    Amazing food and great service. But this is definitely a “special occasion” restaurant. Almost $200 for the 2 of us- just for 2 dinners and a glass of wine each.

    Talent, was extremely warm and very helpful for a lovely dinner after a 12 hour drive! Food was exceptional with highlights being the Canadian walleye that was out of this world good, the bread was so good, a NY Strip with grilled onions that both rocked! Drinks of white sangria and a gin cocktail, pear Collins, both were delicious. Overall, a terrific dinner with great service. Highly recommend!

    I have always had fantastic experiences at Parker's, and I generally pick this location for special occasions. I love their rotating menu, particularly since they tend to cater to gluten sensitivities without sacrificing flavor or quality. While the current menu was not the best example of what they offer, we had a great meal and I will definitely be back. I will say that some appetizers are more shareable than others, so I recommend checking with your server when ordering - they always know the menu very well. While the appetizers came rather quickly, we found ourselves hungry right away and other restaurants tend to include something small to start. Parker's delivers at their price point, and some bread early on might be a nice touch for them to consider in future menus. We did have to request a dessert menu, which I thought was a little odd. The presentation was fantastic as always, and the flavors of each course was top notch along with the temperature and quality of the food. Pictured is my dessert choice: grilled peach posset with pecan, maple gastrique, and cashew cream - delightful.
