    Food at Parkside Grill is ALWAYS OUTSTANDING! For me, the Rare Tuna is the best I have EVER had and the Salmon with Citrus sauce is also outstanding. Service was good, but I REALLY HATE os when the check arrives BEFORE we are finished. REALLY BAD practice that does NOT HAPPEN at OUTSTANDING restaurants.
