Everything at Parker's impressed. The service was great from start to finish. The waiter was very knowledgeable on oysters and his recommendation was spot on. I enjoyed the fish special which was a Mediterranean Sea Bass (forget the actual name). Every aspect of it was perfection. One member of our party had the whitefish and he was from Upper Michigan and stated he's never had better whitefish in his life. He's a whitefish connoisseur btw. Another person ordered...

Food quality at their prices... value has gone way down. Salad was more cheese squints then beets and the bisque was more gazpacho in temp and I had to ask why a $17 soup didn't have the bread and crackers basket I remembered from work lunches.

This is a really high end restaurant.

We had boullabaisse, which was tasty and grilled salmon from the Faroe Islands. Really tasty.

Even though we didnt order drinks or select the most expensive items on the menu, our server made us feel at home and we had a great time.

Thank you for the lovely dining experience, we will be coming back soon!
