Parker's Restaurant

We visited for the first time on a Sunday night and the place was crowded at the bar area but there was still seating in the dining room. The decor could use a little updating, but the service was friendly (thank you Jake). I thoroughly enjoyed the special, a ribeye, which was cooked perfectly with a side dish of mixed vegetables that was equally delicious. My husband had the fish & chips and did not enjoy them as much as other places. As he said, he prefers his fish more battered than breaded. They also come with homemade potato chips and he would have preferred fries. I tasted both and though the chips may have been slightly overdone, and needed a hint more salt, I would consider ordering the fish and chips on my next visit.

Frankly, the food just wasn't that good. I ordered Chicken marsala with a baked potato instead of linguine. The potato was not cooked through, it was very hard. The Brussel sprouts were also crunchy. My chicken marsala did not have one mushroom in it, and the sauce tasted like burnt spaghetti sauce. The waitress was very nice, it was quiet (no loud music) and otherwise ok. (My husband's potato also was not cooked and the spaghetti sauce tasted burnt. )
