We’ve been here multiple times and had an 8:30 reservation, we were sat and given water immediately. We waited about 20 or 30 minutes and despite the wait staff going to the table next to us 3 times in that time, nobody came to even take our drink order. The restaurant was about 30% full with a couple wait staff seemingly standing around and talking. We decided leave at that point. Even the two bar tenders saw us leave after not being helped and nobody said anything to us in an effort to get us to stay or apologize. We ended up at another restaurant nearby and had a fantastic experience with a very attentive staff. Will definitely think twice before making a reservation here again.

I took my friend there for her birthday. I hadn't been there in a few years and I have always loved the Parkside. While the food was delicious, our server Derek was just okay. He made us feel rushed by asking us three times if we knew what we wanted to drink (once the minute we sat down). I told him that we were not in a rush and seeing there were only a few tables that had people at it, we knew we weren't taking up a table for people who were waiting as there were no people waiting. Derek never told us the specials (the only way I knew there were specials being offered is because he recited them to a table that was a few feet away). I had the filet salad and it was done perfectly. The steak was delicious and tender and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. My friend had the pork chop and said it was amazing. When she ordered the pork chop Derek never asked what she wanted for sides even though the menu said it came with two sides. When I brought this to his attention he said it came with brussel sprouts. My friend had to ask for something different as she did not want them. I would have given the restaurant a higher rating if we had better service. But if you are going for the food and don't care about the service, then I highly recommend it.
