    My husband and I met two friends for lunch. The food was wonderful, as always. Two of us had the lunch special which with a trout fillet, sauteed, on a bed of wild rice and quinoa with some vegetables mixed in. Wonderful. This came with soup or salad. I opted to upscale a bit for the lobster bisque---delicious. My other friend had the steak frites, which was good but a little grisly. My husband had the salmon and clam chowder--both were excellent. My friends asked if they could take home the soup (that come with the lunch special). The waitress was very accomodating in making that happen. We had three desserts: raspberry cheesecake, butter cake and the carmel budino (served in a jelly jar). The cakes were excellent. My friend commented that it was hard to get to the bottom of the jelly jar---one first had to eat about 3 inches of whipped cream first; and would have preferred an presentation that allowed her to tast all layers together. The environment was lovely as always. Only other comment was that the automatic water faucets in the bathroom didn't work well and the water was cold.

    Best place to celebrate a birthday! The Dixieland band was not too loud & the food was out-of-this-world. The brunch menu was great except there was no Avocado Toast - which was SO DELICIOUS the last time we ate at Parker's. Highly recommend!

    We really enjoyed our dinner. Andrea was a wonderful server, steering us away from ordering too many desserts for the table. We really appreciated that. The food was delicious, and the ambience very pleasant.
