Food was delish. Only issue was bones in my halibut. Beverage Service & table busing slow at times. Had to ask a couple of times for refills. One refill was poured into the wrong glass so soda and ice tea got mixed up but it was corrected. Avocado tempura appetizer was amazing. Desserts were delicious also crème brûlée and chocolate decadent cake. Hubby filet perfect, pizza large. Will definitely go back.
Parkside Grille is the best restaurant in the Bay Area. You can't go wrong with the halibut, the ribs or the burger! Their soups are consistently good and the artichoke is my favorite. The wait staff never rushes you and always considers special requests. Dining on the outside patio is always great in good weather. Hope, the hostess, is gracious and friendly. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful restaurant in our neighborhood.
Fantastic Anniversary Dinner for us. The service and food were amazing. Staff so welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere was peaceful. We will be back again.
