Reviews
Perhaps due to new management (?) both the food quality and service left much to be desired. Out of the 4 of us that ate there, 3 wound up sending our meals back.
My $65 filet mignon (beef tenderloin) was cooked well (ruined), instead of the med rare I ordered. The waiter treated the feedback like it was the oddest thing she’d ever heard, and was increasingly incredulous as the others in our party pointed out their issues.
This is on top of several items that were just… never brought to the table. A side order of frites never showed up, and at least one drink was not delivered.
Since they were out of many things (5+ menu items and a half dozen drink components), after my steak was taken back to the kitchen, we were informed that they had no more steak either. The manager suggested he return the steak, now having been poked and prodded by the kitchen team, to finish eating it.
And after all of this, only the steak wound up being comped…
This restaurant’s only value during our stay is its presence as an inside joke… so if you’re looking for a bonding experience, this is the place! If you’re looking for fine dining, I’d try somewhere else.
I had a duck and root vegetables, it’s so cool, they are tiny but such tasty, I haven’t seen any places have them
I definitely want to come again
They were packed (as they should be), but we snagged a last-minute bar seat. I honestly recommend making reservations if you’re coming on a Friday or Saturday night — or do what we did and enjoy dinner at the bar. There are multiple dining spaces too, each with its own vibe. You can sit in the south side dining room, the brick room, or near the open kitchen for a more traditional fine dining feel — or visit their glitzy cocktail bar next door, Myrtle’s Fur Vault and Bar, which is also gorgeous.
I kicked things off with an Old Fashioned (see photo 1) that was absolutely perfect — like something you expect from a top-tier cocktail bar in New York or London, complete with a crystal-clear diamond ice cube. Then I had a flight of fresh oysters, and yes — I know what you’re thinking, oysters in South Dakota — but these were straight from Menemsha Pond in Massachusetts (see photo 2.) Fresh, clean, and absolutely restaurant-quality for the coast.
Next up: the Young Alumni, a signature Parker’s cocktail with rye whiskey, Cynar, mascarpone, blueberry, and lemon. Creative, artisanal cocktail (see photo 4.) Sorta showcases why Parker’s leads the way in bars in downtown Sioux Falls. Lip-smacking good!
For dinner, I had a classic Caesar salad (see photo 3) (anchovies optional — I opted out) followed by their prime rib dinner special (see photo 5) — a massive cut served with a silky demi-glace au jus. It knocked my socks off. Perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and plated with broccolini and housemade sauce.
Then came the Blackthorn Sour, and it was absolutely perfect — bold, spiced, and citrusy with just the right bite (see photo 6.) You can tell the bartenders here know exactly what they’re doing. Between the Young Alumni and this, it’s clear Parker’s has one of the best craft cocktail programs in Sioux Falls. Every detail = spot on.
Dessert: I opted for the affogato, with espresso poured over vanilla gelato made at the creamery at SD State in Brookings (see photo 7.) It was the perfect sweet note to end on and a good pick-me-up so that I could enjoy the rest of the evening downtown.
Next time, I’ll plan to pop next door to their sister lounge, Myrtle’s Fur Vault and Bar, for an after-dinner cocktail. It’s the perfect spot to wind down speakeasy-glam style. This time, we decided to stroll out and catch some live music down the block.
I can’t say enough good things. The cocktails are the best downtown, the menu is always seasonal, and the vibe makes it one of the most romantic restaurants in Sioux Falls. Whether you’re in town for a night or you live nearby, put Parker’s Bistro on your list.
10/10.
It started off on the wrong foot by starting almost 45 minutes late. The room had no noise dampening and was louder than necessary.
In addition, it took 3 1/2 hours to do 7 courses. A typical wine dinner is usually wrapped up within 2 hours.
Oh and the wagyu and fries were cold
In addition, imagine our surprise when there’s a mandatory $22 gratuity charge! Never once was it disclosed that gratuity was not included and would be 20%.
Very disappointed by the “gotcha charge aka gratuity charge” and the fact it took 3 1/2 hours to complete the meal
To further add insult to injury, after paying, our server ran us down in the parking lot and had the audacity to accuse us of not paying for our wine dinner. ♀️ oh honey, if you had opened any of our signed slips on the table. You’d see we were all charged for our meals and we all paid.
