"Food and service were both really good.Duck and Beet Salad a meal on its own. Perfect for sharing.Swordfish special perhaps the best my wife has ever had. Filet was tasty and cooked perfectly. Finished the evening with a warm tart. What can get better than that? Dave was both knowledgeable and fun. Parkside Restaurant becoming a new go-to spot for a great night out."

"Great atmosphere, generous portions, quick and attentive service and fair prices really make Parkside a gem. Definitely on the louder side, but not so much you can't hear the person next to you, and the higher volume really just serves to amplify the energy and positive feel of the place. Highly recommended!"

"First Time is a Winner! While looking at restaurants for "Dining for Life" benefitting Aids Project RI, the Parkdside had the most enticing menu. As a first timer, I was impressed with everything. The food was divine, from appetizers to desert. Our waitress was fantastic-informative, knowledgable, and nice. We joked, learned about her education plans, her birthhome and so on. (she deserved a generous tip) We had crab cakes and fried wontons for appetizers ( delicious), house salad. Entrees were a three kind pork dish with grits. (the grits were the best). I had the veal chop special (amazing). Overall, one of the best meals ever."

"On the famed East Side of downtown Providence near historic Court house and Brown University. Wonderful walking neighborhood with attractive shops and theatres nearby. A sensational Bar and Restaurant scene. Always tantalizing menu and bar drinks. Mark L."

"Chose Parkside for a small, family Easter Dinner because I've previously experienced exceptional service and a menu that has something for everyone and the Parkside did not dissapoint for this occasion. Enjoyed a leisurely, delicious, 3 course dinner served by a professional and attentive staff."

"we did get a back- room corner table - other wise it can be a little noisy - which isn't necessarily bad - but it was Valentines' - so you know....
Impressed that you had the full menu on a special night - so much better than the "hill". As always, excellent staff, attentive without being too familiar or fussy. Fun and the food was excellent."

"When arriving at Parkside, during the lunch hour rush, we were quickly sitted and attended to. The waiter was very attentive and helpful in choosing our entrees. The bartender had a camaraderie with what I can only assume to be the regular visitors to this establishment which made it a welcoming atmosphere. We took a leisurely lunch and were not rushed at all. The food was delicious especially the roasted corn and squash soup and shellfish pie! Perfect venue for a nice lunch out!"

"Went for Valentines dinner. Food was well prepared and service prompt. A little dark which made menus hard to read even with 'cheaters' on. Noisy but great open kitchen view. I has the Three Little Pis entree which was delicious !"

"We had amazing service at Parkside for our party of 5 -- and everyone had a delicious and wonderful meal -- from the chicken to steaks and a burger. The red velvet cheesecake and the flourless chocolate cake were also pretty fantastic. We had a great time and would highly recommend."

"We have visited the restaurant quite a few times over the years, and have always enjoyed the ambiance and the well thought out menu. Parkside remains one of our favorite restaurants for dinner à deux."

"The variety of menu choices ensured that everyone in our party of 10 was able to get something they really wanted to have - and the fact that the table got very quiet once the food was served was testament to how delicious everything was! Their rotissere chicken is reason enough to dine here. The lunch salads are just the right mixture of greens and protein to keep a hard worker going all afternoon."

"A bit pricey, but worth it! The seasonal Nantucket Bay scallop appetizer was a delightful mix of light (the scallops) and heartier (chorizo in the sauce) flavors. The Basque Shellfish stew was also quite tasty -- I really wanted to pick up the bowl and guzzle the broth, but I restrained myself and soaked it up in the sourdough toast instead. The meal was worth the trek in the wicked (13 degree) cold."

"We went for Providence Restaurant week. Friend had the tacos which she said were excellent; I had the beef sandwich and it was not great. A plate load of french fries, wet sliced beef between two slices of french loaf. It was not what I was expecting from Parkside, but it was okay. Normally this place is very good."
