We had a party of 3 for dinner. Crabcakes and Artichokes for appetizers. The Crabcakes were crispy and tasty, Artichokes were average. Entrees were Lamb Chops, Lobster Raviolo and Grilled Halibut. Lamb Chops were excellent, Lobster Ravioli didn’t have much Lobster flavor and Ravioli pasta was too thick. Grilled Halibut was tasty but overcooked. The dessert was really good, Toffee Bread Pudding, Lava Cake and Gluten Free Banana Cake. Overall we enjoyed our dinner and would go back to try other entrees.

Always a pleasure dining at this restaurant, although I would prefer less goat cheese, feta cheese and spicy options. The restaurant is always accommodating to either leave out or put on the side without making a fuss. Also a nice touch was plating our salad on two separate plates without asking when they found we were splitting the salad. And without an extra charge! Definitely one of our favorite places to dine!

Never disappointed with our dining experience at Park and Howard. The food is excellent. The service is attentive. The ambience is attractive and the sound level is low so conversations are easy to hear.
