We stopped in Sioux Falls for a night during our road trip and I decided to check out this place…read morebased on reviews. It's August 2023 and like most places during these times, they are short staffed. So we waited a bit even though I made a reservation on open table. No biggie. We were early anyways. Our server was very lovely and managing tables indoors and outdoors. The cocktail menu is very good. I had the lavender martini and the last drink on the cocktail list. Blanking on the name even though I had 2 of them. Maybe that's why I don't remember haha. I ordered the bouillabaisse, and it was delicious. My husband had a steak dish and enjoyed it very much. But then he slurped up the rest of my bouillabaisse sauce and said he could drink that forever. We skipped dessert and walked back to our hotel. It's an easy location in the happening area. I'd love to return.

The experience here left me underwhelmed. I have been looking forward to coming to Parker's bistro…read morefor quite a while, my friend and I stopped for a couple appetizers while feeling a little peckish. We got the Chislic, and the cheese plate. The cheese plate was pretty disappointing, the cheese looked like it had sat out all day. No major flavor profiles, a basket of basic crackers to go along with it and olives. For the cost of a cheese plate I expected to be relatively satisfied with it. No fruits, jams, breads, spreadables (1). The fluidity of the dish was very stale, as well as the freshness. The Chislic is some of the best that I've had, having travelled far and wide, I can say without a doubt this is so far my favorite out of 18 countries and hundreds of restaurants. Our waitress seemed incredibly green, didn't seem familiar with the menu, upon checkout, added an erroneous item to our check, which I would've missed had I not gone over it, overall, I was disappointed in the visit that I had at Parker's bistro. I had had high hopes for my first visit, and was hoping for this to be a new favorite restaurant downtown. Wonderful ambience, absolutely stunning Chislic, great drinks, and warm staff regardless.
