Top sirloin was good and cooked as requested. However the steaks and accompaniment came out so fast that we were nowhere close to completing our cocktail and entree. When we stated this fact to the person presenting us our meal, we were offered an opportunity to have him return the dish (cooked steak and sides) to a warming oven! Obviously, presented these options, we accepted our steaks and continued on with our meal (however, now we went on by combining the remainder of our cocktail, with the remainder of our entree along with the quickly “getting cold” hunk of meat at the same time! Sort of al la carte! Dining experience! Ironically, the sommeliers request for us to order a bottle or glass of wine shortly after delivering the steak to as (to accompany or now melange dining experience) was refused. Also, we wanted to avoid the possibility of receiving our wine, to be poured and be presented immediately after with an opportunity to order and receive our coffee/apparetif and our dessert, 5 minutes later. Somone at the Keg needs to revisit the basic steakhouse traditions - your steak should only be fired within “a reasonable time “ after someone on the team has first checked in with the customer (at the time of order or within a reasonable time thereafter) that “they” want the meal (aka: steak) fired as soon as the order arrives in the kitchen or, at or the time the customer has completed their entrees and cocktails Other than that, the food was great! Some could argue in reply to my comments above that it was “my” responsibility to guide and direct Kegs staff on my options and choices. In other words, that the onus was on me to notify and alert their staff on my “special” needs? Rest assured that I did not punish my server. Not at all for this! He was tipped generously for serving a party of 2 on 11/24/2024! This nice young man was extremely courteous, personable and engaging! Who am I to teach him the traditions of a high end steakhouse!

An exceptional evening at Parcheggio! We had a fantastic time catching up with friends and were especially impressed by the tender steak—it was absolutely outstanding. The quality of both the food and service left us amazed. Having dined at many O&B restaurants, this experience truly stood out as a gem - a relaxed - yet elevated experience you expect from O&B!

Cesar salad, prime ribs. glass of wine and cappuccino

All the food was delish!! The service was a bit slow and odd (only taking drink orders for half the table and then having to be flagged down to take the rest) and took ages even coming to us to order, in general. We ended up canceling the last drink order because it took so long to arrive (just a glass of wine, for reference. Nothing complicated).

Eggplant parmesan was delicious Friendly staff Quality very good
