Nice place that definitely deserves a more than positive review. The location is perfect, at the end of the pier on the sea, with outside tables along the walkway. The restaurant is also well done internally, bright, spacious and nice. The bar prepares excellent cocktails while waiting for the table. The food is very good and the staff more than polite and professional. The only flaw for which it does not take the fifth star had run out of tuna and they told us after the order arrived in the kitchen, returning to let us choose more.

Disgusting service. Complete discrimination towards people's social status. This is a place for stuck up rude rich people. Came in during lunch and was placed in the outside corner. When asked if we can move to a table with a better view,(there were plenty of available seats), we recieved attitude and lies about those seating areas were for "dinner only". After continuous appealing, we were finally moved only to be completely ignored by staff. We stood up and left before our drinks even came. Horrible Service. Do not come here if u want to enjoy a meal with family or are not dressed in proper attire.

I ve been coming here for years. I love the garlic cheese bread! Seafood is fresh and the view is absolutely on point. It s funny but the local businesses around there have changed throughout the years Parker s remains a landmark

The location is great and the service was good, especially for how busy they were! The drinks are always not good here. I've ordered several different things so far, and every mixed drink has a bad flavor. I don't really get it. They have a "secret" vegetarian menu - as in, they have a lot of vegetarian options, they just neglect to list it on their menu. I had the veggie pasta and it was amazing! They also have veggie sushi rolls. My boyfriend loved the clam chowder and his salad. The views are great and it's a little calmer than the rest of Shoreline Village.

This place used to be where my husband's family went to celebrate big events -- anniversaries, graduation, etc. We went back in honor of those memories. Unfortunately, the food and the service were not as good as it used to be. Feels more like an overpriced tourist trap now.

Great view from the outside dining area! We found Parker s Lighthouse at dinner time & we very pleased with the location, view and restaurant!

The staff was well trained and the food was delicious! We enjoyed fried calamari, blistered Shishito Peppers, Swordfish California Style, Sea Bass Asian Style.

Food came out hot and well plated! I loved the Shishito Peppers, although I d suggest a bit of soy drizzle and a few dollops of goat cheese. The fish was prepared very well and served piping hot! A wonderful dining experience overall.

Parkers Lighthouse is way overpriced for the portions you pay for. There are far more trendier restaurants with better quality, price, portion size, and ambience. Would not recommend it based on the experience there.

This restaurant is fantastic, I had the opportunity to come with all my family to celebrate a birthday and they treated us super. the dishes are produced with fine ingredients, you have a flavor that takes you to the same sky. the attention of the waiters is excellent. cleanliness and impeccable service. It is a place with a pleasant atmosphere and very easy to find parking. If you are looking for a place to impress someone, this is the ideal restaurant.

Lovely place to eat. We ate outside & all of the food was delicious. My only criticism would be the need for electric awnings instead of moveable umbrellas. The staff worked hard to keep people in the shade that preferred the shade.

The butterfly martini and the calamari were delicious. My platter and my fiance's steak were absolutely not worth the price.

I received a chocolate brownie with cherry sauce and ice cream as a gift. We were out celebrating my birthday - and finally getting the chance to go on a proper date for the first time in months. I was hard-pressed to find the taste of chocolate in a brownie that boasted three strongly chocolate ingredients, but I was sorely tempted to ask what brand of ice cream they use - maybe they'll make me an ice cream sundae if I go back.

The atmosphere and experience were less than I would expect, but Parker's is such a staple of the shoreline that I want to forgive it for a lackluster night. I would come back, but I'd stick with drinks, calamari, and maybe try the sushi or jambalaya.

The service was incredibly prompt and always delivered with a smile. Had my night hinged purely on service it would have been an amazing experience. They might want to be careful when refilling water though, they ended up putting the bill in a giant puddle.



Having valet was a huge heaven send as there was a large festival happening in the area and parking was non-existent anywhere. We had worried that our cost would be high for parking, but if you use the valet service ($10) then using the lot is free so it really evens out.

Random throughts after my experience at Parker's in no particular order:

Bread is served for free at every table but this was not mentioned to us until after we were instructed by our server to order two $8 plates of garlic cheese bread. Dish I had "Lobster Stuffed Shrimp" was dry and shrimp was overcooked. "Rainbow Roll" was decent but very small portions of fish were used to top it, and the roll itself was rolled thin. Certainly not worth $15. Service left much to be expected both at the bar area and in the dining room, as wait times for servers to return regularly topped more than 15 minutes. Entire restaurant was also very dimly lit which may cause issues for those hard of sight. Server out of left field told an uncomfortable story about receiving a bad tip (tacky). Beautiful view but otherwise not worth the price. Good beer selection though.

Great service and beautiful view overlooking Queen Mary. We arrived during happy hour. Happy hour runs from 3 to 6p which includes food and drinks. The food servings are full portions despite what the menu says. Can t beat a great deal.

They have great sushi dishes. I had the Parker dip, it was cold. The Sweet potatoes fry were too skinny and cold for no one being in the restaurant for another 45 minutes. Atmosphere is nice. Great for parties and a quick lunch salad...Prices appropriate for the area - tourist attractions nearby.

The view here is great and the food was pretty good. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I only gave 4 stars because we waited a long time for a table and when we were seated, we saw a dozen empty tables. There were 6 workers at the hostess stand....so hopefully they do a better job of managing their manpower moving forward. But we will definitely go back.

Food was very good, but very much on the Heavy side, even going for a lighter dish like the ravioli left us not being able to finish the heavily creamed dish. I would say every dish and side plate can be shared among 2 or even 3 people, with everyone coming out satisfied.

The heirloom tomatoes and cheese was the standout dish for us.

Service was good, but it felt like a machine in there trying to turn tables out as quickly as possible, why am I standing aside as bussers are grabbing glasses and plates every chance they get?
