Parker’s Restaurant (Omni Parker House)
About
Parker’s Restaurant is the fine dining room inside the Omni Parker House, the historic downtown Boston hotel. It is famous as the birthplace of three local classics, Boston cream pie, Parker House rolls and Boston scrod, and it describes its offering as a superb culinary experience paired with exceptional personal service. Its directory listing calls it an award-winning restaurant and a place for some of Boston’s finest dining.
The room is a grand dame of Boston dining, with Waterford crystal chandeliers and ornate hand-carved woodwork that recall the days when Charles Dickens, Ralph Waldo Emerson and other literary greats dined here with the Saturday Club. The hotel itself dates to 1855 and is regarded as the oldest continuously operating hotel in the country, which makes a meal here a direct link to the city’s culinary and literary past.
