Restaurants near Gardner Jackson Park

Place was fantastic. Wait staff was also fantastic and so was the food

The service was absolutely amazing as always. My wife had rotissarie which was delicious and always is. I tried the seafood special, this is where this disappointment came. The baked stuff shrimp were good, but there was no drawn butter and when requested was unable to get any??? The risotto had absolutely no taste to it at all, very bland and very underwhelming. Lastly, it was to be topped with a U4 scallop, the scallop was definitely not a U4 but it was cooked perfectly. The drinks were very good, always consistent at Parkside. This is the first time I have ever had a disappointing meal in all the years we have been going there. Lastly, the table was way to small to enjoy even an appetizer but that’s the parkside in a Friday night. The amazing service, made this visits shortcomings one that I will surely let slide.

We had an amazing night! Not our first visit and will not be our last. Everything, including our waiter Johnny, was perfect!

Food was amazing, waitress was attentive, music was too loud but overall great time! Get the lollipop lamb chops!!

Christmas Eve dinner. Festive, lively atmosphere without being too loud for easy conversation. Service was excellent, beginning with the accommodation of a late addition guest. Staff was there for every need and question yet never made us feel rushed—even though our meal went past closing. I expected great food and was not disappointed. Oysters were particularly good and French-pressed coffee always adds a great finishing touch. My teenagers had a great time and have a new appreciation for real food. Highly recommend.
