Reviews
"Had a solid night of food & drinks with awesome people. This spot elevated our experience and can’t wait to go back again. I’ve been here before and had their steaks in the past, but for today I had their Branzino, Caesar salad, bacon wrapped scallop, garlic cheese bread, and two other desserts that I forgot the name of along with a small coffee. The Branzino was definitely super delicious, but had little tiny bones so be aware. The garlic cheese bread is addicting and the bacon wrapped scallops were excellent. The salad was a great starter and the coffee with deserts were phenomenal! Overall the dining experience was amazing and my group of 10+ ate more family style and forgot some of the other dishes I had. I highly recommend this spot and just be aware that parking is limited. Valet is available also."
"Excellent dining experience anytime we go to Parkway Grill! Thank you Eddie for being a part of our wonderful night husband's 71st birthday!!! Your service incredibly AWESOME!!! The food was exquisitely delicious Mary's chicken with figs, mashed potatoes with or without goat cheese exceedingly tasty and the lava cake dessert was decadent!!!"
"Good food. Great service. The ambiance is much of an traditional upscale steakhouse type vibe. Parking is not the easiest so we valet. Enjoyed their braised rib, scallop, and 1/2 chicken. Try the napoleon creme brûlée. The pastry gives it the crunchiness in place of caramel. We really enjoyed it."
"Food was so so. Desserts were very good. Service was good but missed the mark due to some items being forgotten or being delayed. We were a huge group. This place is convenient to host big groups and that’s the only good part."
"The Parkway Grill delivers a cozy atmosphere and incredible dining. I enjoyed a beautifully presented, flavorful tuna tartare and fresh oysters for starters. Both dishes were light and refreshing, although the oysters did have a bit of grit to them. For my entrée I had the second best Chilean seabass I've ever had. This was the first time I've ever been asked how I'd like my fish cooked. I ordered it medium rare, same as I order my steak. This fish was exquisite. It had a lovely sear on the outside that was packed with flavor and the inside was glistening and moist. Excellent fish! My companion had the lamb and it was divine. It was cooked perfectly with great seasoning. I enjoyed the lamb just as much as fish. I was very impressed with the quality of our entrées. I cannot wait to come back and try other dishes!"
