I came here for a small birthday dinner with my family and although I enjoyed the experience, I'm not sure it was worth the price of the meal. We ordered the lobster taquitos (by recommendation of yelp users), calamari, fish and chips and the 16oz. bone-in rib-eye cooked medium rare. This was definitely enough for the 3 of us. Criticisms: My mother pointed out that the appetizer plates were warm. I originally suggested that perhaps they warm their plates but each plate was unevenly warm so she suggested because they also came out so quickly, that they keep their appetizers under a heat lamp. I was reluctant to believe her until I took a bite of the calamari. The batter was fine and the sauce was actually very good BUT the texture of the calamari itself was rubbery and didn't taste fresh. At the very least, it was overcooked but because the outer texture was golden, I think my mother was right and it became that way under a heat lamp. The same likely happened with the lobster taquitos because the guacamole it was served with was slightly warm all the way through. Overall, the appetizers were somewhat decent but not for the price of $13 for calamari and $15 for the taquitos (3 pcs) Praises: I ordered the 16oz ribeye (medium rare) and it was very well seasoned. Very tender, good cut of meat with great marbling. It was cooked a little closer to medium-well but I didn't mind it much. It was a HUGE cut of meat and although it was a bit pricy ($49 I believe) it was much more worth it than what would've been my second choice, a 7oz filet. The sides - chimchurri potatoes and asparagus - were just "eh". I didn't get to try the fish and chips but they did come with 3 large pieces and coleslaw. My brother seemed to enjoy it but didn't finish his last piece. The restaurant was beautiful, with a nice view over the water and it was a nice ambiance. However, because of the slightly below average performance of food considering this was a pricy dinner, I expected a better quality experience and I suspect I could've gone elsewhere to get the same kind of dinner of better quality for a similar price. It didn't live up to the expectations. Two stars. read more

Everyone in the area knows this place, and has probably glanced over and wondered what goes on in this little restaurant at the edge of shoreline village. Well it does amazing for special occasions, great drink menu and such a great selection of appetizers and main course seafood. Our clean open view of the queen mary after dark from across the harbor was amazing. The seaside open patio was such a refreshing way to enjoy a romantic meal for 2. Of course this can apply to bigger groups, but the ambiance just screams table for 2. The food was all neatly prepared and presented, I was left extremely impressed with everything about Parkers. read more

I'm bummed about the change of Happy Hour menu. I don't like shellfish but my friends and family do so when they took the chicken and salmon skewers off the menu, all that is left that has protein are the buffalo wings and sliders. Now, I'm into spice but these are WAYYY spicy and just too messy to eat. The sliders are just, well, okay. With the skewers, we could drink and drink, nibble and drink a bit more while not getting all greasy. We spent a fair amount of cash and it all worked out. I'm sure management has their reason for making it super seafood oriented (hell, it's a seafood restaurant, I get that), but I don't feel included anymore for Happy Hour. Some vegetarian items for Happy Hour would be awesome too besides the cheese bread. Please bring back some items that are not shellfish and easier to eat than a burger/slider. read more

I came here yesterday for dinner with my family and am overall quite disappointed. I had ordered the Sushi Platter - when it arrived there was a long black curly hair sitting on top of my albacore! I tried to be polite and not be one of those disgruntled guests and politely informed my waitress of this. She was apologetic and said they would make me a whole new platter and have the manager deliver it. After about 10minutes of waiting my new dinner had arrived - the manager was polite, said she was sorry and that was about it. I found it to be the absolute bare minimum of what they could have done to make this a better dining experience for us. My family was disgusted by the lack of attention to our food, and the way it was handled almost made it seem as though this is common for them? Like this was no big deal? They did not offer us anything, in fact I still ended up paying full price for my (overpriced) sushi that was somewhat hard to stomach after what had just happened. Very disappointing, we will not be back. read more

We had a great experience and enjoyed the lovely view for lunch on Sunday 3pm.The last time we where here was last year Valentine and this year the place was booked even with a month ahead! Sunday we sat at bar area service was excellent. The atmosphere was welcoming and vivid. The surface was clean and neat. We oder for appetizer calamari $13 which was (ok)fresh but flavorless, First entree we oder the Sea food sampler $30 that had scallop shrimp mushroom and red bell pepper kabob type with squash it was bland. Second entree was the sword fish with smash potato and veggies which was good and the fish was cook right for about $35. To drink mermosa $7. For desert we had the apple cobbler with a scoop of ice cream on top which was good but not great. *Good for kids and groups* My other complaint is the we ask the hostess for a front view table but she did not accommodate us and didn't seem to hear our request. read more

