Came here on a Saturday night with my partner. No reservations so we grabbed a seat at the bar,…read morethis is the pro move. Richard (bartender) and Adrienne (our server) were fantastic. Both provided recommendations when ask and were extremely accommodating and personable. We ordered a bottle of the Grillo which was an excellent value and delicious white wine. I prefer Sauvignon Blanc and this did not disappoint. For dinner we tried the ravioli and meatball parm (Adrienne's recommendation) both were delicious! We have plenty of leftovers to last us. Ended the meal with house made absinthe (my partner swears it tasted like gummy bears) and limoncello. Do not sleep on Gabagool! Service was phenomenal, drinks were fun and food was delicious. We felt like we were at Nona's house!

The Pilsner, while possessing an undeniably appealing flavor profile, arrived at room…read moretemperature--a cardinal sin that dulled its crispness and muddled its intended nuances, leaving it tasting flatter than it deserved. In stark contrast, the Lemoncello Cheesecake Martini proved an absolute delight: rich, creamy, and lush with bright lemonade notes. Intensely satisfying and dangerously drinkable, one could happily indulge in a gallon of this velvety concoction. Service brought its own inconsistencies. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive, cheerfully assisting with menu navigation. However, requests for ice water were met repeatedly with room-temperature glasses, requiring multiple reminders that never quite resolved the issue. The menu itself presented a minor puzzle--the dessert section was absent, leaving us uncertain whether a separate dessert menu existed or if options had simply been overlooked. The appetizers shone brightly. The Fried Green Tomatoes arrived as a visually stunning plate (we had already dispatched two of the four slices before snapping a photo). The breading was on the heavier side yet carried solid flavor, while the accompanying sauces stole the show. The marinara was exceptional--deep, fresh, and layered with complexity; one could easily envision bottling it. The cream sauce provided a lovely counterpoint to the vibrant pesto, which surprised me (as a general pesto skeptic) with its balanced texture and multifaceted flavor profile. The Burrata and Charcuterie-style starter was equally successful. Featuring a generous bowl of creamy burrata, two varieties of sweet jam, assorted cured meats, and crusty bread, it invited creative assembly into custom crostini. This interactive element added an innovative, playful touch while delivering robust, harmonious flavors. Unfortunately, the main courses told a more mixed story. The Sausage and Broccolini pasta was a clear disappointment. Visually, it arrived swimming in excess grease that overwhelmed the palate from the first few bites onward and very muted tones. While the pasta was perfectly cooked, the broccolini retained a pleasant crunch, and the sausage offered good initial flavor and texture, the sheer quantity of oil coated everything, rendering subsequent tastes one-dimensional and heavy. In hindsight, the Shrimp Caprese might have been the wiser choice, though the menu's lack of portion detail gave pause. My husband's Chicken Parmesan fared better. The cutlet showed a darker presentation that stopped short of burnt, and while the visual appeal suffered slightly, the flavor delivered. The pasta was cooked beautifully with a well-balanced sauce portion, and the generous cutlet itself was tender and satisfying--a solid, classic execution. Overall, the meal had moments of real brilliance, particularly in the appetizers and that unforgettable martini, tempered by execution missteps in temperature control and richness management. A restaurant with clear potential, though one that would benefit from tighter attention to fundamentals.

We love this place BUT please stop forgetting and messing up our orders. They misheard and gave us…read morethe wrong tacos once and they were not going to give us the correct order. The reply was "oopsies". Then another time they forgot our birria fries when we ordered takeout/pickup and we didn't realize it until we were already on the interstate. The food is delicious but please work on improving customer service and satisfaction! These little infractions make it less desirable to come back.

Oh man, picture this: I dial up Chabelitas, craving a tamale apocalypse, and boldly order 30 of…read morethose bad boys. That's right, 30--enough to build a fortress or bribe an entire neighborhood watch. But the lady on the phone hits me with the sass cannon: "Are you SURE you want 30 tamales? I mean, it's gonna be like $120," delivered in that tone that's equal parts eye-roll and "30 tamales is beyond our capabilities" revelation. Look, I've slaved over homemade tamales with my family--picture us in the kitchen like a chaotic assembly line of corn husks and masa mishaps, laughing through the sweat. But hey, isn't that literally the restaurant's gig? To crank out tamales whether it's a dainty dozen or a full-on fiesta invasion? I politely inquire why my order is apparently triggering World War Tamale, and she snaps back, "Do you want them or NOT?" like I'm auditioning for a reality show called "Survivor: Takeout Edition." I've haunted this joint more times than a ghost in a piñata factory, and I could pick that female voice out of a lineu...blindfolded. Clearly, business is booming so hard they can audition customers now--must be nice! As a prehistoric patron from the early Chabelitas era (back when dinosaurs probably ordered the specials), I bet if I'd waltzed in person, they'd have rolled out the red carpet instead of the red-hot attitude. Next time, I'll just show up with a mariachi band to announce my tamale conquest. Lesson learned: Phone orders are not for the faint of heart, or maybe Chabelitas just has the wrong Chabala at the phone. Chabelitas, kick that nasty attitude to the curb. Adios to Xabelitas, La Mexicana de Columbus took my order in less than two minutes and I'm OMW to get them now.

Lovely little spot right alongside the riverwalk. Found a quiet place for a later lunch and study,…read moreand did not disappoint! The interior is so cutesy, from the window bar-ish area with outlets facing outside, to tables and couches enough for two, four, or more, this is definitely the spot for any occasion. The staff were so nice, gave great recs. I was gonna get their matcha but they ran out, which was no biggie cause I got a drink in latte form instead as recommended. I had the golden bracket latte, and did not disappoint! It's definitely on the sweeter side, but still enjoyed it. Really enjoyed the cold foam! For lunch, I had the hickory smoked Turkey Swiss and it was *chef's kiss* so divine. The mayo really ties it all together! Their soup was a lemon chicken rice which was really delish! The soup, and the pickle with the sandwich, really complimented well together with just the bite it needed. 100% will be back :) I'll be camped out here for a couple more hours- something tells me I'll be ordering another bite in just a few minutes. Highly recommend :)

I went here the second time with my mom & brother and we got 2 iced americanos with 1 iced vanilla latte and the plastic cup that had the iced vanilla latte cracked so it was leaking. I told the barista and she said she'll make us a new one. She wasn't the friendliest but she was not rude either , but I think I had such high expectations as my first experience here was very positive so it just wasn't the same as the first one.

I never liked salads much before I started eating at Parker's but now I will actually crave their salads, especially with that kale pesto ranch dressing. I've never had anything here that wasn't good. My favorites of their soups are the Hungarian mushroom, the roasted cauliflower, or the spinach and artichoke. My favorite sandwiches are the Havarti Party, the chicken salad, egg salad, or the tuna salad hot pressed on wheat. My husband loves the Godfather and the Reuben. We also love the spinach feta quiche and the sweet gobbler sandwich. They also have a variety of baked goods and latte options. More people need to know about this place! It's a local gem!
