Food was very good (especially the fish and chocolate lava cake specials) and good amounts; service attentive without being intrusive; only problem at Parkside is inadequate parking.

Overall, just consistently very good. Great environment, excellent setting in the country/woods, fast and high quality service and reasonable pricing. The bar and dining rooms are both excellent with good vibes all around. Plenty of space even on a crowded Friday night. Food is always good, portions right. I only gave a less than perfect score this time as dish was not as hot as I would like but really no complaints.

We love this place, sitting outside in the redwoods. Everything is great on the menu, they’ve got plenty of heaters on the outside patio to keep you warm even in the depths of winter. Service is excellent and everyone is very attentive and kind.

Excellent service. All items we ordered were very good. Halibut, fried avocado, soup, Greek salad and custard crem brûlée top notch. Unfortunately the pizza did not meet the mark. The margherita pizza was just some melted cheese on a flat bread. Overall ok.

This is our go-to place. We enjoy the food, especially the onion strings and seared tuna. It is a convenient location for us.

Everything from the Beet salad, to the fresh baked bread and macaroni and cheese side dish were wonderful. For the main course, the scampi and risotto were special.