This place has a really great happy hour (and I don't think anyone knows about it)! So let me give you the scoop... Upon arriving to Parker's Lighthouse we'd realized they are undergoing extensive renovations.... looks pretty ugly from the outside, but judging from their renderings, when it's done it's going to look great! We walked in and were greeted by a friendly hostess and let her know we were going to the bar. Once in the bar we picked a tall table, right on the window with a great view (you can't see any of the exterior renovations from the inside)! Our server was Brianna and she was very friendly, which is always nice. We checked out their happy hour menu and it was pretty good so we went for it. We ordered a mango martini (totally yummy, a must have!) and a peach saketini ($5 each), lobster taquitos- YUM!! ($3.50) and some really yummy sushi (1/2 price!!). For the money and the view... we loved it! Though it was not busy at all, the atmosphere was good and the food/drinks were excellent. Shoreline Village charges for parking, but all of the stores/restaurants validate. Parker's validates for 2 hours and all you'll pay is $1.00. If you're looking for a romantic, sunset view that wont break you financially, check out happy hour at Parker's Lighthouse M-F from 3pm-7pm. You won't be disappointed! read more

Following a disastrous attempt at ordering brunch at another location - the man and I meandered over to Parker's Lighthouse. Now, I know we just left a very small scale, run-o-the-mill, mediocre place - but this was like walking into some kind of strange palace where many people greet you and actually ask how you're doing! We were seated on the patio and noticed they were dog friendly (note to self) as we eyed two dogs kicking it with their owners. We made our way to the table and each got a cocktail. Kinda pricey, but the service was already so refreshing and worth it. After checking out the menu, we decided to go with the 1/2 sandwich and soup. I had the Manhattan Clam chowder and he got the gumbo. I really did think both were very flavorful and had completely different profiles (as they should...but, I wasn't expecting it). Our sammy was perfect - although, it's a little hard to screw up turkey, cheese and avocado on wheat bread. I remember sitting there and watching the boats and stuff and mentioning to my husband that this would be a nice place to bring friends and family when they visit. ' I read a lot of the other reviews before posting this, and was kinda surprised with the negative food write ups. Oh well, ours was good and the stupendous service made it possibly taste better than it was...you know, like MSG? Go here! read more

This review is for the FOOD. I ordered a Slider's Trio: Kobe beef, Salmon, and Ahi Tuna. They were really good, but the most exciting part of the meal were the delicious french friiiiies!!!!!!!!!! AND..to my surprise, the ranch sauce was the most delicious ever. It reminds me of this one from D&B that I USED to like, but they stopped making their own sauce and started using regular tangy ranch which I don't particularly like. This ranch was light, and fresh tasting... not much tang, which is what I like. I wanna go back again for the fries. :) ALSO, the location is great. The surrounding buildings and quaint shops are so cute, as well as the amazing view of the ocean. Very close to the Queen Mary and the Long Beach Convention center. I like! read more

The general consensus about Parker's Lighthouse is that it has a great view and decent food, but there are plenty of places out there that offer a tastier menu. I find the dinner entrees to be yummy in a very traditional way. I don't come here expecting to be served a dish that will blow my mind, but I know I can order anything from the menu and go home happy. The best part is the view. It's amazing. On my last visit, I had a glass of the Scarlotta pinot grigio (very light and tasty), a cup of corn chowder (better than the corn chowder at Mimi's), and grilled Salmon. My fish was perfectly cooked and came with mashed potatoes, which honestly could have used a little more seasoning. For the veggie, I got asparagus. It was crispy cooked, just the way I like it. Midway through our meal, I ran my finger across the windowsill by our table and noticed that it was as clean as a whistle. The service from our waitress was impeccable. Our plates were cleared promptly, our drinks were refilled often, and there was no annoying hovering going on. Parker's is a nice date place when you want to go out and feel like a cute old married couple. read more

