"Always make a reservation before dining at Mister Parker’s. This is a pure old-school classic restaurant where every element is well-executed. The service is immaculate, from the maître d providing guidance (and a required jacket for men), the longtime sommelier telling stories while popping a cork, and chef Pedro Baroso’s menu. Get the three-course menu, or take a server’s recommendation of the grilled octopus over fava beans and pork chorizo. The beef tartare is prepared tableside, and the prime filet is topped with bone marrow butter. Speaking of butter, the sourdough bread comes with a beef tallow and butter candle, allowing diners to dip into a hot bite. Every element is special, so wear something nice and have a memorable night." - Mona Holmes
