The decor takes you back in time and makes the place feel very special . Food was excellent , cooked to request and plenty of it . Tony our waiter was faultless and friendly as was the bus boy , he just smiled all the time . A lovely traditional place , very reasonable for that quality of food

PARK reminds me an old Harvard library with its old books, dark wood and leather sofas and chairs. It could be stuffy and awkward like an old men’s club but with its contemporary paintings and objet d’art, it nicely pulls off warmth and comfort with a welcoming, kitschy feel. There are a number of rooms from a large dining room... More

Though it was pricey, the food was outstanding. The wait staff was perfect, and we disliked nothing about it.

We went to Parker's restaurant twice for the breakfast buffet and once for Dessert. On every occasion we were surprised and impressed by how great the staff were. On one occasion we got there late for the breakfast buffet and they kept it open just for us until they knew we were completed, despite it closing 20 minutes earlier. The... More

We had to eat breakfast twice here because we were in a hurry. My husband ordered the breakfast buffet and I ordered oatmeal which comes with fruit and coffee. Our bill was $38 yet it was quick. First time in Boston. Loved the Omni hotel yet as others have said on reviews, go to the local pubs for good value... More

This was my second time at this restaurant, but my first time for dinner. Prior to this visit I did the brunch and loved it. Making the reservation was easy with Open Table. My husband had the the filet mignon and I had the Salmon. Both dishes were lovely to look at and very well presented by our waiter, who... More

We showed up at Parker's Restaurant around 1:45pm hoping to be seated. The hostess asked if we were looking for a light lunch, something quick maybe? Errrr, okay. The restaurant was mostly empty and clearly ready to shut down at 2 (easy to realize when some of the lights started to dim, the hostess said her goodbyes, and the staff... More

My wife and I ate here early on a Monday evening (5:30 reservation) using a Travel Zoo voucher. Overall, we enjoyed it but probably wouldn't go back. On the positive side, the restaurant is elegant with lots of wood, draperies, and carpeting, all of which contribute to the fact that it's quiet enough for easy conversation. The service was friendly... More

Kind of on the expensive side, but a good deal if you get a package deal with your room. Of course the best part is that it's right in your hotel.

Had a lovely time visiting Parkers as I was intrigued to see where JFK proposed to Jackie and enjoy some Boston Cream Pie in the restaurant it originated from. The food was amazing and I very much enjoyed my Cream Pie, the staff were friendly enough but not really up for my banter and chat. The location was very central.