I enjoy taking clients here for a drink at the bar at the top of the lighthouse. It's set up with 360 degree views of Long Beach harbor and the city. Drinks are a little expensive, but the place is never crowded, it's quiet, and the premium you pay for the view isn't bad. They have fresh seafood appetizers (clams, oysters) in the bar as well. You can watch the ball games or just relax in your corner taking in the view. The restaurant itself is very good as well, with a view of the bay and well-prepared seafood dishes. No one will question your good taste if you take them here. read more

Not a fan of this place. Food was average and not to mention, overpriced as well! YOu can find everything here at Red Lobster or BJ's.. I wouldn't go back. read more

I am not able to afford to eat in a place like this normally. So of course, a buddy and I went here during the happy hour which exists between 3:00pm and 7:00pm. It was quite a deal. I would like to say that this place would not be worth going to if it weren't happy hour. Rolls of sushi are 2-5 bucks and are big with 8 pieces each. I got the spicy salmon and tuna rolls for 3 dollars a pop plus a side of miso soup and sunomono for a dollar a pop. The $4.00 large cold sake was enough to get me buzz. Overall I had a great experience. At happy hour there is nobody there at all which means service was amazing. Whenever I was done with a dish or done with a drink I was approached by a server and asked if there was anything else I wanted. The sushi was great, packed with raw fish and light on the rice. Everything I ever wanted in an afternoon meal. I only wished during happy hour they would allow you to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful view they offer of the channel and Queen Marry. Instead we sat at the bar and enjoyed ourselves some ESPN :D Oh well...great experience either way. read more

Pretty disappointing.... Nothing special in this place. Just d lighthouse itself. They do have a nice patio/ outside dining place. You can feel the discrimanation in this place eventhough its in long beach!!! Wow.... The server who helped us is like ignoring our table all the time but the next table beside us where well serve. They even complain about the order they got, something about old or not cooked. The food takes forever to be served!!! Even an ice cream for the kids takes 10-15mins to get! TIP for this place, Dress like a MILLIONAIRE, ballout, show ur blingblings so that they will serve you well! read more

Had a really good lunch today. The oysters were amazing! And the steamed clams are a must! We also got the sushi king crab roll. It was so good we got two of them. However we had some cartilage in the first roll so we had to be careful while eating. Overall it was a great lunch! Will come back for sure! I will say the only down side is our server was horrible! After we ordered our appetizers she was super eager to take the menus. She rarely came to fill our drinks and she rarely came to see if we were enjoying the food or needed anything. I had to wave her down a few times. read more

This place is Infested with Roaches just went 2 days ago and it's baby Roaches everywhere. On the table and all

Very disappointing. Beautiful view and facility. Okay food. Poor service. Worse than you can get from fast food place. Nothing like how it used to be. Made reservation for my wife birthday through open table. Then called and reminded it's for special occasion. My wife arrived first and got table. When I arrived, one girl at reception was telling me they are still setting up the table so I need to wait, while the other girl at reception was telling me my party was waiting at table. When I joined my party, no server came by for over 15 minutes. I had to stand up and ask waiter at station because it was passed children's dinner time. Then I had to stand up again to ask server for bread. Then I asked for straw for kids and the server said they don't carry straw any more... have kids menu but no straw?!?! I chose for ambiance and special attention they used to give. Not any more. Even birthday cake was charged when I informed them it's for birthday at three different occasions using different channels. The restaurant was not busy at all...not coming back. And will never send my clients to this restaurant again. read more

My husband and I were completely disappointed by our experience here. The entrees were anything but tasty. I ordered Jambalaya, which was way way way too salty that for the first time in my life I had to send it back and order something else. I went for the sea bass, and it was below average...for $42. My husband ordered the scallops which came with a bed of corn, onions and way too many edamame which really don't go with the seared scallops. Sad to say we will not be returning anytime soon unless there is a change of chef. read more

Gorgeous patio views!!! The food was delicious! I'm impressed with this place. Our server, Taylor, was amazing! She was so patient with our party and even though we had so many requests- she was awesome and delivered! Her attitude was great and she was friendly. The oysters were yummy, the clam chowder was delicious, and the iced tea was refreshing! I will definitely come back! Thank you Taylor for being terrific! read more

