Went with a group and luckily got seated quickly without reservations. The place filled fast behind us. Instead of an entrée, I went with the charcuterie plate and a beet salad. The duck liver pate was divine – smooth, subtly seasoned with a deep unctuous flavor. The lamb and rabbit sausages were skillfully crafted – all these items made in... More

We were passing through for one night, and had booked another restaurant (off of a Trip Advisor review). After stopping at a fabulous wine bar (The Market), chatting up the owner, she told us we had to cancel and go to Parker's. The Trip Advisor photo made it look small and café-ish. Therefore, recommend you check out their website for... More

It is always nice to find a restaurant that offers a different approach to dining out. Parker's provides an intimate setting with a menu unlike other dining experiences. If you like food that is high quality and something you will not find everywhere else, go here. The service is friendly and high class. It is fun to find places that... More

Even though it was a lunchtime experience, you can really tell this is a great place to enjoy a meal. A first for me was trying a crab BLT, which was absolutely delicious with a cup of soup. Topped off the meal with a Mexican Mocha and a chocolate frite aka my personal sugar nirvana. The service was excellent and... More

Finding local eateries is always a pleasure, but this one has a vibe to it that starts with the open kitchen and continues all the way back to the smaller bricked-in space for more intimate dining. The setting feels like the kind of space where you'll feel better smartly dressed - but not overdressed. That is to say that it... More

I was there for lunch. These guys know how to serve their guests! Server was wonderful, well-informed, and just a friendly soul. The bldg is full of history and personality, you get to walk past the kitchen as you're seated, and can feel the staff's love for food . I so recommend this place but its too $ for me... More

I have been to Parker's maybe only 5 times since it has opened and each time to food gets better and better. This quite bistro is located in the downtown area of Sioux Falls , SD in one of the brick buildings on Main Street. The owners kept the brick exposed on the inside part of the Bistro . This... More

Overall this place is very good being a visitor I used TripAdvisor to find the best restaurant in Sioux Falls. I have no complaints about the food the location or the service, everything was excellent. The only complaint I have would be the price, it was very expensive for the small portions of food I got. However it was very... More

Having grown up in Sioux Falls, but then lived and traveled extensively across the country, I was so glad when Parker's open several years ago, giving Sioux Falls a taste of the inventive and well-executed fine dining restaurants and menus I've had the pleasure to experience elsewhere. Their seasonal menu features local produce and meat, plus their wine list is... More

We had two not so good experiences at Parkers but decided to give them one more chance before we decided not to go back. This time it was great. The service was wonderful with a very personable, efficient waitress that offered good suggestions. The food was delivered quickly and presentation was very good. Our only complaint would be that the... More
