| - I had dinner with a friend at Parker's Grille & Tavern on 2-4-17. We had reservations for 6:30pm, and although the place was almost completely full when we arrived, we did not have to wait. Our server was very good. A basket of napped, warm, whole grain bread and butter was brought to our table and then our order was taken. My friend ordered the Friday and Saturday night special, a 12 oz. prime rib dinner with a grilled ceasar salad, smashed redskins and dessert--at $29.99. I ordered the 18 oz. ribeye steak w/asparagus at $35.00 and a side of smashed cauliflower ($5.00 extra). Cream and butter are added to pureed cauliflower, with a dash of salt and pepper--extremely luscious and satisfying. The prime rib was cooked perfectly, expertly seasoned sans garlic--a most welcome departure. My steak was prepared exactly as I ordered it, and it, too, was exceptionally flavorful and juicy. The place has extremely high, industrial looking ceilings and the longest bar I've ever seen. My friend took his dessert to go. Dessert was a lovely slice of cheesecake with a red berry drizzle and a piped dollop of whipped cream. There is plenty on the menu that is less expensive than what we ordered. The cheeseburgers looked sumptuous. The sandwiches and burgers range in price from $10 to $13 and all appear to come with French fries. They have a very nice looking happy hour menu w/all items priced at $5.00 (duck wings, walleye sliders and several other more traditional items.)