Came here with a large party. It took an hour and a half to an hour and 45 minutes to get seated. We got an appetizer plate which was really tasty. I ordered lemon butter mahi-mahi with risotto. The fish was great, but I swear the sauce had one whole stick of butter. Nobody should consume that much butter in one dish. I didn't even finish the plate and I felt so sick after. But everybody else's dishes were amazing! But be prepared to wait and service is very slow. read more

I held the reception after my mother's funeral service here this afternoon, and I have to say that I was completely happy with everything - the food, the service, the atmosphere, everything. I had called around to a few other places to see if they could accommodate a party of 20 at around 1:00 pm, and let them know that it could be more people, or could be less. I had one restaurant tell me that they didn't take reservations, and wouldn't be able to have that type of seating available at that time, and another restaurant that did take reservations that said they would call me back (if you take reservations, why would you need to call me back?) and they never did. Parker's not only took my reservation, they called me this morning to confirm (we ended up being 19 for lunch). We had a wonderful lunch, talked, shared stories about Mom, looked at old photos and postcards, and even had all of our parking validated by the very nice server. I was dreading this day for so many reasons, but Parker's Lighthouse made it better with their ability to create a lovely experience. read more

Two restaurants in one - seafood downstairs and steak upstairs - though based on the menus they both have some of each. What these places have in common are not the best things - overpriced food, decent service, and a well balanced selection. I think if you are in Long Beach - it'd be best to stay downstairs here and go with the seafood! read more

Stopped in here for lunch before heading home after a fun weekend visiting family. The atmosphere was nice. It felt like a good blend of high end and casual. The servers were all attentive and very freindly. Parking was a nightmare, especially on. Sunday afternoon. We ordered some appetizers to snack on. The Rock Oysters (which were basically Oysters Rockafeller) were delicious and tender. The calamari was very good but the portion seemed a bit small for the price. The only thing I would like to point out is that there was a very creepy old lady sitting next to us who was....well there's no other way to put it.... having lunch with her stuffed animals. She even gave one of them a cigarette. That's just a little odd.... read more

This is our second time at the restaurant. The service was great, the food was amazing and the view just perfect. We had oysters on the half shell, oyster Rockefeller and a rainbow roll. The food was fresh and tasty! Staff was friendly! Love this place! read more

Parkers' Lighthouse - Yummy! - Seafood Near Me - Long Beach, California

Honestly the only reason I would go back here is to have a drink at the bar on the third floor and enjoy the shoreline views. This would be a very nice after dinner date spot to grab a quiet drink and chat, but I would not recommend going here for dinner. If your idea of good food is well done steaks (even when you ask for medium rare) and over cooked seafood (my scallops and shrimp bruschetta were dry and tasteless) then this is your place. Their appetizer sampler plate of crab cakes, lobster taquitos, crispy fried calamari, and planko crusted shrimps dressed with quac and a side of aioli was not a pretty site, but fortunately was the most edible thing all night. Go to the bar upstairs and find dinner elsewhere... read more

I have eaten here many times, and tried many things; what kept me coming back is not the food but the view. It's beautiful here, day or night you can be sure your date and you will have a relaxing atmosphere. However, the food here is mediocre. First, the quality is not very consistent, and the fish and sandwiches is very dry. Even their signature entree, the cheese bread is often over cooked. Go here for drinks and bar food, but if you're looking for seafood, I think Blue Water Grill is a better choice. If you're a first timer, there is two dinning areas; one downstairs and one upstairs. The one downstairs is the main dinning area, you will get a full menu here. The one upstairs only serve appetizers and drinks. However, when is not too busy, the waiter/waitress will give you full access to their menu from upstairs. They will bring up the food from the main kitchen for you. Moreover, you do not need wait for seating upstairs, just like any bar seating, if you can find an empty table, go ahead and have a sit and start ordering. I highly recommend you sitting upstairs and order: 1. Drinks (for this recommendation, white wine is better paired with the food) 2. Garlic Cheese Bread 3. Caesar Salad 4. Creme Brulee The downstairs menu, especially the fish are very bland. Try to eat it with a pasta course to add some flavor and excitement to the meal. It's very hard to recommend something from their menu since their taste is so linear. read more

