    We had a lovely dinner at Parker's. It was an incredibly busy night, but the staff was terrific. Our only complaint was my husband's meal was a little rare for the seafood special. However, he managed to suffer through it all! Everything else was delightful!

    I went here by myself for lunch and the staff were absolutely wonderful. My server was pleasant, friendly, and attentive. The hostess was great to talk to. We shared a nice conversation and I learned how kind the owner is and how great he treats his employees. I interacted with a couple other employees as well and they all were so nice. My burger, salad, and wine were delicious as always. I recommend the sparkling almond wine. Thank you for a terrific lunch experience!
