parker and otis

solid, but not amazing. i think this restaurant gets way too much hype. it'sgoodfor what it is... a little lunch place. but it's nowhere i would frequent regularly.

good place to go if you're also in the market to do a little shopping. the restaurant is merged with a gift shop of sorts and it's fun to walk around and look at the merchandise.

neat!. i was really confused when i walked into this place. i wish i would have look at some other reviews for reference, so i will pass along my new found knowledge.

this place has a unique vide. there is an area of tables at the front entrance(all of them full, probably). if you walk past that you can weed past the shop area to the order line and more importantly the menus.

i really enjoyed what i had. everything seemed really fresh and full favored. besides thegoodfood there is a lot to take in. there is baked goods, fresh made chocolates, handmade crafts and more!

the only thing i would say could be a negative would be the large amount of foot traffic. if you don't like crowds this isn't the place for you.

long story i ended up at the wrong train station and was starving so i used this app to find parker and otis and i was pleasantly surprised with my whole experience. the food wasgoodand fresh and fairly reasonable prices. if i ever got lost again i would come here

yummy in my tummy!. i can't say enoughgoodthings about this place. i can't wait to go back for more! such a delightful place to visit and just hang out with your friends. all kinds of goodies available for purchase and the food is great!

brunch and mystery. all summer long, parker & otis was our sunday-brunch destination. ok, yes, we live next door. but that just means we're lucky: they have everything we need for sunday brunch. ny times: check;goodespresso: check; amazing blueberry muffins: check; friendly staff who're too busy to chat: check; ample seating: check.

but wait! now that the weather has turned cool, that last crucial element, ample seating, has been jeopardized, as all the folks who used to flock to the back porch (leaving the indoor tables free for us) have moved inside. this past sunday we arrived at 10:35 and wound up having to get our food to go, as there was nowhere to sit.

is this the beginning of the end of a beautiful relationship?

which brings me, in a roundabout way, to the mystery. i visit parker & otis once or twice a week, and there are always a decent number of people there, but they're nearly *all* always either eating, or standing in line to order food. the shelves of gourmet food, and the huge wine selection, rarely seem to have more than one two folks browsing, and half the time they appear to be people killing time waiting for their food orders.

if the sunday-morning seating shortage continues, maybe they'll let us perch on the tables full of cookbook displays?
