    The service was great. Our server Kelley was awesome. She was so nice and thoughtful and knowledgeable. The food was delicious especially the clam chowder and the branzino Mediterranean style was excellent but it only had one filet. Would have been more substantial with both filets.

    Great to have your group in today Don. Glad you enjoyed Kelley.

    I decided to celebrate my birthday here. It was a really good experience. The manager Mike was really nice and welcoming. I liked that he explained all the different events that goes on throughout the week. Walter was our server and he was great. We had the lamb chops the halibut and the seafood gumbo soup. We did not care too much for the soup it needed some seasoning. The lamb chops was excellent. The potatoes were so good. The brownie sundae was one of the best that I’ve ever had. We will definitely be back.

    Second time there and the staff and chef hit it out of the park again. Kaitlyn, Kyle, and Kelley, our server, were all outstanding. Don't know that I've met a more knowledgeable server, and everyone helped with suggestions of their favorites. The birthday card signed by the ENTIRE staff was over the top hospitality.
    Parkers' Restaurant & BarResponded on April 30, 2025
    Thank you Rick for your kind words. We're thrilled to hear our server made such a great impression and that the whole team contributed to a memorable experience. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
