    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.

    We had an excellent meal at Parkers. We’ve been coming for many years and were not disappointed tonight. Server was wonderful, she was attentive but didn’t rush us. The appetizers were delicious as were our main entrees. Would love to see grilled calamari as an option.

    Fred Gore and the other manager on duty took good care of my parents and I. The food was great and the service was exceptional. The jazz trio made the night even more special! We will be back.

    Parker's Restaurant in Downers Grove is an amazing place where one can enjoy extremely well prepared dishes, and an ambiance and service above expectations. I believe we are lucky to have such a high quality restaurant in the West Suburbs of Chicago.
