The Scene – If "bistro bar" conjures up images of Gauloise-smoking toughs, berets and Edith Piaf, Parker's will be a revelation. Chef Parker Bosley is a one-man wrecking crew of Cleveland dining expectations; well-dressed swells have journeyed to this Ohio City hideaway for years to eat something to write their expense accounts about. – – The Menu – It's not easy to define the French-trained Bosley's style of American cuisine. He'd call it a combination of fresh ingredients and common sense; others might favor "nouvelle obsessive." An early and vocal advocate of…

AMAZING!!
by ARF101202
We went on a Wednesday evening. We had the place all to ourselves. Everyone was very inviting and attentive. We already looked at the menu online and decided on their 3 course Prix Fix menu. my husband had the mussels, quail, and apple pear cobbler. I had the butternut squash soup, sweet potato ravioli, and strawberry banana panna cotta. The entire meal was fantastic! My sweet potato ravioli was the best part! One of the tastiest things I have ever eaten! I would recommend this to anyone!
- Pros: Trendy, romantic, quiet
- Cons: none!

One Of The Best In The Country
by suec456
We just returned from a weekend trip to Cleveland along with another couple and we dined here Saturday night. I cannot express strongly enough how impressed we all were with the food and service here. We make it a point to visit quality restaurants whenever we dine out; and not just for the hype, but for the FOOD. That's what it is all about after all. Well, the food AND the service at Parker's was exemplary!
If you live in Cleveland or are visiting there, this charming little spot is not to be missed. We dressed up a bit but people were dining in jeans and khaki's and were not out of place at all. I will definitely visit next time I am in town. You should do the same.
- Pros: quiet, charming, good wine list

Excellent
by maluhia
Actually, the food here is amazing. The dishes sound straightforward enough, but the beauty is in the execution. Who knew celery, of all things, could be so full of flavor? I ordered short ribs, and every part of it was delicious. The prices are quite reasonable for the quality of the food. Of all the restaurants in Cleveland I have been to so far, Parker's is my favorite.

You'll never know precisely what will make the dessert menu, but chances are the freshest berries available will turn up in souffles and custards. Skip the appetizers and save room for the sweet stuff.