Disclaimer: my party of 4 is very difficult to please, but we are somewhat reasonable and appreciate service and quality for the price. This is strictly a review for their Mother's Day Brunch that was advertised against such gems as the Brunch at Queen Mary, etc. So I convinced my parents to come out at 9am to meet with me and my fiancé. And there's a line. Four phone calls confirming my reservation and they were not even prepared to open their doors until 9:15am. And we're seated at the second level. We don't like crowds so this seemed like a good decision, but why would you even CONSIDER doing this for a buffet? A little cardio to go along your side of dried up bacon? Other critques: -Poorly designed buffet line: Parkers' could probably take a hint from HomeTown Buffet in this department. -Improper utensils for staple items: Have you ever tried to use a spoon to grab bacon and sausage? Where are the tongs? -Temporary staff? Who are all these CSULB drop outs that Applebee's won't even hire?! The staff looked visibly overwhelmed by the fact that THEY WERE BEING PAID TO WORK! Clean yourself up and do your job! -Where are the highlights? My fiancé had to resort to eating soggy French toast. Oh, you call that "fish" you served? I thought it was chalk! -What omelette station? The nervous line cook gave me a 1/2 inch layer of watery egg and some mushrooms and ham on top of it. How does that look like an omelette? *RESTAURANT TIP INSPIRED BY PARKERS* Put lots of ice in your OJ and serve it in unlimited quantities. It's orange, liquid, and cold; what else could they complain about? At $40 per person, I walked out there feeling like I just got robbed. Oh, but I can't forget the one highlight: the coffee was hot! Needless to say, we will not be holding our reception there. Thanks Parkers' Lighthouse for making the first meal we shared with my parents as an engaged couple completely awful! read more

This was one of the worst dining experiences I have had in this price range, anywhere, ever. The only reason I gave it a second star is that the view and ambience is really quite nice. We started the evening being told it would be five to ten minutes, so we decided to skip the bar and just wait for our table. After 20 minutes they had no idea when they would be able to seat us, so we went to the bar. The server happened to find us very quickly but the drinks were very slow to come. Also, they had just changed the beer list and she wasn't sure what they had, which made ordering challenging. When our drinks showed up, we had to rush to settle the bar tab because our table was (finally) ready. When we were seated on the patio, things looked promising. Danny, our server, introduced himself and his 'helper' (we were two table of 4 each). We of course had full drinks so we ordered appetizers. In fairness, they came out quite quickly. Then the problems began. About 25 minutes after the apps were consumed, we still had not seen Danny. Our table was littered with dirty plates, drinks had been long since finished, and we couldn't find any help whatsoever. I actually picked up my phone and called the resaurant. I told them I was a customer on the patio and had not seen our server Danny in almost half an hour. I was apologized to and told he would be right out. TEN MINUTES later Danny comes out without apology and asks how we're doing. All went downhill from there. We asked for a refill on our beers, and I wanted a wine list. He argued with us about what we were drinking. Our bar waitress had said we were drinking Yellowtail Pale Ale. He said there was no such thing, Yellowtail was a fish. Danny do not mock your customers. After 10 more minutes he brought our beers and commented that you learn something every day, he had been told by the bar staff that it was indeed Yellowtail Pale Ale. After all of this they had the nerve to slap us with a mandatory 18% gratuity, because we arrived as eight people, even though we ended up as two tables of four. Oh the food? Mediocre for this price range. I had seared Ahi. I needed a knife to cut it...it was very fatty. The apps sampler was fairly pedestrian, and I also had oysters rock. They were the highlight of an otherwise dismal meal. I realize that they usually have a captive tourist audience, but I am a local. Won't be back and will steer visitors away. Sorry Parker's. read more

Pros: Great view, plenty of seating, great bar area w/ couches and indoor cabanas. Cons: Mediocre food, slow service, limited menu. read more

Great atmosphere, staff was great and worked as a team.food options were fantastic everyone could find something they liked. Prices for food amount and quality were fair. My children said it was the best miso soup they've ever had. My cedar plank salmon meal was perfect. No food leftover and for a family with 3 kids this is an outstanding feat!! read more

