It was just two of us lovely dinner. The Dining Room Manager of the restaurant Parker’s Mr. Michael Vivirito was a wonderful host. We were welcomed warmly and he really did go out of his way to accommodate our requirements. The food was extremely delicious and well presented. The overall service was excellent. Being loyal to this place for so many years, still we want to bring to the owner’s and management’s attention that Mr. Mr. Michael Vivirito is asset to the company. We highly recommend restaurant Parker’s to other people. Rusmira and Dimitre Book a table now
I went to this restaurant a week or two ago. My wife and I came in after a cancelation at another place. We came in and were greeted to a wonderful scenery and were shortly seated. Our waiter Tom, was an outstanding gentleman and could not do enough for us. My wife was unsure of what she wanted, and Tom recommended the seared scallops, I myself got the lobster bisque. The food came within an acceptable time and was perfect. My wife enjoyed it so much and we will definitely be returning whenever we come to the area.
Belatedly...brought my wife in the Monday after Mother's Day for lunch. Sarah was at the door, Alexandra was our waitress, the MOD was GM Fred Gore. Tried to post this on Yelp but couldn't find it when i checked later. I've come in many times over the years, solo or with mom or my wife. never had bad service or a dissapointing meal. that day was no different. My wife had sea bass i has sword. Both perfectly med rare with outstanding sides. Service was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable, spot on. thanks all.
We've been going here for years and have always had good service and great food. All of the food is very good and we like the crab cakes there. Service is always helpful and enjoy the live entertainment in the bar. Great bar area and a nice place to have a family get together in one of their party rooms. Oh yeah the lobster rolls are crazy good. Nice ambiance. Support your local restaurants during this pandemic. You will want to make reservations.
We tried the Sunday jazz brunch. Great drinks, food, service, music! Jazz trio came in the bar for a few songs. Trumpet player also sang and was terrific. Look forward to returning. Book a table now
Lovely restaurant! Love the decor and the atmosphere fireplace with comfortable seating. Wonderful drink and wine menu. Very friendly service.
This had been a long time favorite. Service on a Monday evening was laughably poor. Seafood was average at best. Moving on to anything better!
