Let's start with the decor: gorgeous, cozy, and tastefully executed--the perfect backdrop for a top-notch dining experience. The staff is personable and warm, and Brandon (the sous chef) was an absolute delight to speak with and learn from. He is truly passionate about oysters and a consummate chef, paying such close attention to the finer details of how to truly enjoy the marvels he flies in fresh to his restaurant. The food: wow. Oysters were as beautiful as they were varied and delicious; jamon iberico de bellota (this was the real deal, by the way) that transported me back to Catalunya; a panko-breaded halibut dish with mashed potatoes and some of the most vibrant collared greens I've ever eaten. EVERYTHING was delivered with such precision and beauty, and the flavors were from another planet. The experience: as good as it gets. Thank you to The Parker Hollow team for an unforgettable culinary adventure!

Or is a cozy bar with comfy chairs, warm lighting and a full menu more your style? No problem - The Parker Hollow is here, AND it has a terrific menu, too! While I had the fisherman's stew (rich, decadent broth, loaded with seafood goodies - no measly Midwestern "here's your requisite two suffering shrimp" here), maybe seafood isn't your thing. And that's okay, because my husband had the Wagyu beef burger just to ease your concerns, and he said it was absolutely fabulous. Or at least his empty plate did. For dessert we suffered through the orange blossom saffron olive oil cake. You read that right - all of those words belong there, in that order. And by "suffer," I obviously mean our usually pretty chill marriage was tested by Who Would Get the Last Bite. It was that flipping good. And rich, and weird. But it was the perfect compliment to our dinner, as was his drink (I cannot remember what it was called, but it tasted like key lime pie and sunshine). We will definitely be back!

Absolutely loved this spot and eager to come back!…read more My wife and I went here for a dinner date and they didn't disappoint. Service was friendly and efficient. The food was AMAZING. We got the Cajun nachos as an appetizer. For entrées, my wife got the catfish with fries and and I got the Cajun rice with shrimp. The food was hot, seasoned well, and overall delicious. If you get the shrimp, definitely get it with yum yum sauce. We also got drinks. My wife got an amaretto sour. I got one of their cocktails, but can't remember the name of it. Bottom line: this was great food and a great experience. Definitely recommend!

Swift's Cajun Cuisine Food Truck Review…read more I tried Swift's Cajun Cuisine and ordered the fish with fried rice and shrimp. Unfortunately, the food was just okay for me and not something I'd personally return for. The fried rice was a bit spicy and it actually tasted like it picked up several different flavors from the grill it was cooked on. I also added shrimp after placing my order and was basically charged a dollar a shrimp, I received five shrimp, but honestly, that extra purchase wasn't worth it for me. The chicken was the best part of the meal and was actually pretty good. However, I bought the chicken intending to give it to my daughter, who has a fish allergy. After purchasing it, I asked whether the fish and chicken were fried separately and was told they use the same fryer and peanut oil. That's definitely something I should have asked beforehand, so that part was my mistake. Overall, I didn't really enjoy the meal enough to feel it was worth coming back for. This is just my personal experience and taste but unfortunately, Swift's Cajun Cuisine food truck wasn't a hit for me.

Huge pieces of beer battered Cod. I don't think I've ordered the same thing twice. The Fresh Sheet shows what is available fresh, then the full menu features prepared seafood.

Dessert is house made and delicious. The servers bring around a tray like at M & S Grille and McCormick and Schmick's. I prefer the upscale feel to the dining room to the bar and cocktail tables.

After looking through the menu, I went with the pad thai (medium spice) and crab rangoon, which were the top two ranked dishes on the app. The packaging it came in was very nice, I loved the branded bag that it came in that names all of Penny's restaurants. Everything came hot which was appreciated! The pad thai was super flavorful and the portion size was enough for dinner and lunch the next day! I personally could have gone up on the spice level, but flavor-wise everything was great! The crab rangoon were also delicious. There was no skimping on the filling and they were crispy. Ultimately I'm excited to try more of their dishes, especially some of Penny's specialties. I'm hoping I get the chance to actually eat there in person soon!