Having read other's review ranging from ecstatic to dull, I decided to try this place out. My mother loves this place for the view and since my aunt and uncle are leaving, why not come here. Forgive me I'm always playing with the format of my reviews: Food: The fish and chips I ordered were panko battered. While not my favorite batter, I decided to at least give it a chance. Not very tasty. It was very dull...OMG like the other reviews foretold....at least the fries were done crispy like I asked. Now the Clam Chowder was ok. Not the best I've had...that would be Ye Olde Kings Head in Santa Monica...still Champion....But the Garlic Cheese Bread was the best I've had....EVER. Really. EVER. Dessert was Warm Toll House Pie a la mode....with Hot Fudge....so gooooood. Price: Yeah it's a bit pricey, but not unlike Yard House or any other restaurant around the area. You're paying for the view as well as some others put it. It's a great view no doubt. They validate parking so it was $3 to get out of the lot. Service: Very friendly. Our waitress was great. Very friendly and personable. She was good. Judgment: It's a go. I'd recommend it for a date, anniversary, etc...it's in a great location and though the food I ordered was bland, the Chilean Sea Bass Grace got was delicious. Dessert was great and I'd go just for the bread alone. read more

Great atmosphere, ambiance, and multi-level makes it a fantastic date place at the Shoreline Village. I love their grilled Atlantic salmon, macadamia nut crusted tilapia, and their sushi selection, particularly the crunch roll, caterpillar and dragon. Port and Irish car bomb are a bit sweet, but the pear martini and marasca mojito are perfect. Before you go for that nice walk around the village and to the waterfront, you must try the Godiva Swiss Chocolate cake. Absolutely delicious. One of the places that I definitely miss in Long Beach. read more

Sub par food but, beautiful view. The food was not good at all and even worst none of their food is fresh! I ordered the stuffed chicken but, couldn't get it because it had nuts and was premixed. I am allergic to nuts but, the waiter told me I had to pay extra to get just regular grilled chicken instead of the stuffed chicken that I could not eat. Then when I asked for no mushrooms in the vegetables that was also not possible because the vegetables are pre mixed. The view was really pretty, we ate on the patio at sunset, though I will not be coming back. $120 for two people. So not worth it! read more

We've been to Parker's many times over the years. So, when we had our 39th Anniversary, our daughter in-law's birthday and special guest from out of state, this was our first choice. I'm sorry to say, anything that could have gone wrong, did. I requested a dining area with a water view because our guest were unfamiliar with our beautiful city and marina. The Open Table reservation provided a way to request it. I also called Parker's to confirm and note the same. When we got there, on time, the table wasn't ready so we went to the bar, only to wait and wait until I got up and found a server. By the time our drinks came, the table was ready so I left the table to see where they had seated us to find the table for six totally inadequate. I went back and asked them to try again. They called me up again and "seated you at a much better table". Turned out to be in the back room against a wall. Really? Finally, I walked into the dining area on the first floor and spotted an empty table and Michael. He made arrangements for us to have the table, but it was curved and they put 3 chairs on the small side, only two on the larger side. Too late to change, so we squeezed in. We sat and waited on the waiter, I finally got up and found him. We ordered drinks and appetizers. I never use coupons but this time Parker's had sent one to me and we ordered two items. They finally arrived without small plates, which were distributed afterwards. I got up again and found the waiter telling him we were ready to order. When the food arrived, all the appetizer plates were still on the table and it was up to us to move them around so the servers could place the plates and then pickup the small plates. Backasswards. The food was OK, not great as we had come to expect. My wife wanted water but again I had to getup and find the server. Knowing we had special events, the server brought out two "deserts" that looked like someone's left over bits of brownie and a dollop of ice cream. He gave us forks instead of spoons. We chased him down again for the check. The waiter had also charged us for both appetizers instead of crediting one. We Paid and left. Our guest were gracious but we were disappointed. Everything was off that night. Apparently, the Queensview had a special event and that was the priority. We had tried to reserve up there first. I finished the night by awaking at 3am to run to the bathroom for an hour. Parker's revenge. It makes me sad to write this review, but this restaurant can't rely solely on its spectacular location and water view. The food must be outstanding and the service beyond question or they can't charge the prices on the menu. That was $400 for the experience and a lesson learned. We'll be absent until they have addressed these concerns read more

Fists and last time at this place. Just wanted to have a drink. I order a cocktail from the menu. It was supposed to have absolute vodka. The bartender did not use that. Second, I got old smelly shrimp, as a garnish. Server was ok. But nothing special. Kitchen and chef should be on it, and check the food. Don't be F..ing lazy, and check the product. read more

