    We celebrated a birthday dinner and it was delightful in every way. We were promptly seated, the birthday was beautifully recognized, the service was very attentive and the all three of us thoroughly enjoyed our food. One member of our party said that the caesar salad was the best she ever had. My crab cake appetizer was fantastic. There wasn't a spot of food left on our plates.

    Felt like it had fine dining prices without the service. Steaks are very good. The salmon was nothing special for $52.

    If you're planning a romantic date with your significant other, this is the perfect place. Be prepared for a bit of a splurge, as a meal with two starters, two main dishes, and a bottle of wine will cost around $250-300

    Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your partner had a memorable date night at Parkway Grill. We look forward to welcoming you both back soon!

    The four of us had an excellent visit. We ordered the scallops, pork and L\lamb chops. All were good. I also tried the corn shrimp starter. It was different but I probably wouldn't order it again. It was kinda hard and it irritated the roof of my mouth. I really feel it the day after. Other than that we had a nice time and the service was great as usual.
