    We ate here two times in one day so that should tell you something! I had grilled artichokes for lunch with a chicken protein added, my auntie had the grilled salmon as did my cousin. When we went back for dinner, we had the exact same things plus salads and a delicious molten chocolate cake. The staff is incredibly accommodating and friendly. The noise level was perfect and in looking at other tables, everything looked delicious.

    I have dined at Park and Howard many times and will continue to frequent this restaurant. For lunch, I had the beet salad with salmon and it was fabulous! I always order this particular item with olive oil and vinegar bc I am not crazy about the raspberry dressing (too sweet for my taste) with which the salad is served, however. The menu selections are fantastic and the food quality has always pleased. It was particularly busy for a Monday lunch so we sat in the 'overflow" room by the window, which I love.

    The white staff is very attentive, and the food comes in the right timing. The weight staff all seem to enjoy their job, which makes it an enjoyable meal. I definitely will come back.

    This is a great neighborhood restaurant with a classy, rustic vibe. Busy even on a Wed night but they got is seated pretty quick since we had a reservation (recommended). The starter salads were fresh and tasty. The short ribs were falling off the bone and delicious. Loved my sweet potato gnocchi and wished I’d gotten the full order. A well crafted martini and a mocktail were the perfect accompaniments. Well be back!