Wow! This place brings me back to my dating days with my husband. In fact, our first anniversary was here. We were eighteen years old back then, and now, well that really doesn't matter! What matters is the food! I love their lobster taquitos, salmon and their oysters! Yummy, yummy, yummy! Oh and the view.... Awesome!!! Parker's... you'll always have a place in my heart!!! read more

This review is solely for the Happy Hour and Mother's Day Brunch. We couldn't afford going here as much as we do if we didn't do happy hour. My family goes out once a week so we're big fans of stretching our finances so that we aren't broke but can enjoy ourselves and get the kids out of the house. And Parker's is truly the way to go. The first time we came here was for Mother's Day Brunch. I honestly didn't want to do the whole brunch thing because it's too cliche but the decided last minute to join the masses. After a good 30 minutes of calling around Parker's Lighthouse was actually open at 9am and happily said they would seat a walk in for Mother's Day! Yay! We had the best seat and the best view, overlooking the harbor and the Queen Mary. The brunch was amazing, I think I ate till I got tired cause we seriously were there for about 3 hours. The server was awesome and he still works there and knows our names, unfortunately we don't know his. Our kids were free, I had not one mimosa glass that was empty and I left drunk and satisfied. (It was mother's day, don't judge me). Because of that experience, I figured they may have a happy hour and since our kids loved the place and the place seemed to love our kids, we all went as a family again. They've revamped the menu since the first time we went to Happy Hour but we still loved the happy hour menu. Their sushi is pretty good and decent for happy hour prices. There's clearly sushi that's just as good and cheaper in other places, but we go there knowing we aren't really going for the sushi since it's not a sushi restaurant. Their happy hour rolls average $2.50 to $4.50. My husband gets various raw rolls and is always satisfied. Plus you can't beat $1.50 for miso soup. I'm a shrimp fan and so is my 5 year old son, so I always order the scampi and the coconut prawns. Coconut prawns are fabulous and only $5. My 5 year old will ask for the prawns himself when ordering. The scampi is $6.50 and looks small but with the oh-so-delicious sauce and the piece of garlic bread it's actually all that I need. Of course I order more, actually the side of their garlic cheese bread for an additional $2.50 and dip in the sauce and it's more than enough. I'm not a bread person but I highly recommend their garlic cheese bread. We also order the $3 hot garlic potato chips and it's always a hit with the kids. Plus good enough portioned to share with everyone at the table. Their kids menu is a little expensive but then again, their dining menu is a little expensive. One kid entree is all you need for 2 small kids. We order the Linguine Alfredo for the kids and then end up taking some home for left overs. Drinks are actually a little pricy for happy hour. I'm a wine lover and will pay $7 for their Cabernet blend which is very tasty. They change their wine and we go there so often that once and a while a server who knows us will let me taste their upcoming wine. Now THAT is a sweet deal. Our happy hour bill averages $50 with tip which is more than enough to feed our whole family quality food in a beautiful ambiance with servers who care about us and are always consistently friendly even when they are backed up. We've had a few slower servers here and there, and some gliches but nothing detrimental that will take away from the food or the overall service. One of these days we'll be able to afford their dinner but for now we LOVE their happy hour and are huge fans of Parker's Lighthouse for their Happy Hour. ** My Tips: * Happy hour is 4-7pm - the extra hour helps a lot if you're working overtime * Outdoor seating is limited but is open even when it's freezing. We prefer taking the kids to outdoor seating for noise control and they put on the heat lamps full blast and then the experience feels somewhat exclusive. read more

Two stars for the view of the Queen Mary zero stars for the food. You'll be happier buying take out at one of the other restaurants and eating it in a park with the same view. read more

One of my fave restaurants! Service is always awesome! The food is great; the location is very convenient. My all time fave is their Chilean sea bass! It is flavorful and it melts in your mouth. I also like the chirashi bowl; fish is always fresh and the rice is cooked just right. Their children's meals come in very generous portions and the taste is great as well. I always request for outdoor seating since I like enjoying the breeze and the view- I definitely would recommend this place! read more

Overpriced for quality of food, I guess you're paying for the atmosphere. Very beautiful restaurant with great view and good service. Has a very good happy hour too with good drink deals and finger food. read more
