My husband and I chose Parkway Grill for our Valentine’s celebration, expecting a high-quality dining experience consistent with its reputation and pricing. Unfortunately, the evening fell far short of acceptable standards. When the bread appetizer arrived, I had already eaten it before noticing a small hair underneath the bread. While concerning, I chose not to say anything at the time since I had already finished it. When our main course arrived—ribeye and wagyu steaks with fries and scalloped potatoes—we discovered a foreign object in the fries that appeared to be a ball of hair with dark specks. This time, we documented it and immediately notified staff. Our waiter suggested it looked like a piece of a kitchen cleaning sponge, which was alarming in itself. The manager apologized and

Classic American fine dining. Came here with my family for an early dinner after a show at the Playhouse, and made a reservation online in advance. We split a holland America farms Bibb lettuce salad and the beet salad to start; the salads were on the small side and meant for 1-2. We also had the bone marrow and hamachi crudo; I really liked the crudo. For my entree, I had the Scottish salmon which came with a good amount of veggies and felt healthy. My sister really enjoyed her scallops and my mom was astounded at how large the whole ginger fried Louisiana catfish was - that fish could’ve been an entree for two. My dad had the short rib and we also had fries for the table, which were nice and crispy. For dessert, we split a chocolate lava cake which was a sweet way to end the meal. Valet

Everyone in our family party enjoyed their steaks, which was impressive. All the steaks were 20yrs+ aged. Service was great on refilling hot waters to more. $8 valet takes credit card or cash. I think this steakhouse is worth revisiting for our family. My senior dad who is pretty picky with his steak, actually ate all of his. Forgot what he got but he like how tender it was. The SO thought his 40day NY Steak was decent but nothing that great. Rest of the party thought it was good. None of the bread was dairy-free. Many ppl in our party enjoyed the bread with raisins. The reason we picked this place was due to being in Pasadena, not overly loud like other places, and decent. Also, they surprisingly had a last minute cancellation dinner reservation a week before. Bare in mind, this is the

Excellent meal, service and evening. The restaurant was packed but the sound level was subdued and the service was so quiet! That takes effort! The scallops, crab cakes and lamb shank were all winners. Cauliflower and scalloped potatoes are must have sides. This is a top notch restaurant!

My first time visiting and it did not disappoint. First, we were pressed for time and was at Houstons but the wait was too long. We called here and they said they had a table for two that we could have but they needed it by 8 PM. We were minutes away and were seated right away and had wonderful service by Chris. The food was awesome. I had the Ragu pasta bollanise my friend had the shrimp scampi pizza. They were both excellent. Flavorful, fresh and hot. We were able to complete our meal and make it to s jazz venue we were going to very timely. Thank you Parkway Grill. Oh, and the valet service was excellent also.
