Went out to dinner with friends and we all had a fantastic time ! Enjoyed great atmosphere, service and food. Our server Sara was conscientious and affable and chef Clemente was only too happy to prepare us a special order of wings ! Highly recommend Parker eatery and bar.

Recently tried this place. Food was average to poor; several dishes were greasy and bland…I give 1 star particularly because a waitress (not serving us), was flinging her long hair around like she was in a Pantene commercial, all while serving a large group. I may be wrong, but I think that’s a health code violation—if not, it should be. Never going back because that indicates to me management is not concerned enough about cleanliness and appearances at front of house. I doubt they’re any more stringent in the kitchen where no one is watching. Our waiter, Jackson, did a good job and maintained his composure despite being over worked in an obviously short-staffed situation. Kudos to him!

Just had a dinner at Parker with friends. The food was delicious. The service was amazing thanks to Bryan who was very kind and was constantly checking if we needed anything! I wish more waiters were like Bryan.

Loud and cold atmosphere. Food, drink and service were good not great

Awesome place. We stopped on the way back from a UConn drop off, right off 15, had lunch. The club and chicken sandwich were excellent. Really good fries, the thin ones. Looks like a great place to hang out, not expensive, lunch was about $30 plus tip. We sat at the bar, super friendly service, highly recommend for lunch, dinner or drinks.

Food and service were excellent. A bit noisy.

Food is great. Staff is very polite

I wasn't impressed at all with the food. The chili from the Macho Nacho was very greasy. Fries were good. I ordered meals for 3 and none of us felt we had a great meal. The only thing of quality was the curbside service. He was very polite.

Wow!!!! What a shock. I was a regular at Parker’s’ original and new location since they opened. I moved out of state a year ago an came home for a visit so I had to go for dinner. The manager was working the bar with what seemed to be a new bartender and he was so incredibly rude. I ordered the prime rib but he forgot to ask me how I wanted it cooked - no big deal - and he came back to ask. I said - oh.. I forgot to ask, can I get fries instead of mashed - his reply - “I asked you how you wanted the steak cooked!!!” I was floored at his rude tone but I ignored it. I said I just want to make sure - I ordered the prime rib which he rudely replied “prime rib is steak!!!! - again, how do you want it cooked” I said medium but it came raw. I then asked to try a glass of one of their wines to which the same manager said I don’t have an open bottle so I can’t let you try it. Nice!! I’ve never been to a bar or restaurant where they won’t open a bottle to let you try it (and it’s sold by the glass). He and the bar tender completely ignored the people sitting at the bar, never asking anyone (I watched to make sure it wasn’t just me) how things were, if they needed anything else etc. SO SO SO disappointing - I will never go back.

Always relaxing with good upper level bar food.
