    I have been here many times. Probably first about 20 years ago. Had the catfish and oysters and my date had the salmon with grilled vegetables. She really liked the iced tea. But what made the day was the server. His name is Shane. I went to Parkway Grill on March 21, 2018 at 12:30 for lunch. Thank you Shane.

    A family favorite for special occasions, a birthday this time. The room is always beautiful, somebody's playing a piano, the martini is pretty perfect, and the food is always good. Pricey (for us) but absolutely reliable.
