Another great meal at Parkside Grille. As always, seared tuna is both my favorite and the best anywhere.

Ambiance & food is great. The only issue was very slow service, in spite of plenty of staff. Server missed on one drink and one meal that were ordered and thus delivered late. Previously, service was great. not sure what the issue was given the level of staffing, so hoping it was a one off night. The restaurant was not full on this weeknight.

Amazing dinner. Service, food and table outside were perfect. This restaurant never disappoints. My wife made it a point to tell the hostess how impressed we were with our overall experience as we left.

Customers for years, we love this place, most especially its incredible redwood trees. Cuisine has been inventive and very good. Yesterday, the service was below par: too slow, and at the same time, when it happened, rushed ie inattentive. You know they are having trouble with even the water doesn't arrive, and has to be 'ordered' twice. The mains took about 20 mins. In addition, the NY prime steak, the most expensive item on their menu, was tasty, but a bit tough - no 'melt-in-your-mouth' here. On the other hand, the artichoke soup was excellent. Hoping they do better next time.
