Best Restaurants with a Wood Oven in Clarendon Hills

We love Parker’s and have eaten there several times. The atmosphere is of an old country home. It has a separate bar area which is noisy but the main dining area is comfortable. Tables have adequate spacing and you can converse with each other Drinks are strong and fairly priced. Rather than a martini last night my wife had an Arnold Palmer for $4.50. T We had a delicious huge Pear Salad with sliced pears, soft cheese, nuts and we couldn’t finish it eating it together. I generally have the lobster bisque which has best flavor consistency and taste My wife had the Scallops delicious and substantial We took home the remainder I had the whitefish cut thin and served on cedar plank with whipped mashed potatoes.. not just mashed but really whipped with the greenest sautéed spinach. Dessert we shared a caramel budino with chocolate crumbs whipped cream. For $1 more we take the jar and lid home with us The cost was $129.77 and tip. Normal taxes only. No extra fees for inside staff and we tip more as a result Restaurant has Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary desert plates prepared The service staff have a lot of tables but cover them well without appearing rushed. Mariana A was our server. A service and restaurant manager, beverage manager, reservations manager very very busy. Parker’s is well run and for us both elegant and joyous.

Food was excellent and the service was great. We made reservations for Saturday night and were seated immediately when arriving. We ate every bite of our food and our waiter was friendly.

The food and service was excellent as always! The squash ricotta pasta was very good as well as the white fish and beautiful and tasty appetizer prosciutto and melon.

We had grandparents, kids and grandkids! Our waitress, Tina was awesome! She seemed to know just when we needed her and when we were just fine on our own 🥰 Everyone was very happy with their food choices too but it really was a wonderful whole experience!
