    We love Parker’s and have eaten there several times. The atmosphere is of an old country home. It has a separate bar area which is noisy but the main dining area is comfortable. Tables have adequate spacing and you can converse with each other Drinks are strong and fairly priced. Rather than a martini last night my wife had an Arnold Palmer for $4.50. T We had a delicious huge Pear Salad with sliced pears, soft cheese, nuts and we couldn’t finish it eating it together. I generally have the lobster bisque which has best flavor consistency and taste My wife had the Scallops delicious and substantial We took home the remainder I had the whitefish cut thin and served on cedar plank with whipped mashed potatoes.. not just mashed but really whipped with the greenest sautéed spinach. Dessert we shared a caramel budino with chocolate crumbs whipped cream. For $1 more we take the jar and lid home with us The cost was $129.77 and tip. Normal taxes only. No extra fees for inside staff and we tip more as a result Restaurant has Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary desert plates prepared The service staff have a lot of tables but cover them well without appearing rushed. Mariana A was our server. A service and restaurant manager, beverage manager, reservations manager very very busy. Parker’s is well run and for us both elegant and joyous.

    Took my mom and daughter to the holiday tea. It was our first time. We had a lovely experience. Our server, Patty, was very welcoming and personable. She also made sure my daughter felt part of the experience even though she is only 3 years old. The food and tea were fantastic. My favorite was the salmon tea sandwich - it was so good. We plan to make this an annual tradition for the 3 of us.
