    Parker's Restaurant in Downers Grove is an amazing place where one can enjoy extremely well prepared dishes, and an ambiance and service above expectations. I believe we are lucky to have such a high quality restaurant in the West Suburbs of Chicago.

    There is a nice variation of lunch/dinner items to choose from. Their Lobster Bisque is delicious! Very accommodating to our party of 8-10.

    Sat in the bar and ordered a medium filet which was overcooked. Good news is that the service was great and we received a free glass of wine and a free dessert. My only disappointment was of course the fact that I usually get a good meal there..but not this time.

    We were a group of seven. They were very accommodating with giving us separate checks. Our table was very nice and service was exceptional. I think most of the food was good. Two of us got the Sunday prime rib and it was somewhat overcooked and dry. Nothing special about it so that was a bit disappointing. We did not send it back. In all other respects, it was a great experience. I would just not order that dish in the future.

    We are happy to hear Mariana helped make your dinning experience exceptional! We look forward to your next visit!
