Soaking up the sea breeze on the outdoor deck at sunset, whilst enjoying crispy Calamari fried to perfection, dipped in Tangy Honey Mustard sauce... and a glass of chardonnay.... now that's what I call a good day!! I've been here many a time and this...is what I get every time. This is strictly the only place I will order calamari from, and that is because I know it will ALWAYS be perfect! The atmosphere is divine, the service is candid, the views are breath taking and all of that in combination with superb food equates to a symphony of sensations if you will. I highly recommend dining during the sunset and either taking a stroll or a "scoot" along the stretched beach line or simply enjoying a day in the sun and sand either before or after your meal. It truly completes your experience here and I can guarantee, you'll be longing to come back for more.More

Beautiful location, excellent food. The calamari appetizer was super good, perfectly cooked (if you know calamari you know it can be so easily overcooked - well, not this chef, it was perfect.) Fish and chips good as well. But the star of the evening was...the Mango Mojito DELICIOUS - order it ladies, it was delish. Not too strong, great flavors. Yum. Service was great as well. The view is great, the location perfect. Food good. Drinks good. Service good. If you're there, go. Slightly pricey but it is Long Beach, right? ;)More

This is a very comfortable dining experience. I have been coming here for at least ten years with my family. The tables are large and roomy. They serve a variety of drinks that are unique to the restaurant. The menu has everything from sushi to...traditional sandwiches. There are options for kids. The ocean view surrounds the restaurant. There is in-door and out door dining, but no pets allowed.More

My husband and I wondered in to Parker’s outside deck because we wanted some fresh fish, a beautiful view and an outside seat in the sun! No goal unmet! The service was excellent! We were warm (plexiglass to block wind and animals) - ha, we’ve...seen raccoons here in the past OUTSIDE) the restaurant on the rocks so no bother! I ordered fish taco and they were oh so excellent! My husband got a seared Tuna sandwich - also excellent. We didn’t have one bite left. The view is of the harbor- lighthouse, Queen Mary and of course the Ocean. Expensive!More

We are in Long Beach before we cruise and decided to give this place a go. Everyone seem to like their meals. I had a seafood pasta. Other guest had fish and chips that were good. Didn’t care for slaw and wished they had hush...puppies. They had good clam chowder and cheese bread for app. Another guest had a cheeseburger they really liked and the desert was great. The butter cake! Yum! Our server was very good and kept drinks coming.More

After a long day of touring Long Beach, my family and I came here for dinner. Our dinner was fantastic. For starters, we enjoyed the crispy brussel sprouts and sushi (Lighthouse Rolls). The sushi was incredible because of its freshness, texture, and seasonings. Our dinners...included Mesquite Grilled Salmon, Yucatán Roasted Chicken, and Cioppino. All prepared perfectly. The staff was attentive, friendly, and spot on with our orders. I wish I remember our server's name. Last, our cocktails were delightful. Overall, we highly recommend Parker's. We will return.More

When we walked into the restaurant we asked about the lobster roll special And how it was different from the lobster roll on the menu. The young ladies at the front desk told us that was not their job and to ask the waiter. Needless...to say we left immediately.More

My wife and I never like to return to a restaurant that brings back fond memories. After sixteen years, we find ourselves back in Long Beach, CA. We decided that Parker’s needed to be revisited to see if it was as good as what we...remembered. We are pleased to say that everything was perfect, and thank you, Austin, for your service. Rather than talking about the food, check out the photos. However, I must say something about the Cakebread Sauvignon Blanc. I am a fan of old-world wines and am rarely impressed when I venture into the new world. However, I stand corrected as this very palatable Sauvignon from CA is equal to the finest French selections. Order, drink, enjoy xMore

We spent a quick night in Long Beach before embarking on a cruise. The atmosphere and view made it worth the visit, as did our waiter, JJ. He was efficient and fun – just the right amount client / staff interaction. The wine and oysters...were terrific, and the Aji tuna and swordfish catch of the day were nice, just not fantastic. However, we would recommend the restaurant for the entire package.More

Nice business dinner with colleagues. Very SoCal ambiance with an expansive marina view. Seafood linguini was very good. Appetizers were a bit underwhelming. Restrooms are located up a flight of stairs. Was it bad - no. But felt a bit pricy for an average experience.

Very average dinner. The sea bass was over cooked. Scallops and shrimp were okay. Definitely not worth the money for quality of food served.

If you are looking for above average food with scenic views and outstanding service, I highly recommend Parker’s. Starting with the fresh baked sourdough rolls with real butter, followed by a house salad with homemade red wine vinaigrette and for dinner the fresh fish or...Cajun spiced chicken are excellent choices. The mashed SWEET potatoes that are served with the chicken were very tasty and full of flavor. The dining experience was one where there was no rush at anytime during the meal.More

Can I say first off a huge shout out to the staff here. Our waitress was unbelievable. We had a flight out at 3pm and needed to be gone by 1pm and they were fantastic. Food here was great, very tasty, big portions and most...importantly fresh. I had the oysters (east and west coast), the "I love you" roll which was amazing and we had the calamari which was more than enough for 2 people never mind one and was well cooked. Credit were credit is due I couldn't really fault this place. I can't think of one negative and the waitress who served us was easily one of the best I have encountered in 30 years. Great job guys, I hope to return one day very soon, thank you for a great meal.More

As far as the group reservation goes it would be no big deal they would just accommodate the actual number. Separate checks> I'd call and ask
