    We've been to Park & Howard several times, always having a wonderful experience. The menu is full of fantastic options... very hard to make a selection. Last night folks had scallops, halibut and the burger. All delicious! Our waiter was charming and added to the great experience

    Every time we go to this restaurant, the service is excellent and the food delicious! The atmosphere is also very nice. We were seated in the blue dining room with the chandelier which appeared to have been recently remodeled.

    Two of us had the grilled halibut and it was great. It’s not always available but worth ordering.

    The food is delicious and the space elegant and relaxing but it is somewhat crowded. This makes the officious waitstaff even more intrusive. They snatch your plates away when you put down your fork for a minute, and lurk around in back of diners looking for things to do. One of my colleagues said that this must be a management issue, that waiters are pressured to look busy or to hurry patrons. I personally will not be back.
