    Food and Service was almost perfect (4.8 out of 5). Dinning room felt over crowded, tables were so close felt like we were dining with two other couples at times.

    Valentine's Day was well spent here. This is one of our favorite places to dine. Having made a reservation, we were seated immediately despite the crowd for the holiday. This was our first time with Rihanna, who was on her way to earning 40,000 steps with the many times she visited our table and her other guests. Despite the hectic demands placed upon her, she paid attention to and spent time discussing options with us. We enjoyed her service very much. The food was outstanding, as always; however, the braised beef short rib with the parsnip puree was to die for. ( A toothless person could have gummed it. ) Of course, we had to have the brussel sprouts as an appetizer, along with the clam chowder and vegetable beef soup. Their soups are always amazing! I had the pear salad, which is a favorite of mine, with a side of colossal shrimp. Ended dinner with butter pecan and expresso gelato. The only complaint we had was having the slow drive back as it snowed, but it was definitely worth the trip. You can't go wrong dining at Parker's. You should check out their events and Sunday brunches, too.

    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.

    The menu drew us in here because it has a little bit for everyone. Oysters fresh and entrees are big portions. Walter truly enhanced the experience, made us felt at home, made great recommendations, and made us feel like we were the only ones in there. Looking forward to coming back !
