    Service was good, food was good, never waited for anything other than water glass refill. The only issue was how warm it was in the restaurant. We didn't linger because it was so warm.

    The Food, Atmosphere & Service were exceptional at Parker’s. My wife & I had Dinner with another couple, and we had a fantastic time. Kelle was our server and she was phenomenal. She helped me have a perfect meal, as I can be quite particular of what I like, and how I like my meal. Kelle was so helpful & so attentive. Her recommendations were perfect. Her choices of wine were just right and not very expensive. Her upbeat & pleasant manner enhanced our Evening. She was so knowledgeable, as well as informative on a Great Brunch they also have at Parker’s on the Weekend. All four of us will definitely be back to Parker’s.

    Gem of a restaurant. Food & service were superb & the Jazz band at the Sunday brunch was the icing on the cake. It’s a taste of New Orleans right in our suburbs. We especially liked the ravioli that had the thinnest of pasta shells & the side of roasted Brussels. My husband said his crab & asparagus omelette was delicious

    We were able to get seated in the bar area and enjoy the live music while we ate a wonderful meal (crispy Brussels sprouts, perfectly cooked filet, and scrumptious risotto). Service was excellent as well.
