    The food was amazing as always. Our server (I can't remember his name) was wonderful. He was knowledge about the menu, great personality and never left us waiting for anything. I brought someone who'd never been there before and they will definitely be a repeat customer.

    We enjoyed our dining experience at ParkShore. We started with a drink at the bar which was great. Then to our table, where Reese was our server. We had great food and service. This restaurant has been here for 18 years so definitely a reliable choice - it was busy, so highly recommend a reservation. You could tell it was a local favorite. Alaskan King Crab legs and Beef Wellington were awesome!

    Excellent, food and service. Jeremy was great, and made sure everything was perfect. He is a fantastic advantage with all his restaurant experience to now be at Juno and the Peacock. Our server Jeff was attentive, friendly and made excellent recommendations. We loved our appetizers, crab cake, (no fillers) Monica’s corn bread with honey butter. Jeremy was right, delicious. We both enjoyed grouper for our main dish. Came out pipping hot, loved it. Enough that we had a doggie bag.. key lime pie, yummy. The only negative is that they are really in need of reducing the noise level, and they are fully aware of that and working on it. Thank you for an excellent experience. Highly recommend this restaurant. So good, we bought gift cards for holiday gifts!!
