The restaurant was decorated for Christmas and it’s was very nice. It had the warm cozy feeling. The food & service was excellent. Our waitress was very attentive but not overwhelming.

Shrimp and grits was Cajun spiced-perfect! Quiche was tasty and more than substantial. During very good jazz at brunch, be prepared to forgo conversation temporarily or amp up your own volume if the group asks to play at your table. Our guests spent an hour + on the road to join us and said the meal was worth every minute of the trip!

Great restaurant and good ambiance. A bit on the pricey side ($50+/plate), but well worth it if you want a finer dining experience or celebrating something without having to deal with downtown Chicago parking. Will definitely go back food, service, adult beverages all on point.

The staff is excellent - lobster bisque is so rich and flavorful. Small problem with the cooking of a pork chop but the management handled it great! Would recommend

My family and I had a great dining experience. The food and the service were outstanding, as always. The manager also came around to make sure everything was to our liking. Parkers' has been a family favorite for many years. They never disappoint.
