Yelp Review 2026 #220: The first time I've eaten at Parker's Restaurant was 12 years ago. It's located inside Omni Parker House. I made a reservation for their earliest opening for breakfast because we had to catch a train to get to the stadium for the World Cup at 9am. They promptly opened at 7am which is the time I reserved. Going through the thick curtains, we got seated right away with menus in hand. Looking around, you'll see a spacious dining area. Well-preserved - the hotel has been open since 1855. I'm not a huge breakfast fan. So, I knew I didn't want a big meal. The smart thing to do was to get an omelet for protein and just a continental breakfast to be shared by 2 people. And it worked out perfectly. Less than 20 minutes after getting seated, our food was ready. PARKER'S OMELET: Your choice of whole or egg white / choice of ham / bacon / peppers / onions / tomatoes / mushrooms / spinach / Swiss / cheddar + breakfast potatoes and toast. Highly customizable which I love. I got whole egg, bacon, peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach and Swiss cheese. 4/5 CONTINENTAL: Your choice of chilled juice / hot coffee / choice of muffin or bagel with cream cheese. Don't sleep on the corn muffins! They're absolutely amazing. Buttery, freshly-baked, warm, crunchy on the outside, soft and grainy on the inside. The best corn muffin I've ever had. 5/5 BOSTON CREAM PIE: A classic. Every time I come here, I have to have this. It's small so it doesn't feel like overkill 4/5 They do have breakfast buffet on weekends. Service was quick and attentive.
Parker's Restaurant is the famous place where the Boston Cream Pie was invented inside the Omni Parker Hotel. We came here around 10:00am on a Saturday and waited in a line about 10 people deep. It was about 30 minutes before we were seated, and the weird part was there was a lot of empty tables. Understaffed? poorly managed? New hostess? I don't know. What I do know is that I was hungover and needed to hydrate. I ordered water and a Dr Pepper, and it took a while for them to come back with liquids. I ordered the corn beef hash, and my buddy got the Famous Boston Cream Pie. The hash was solid, but the cream pie was really good. Spongy cake filled with a delicious custard. I have never liked Boston Cream Pie in the past, but It's because I have only had imposters! The food was good; the staff was nice but not really attentive and the place was pricey for what you get. With all of that said, the Boston Cream Pie is worth it.
This is an elegant restaurant with a lot of history attached to it including being the place where JFK proposed to Jackie Bouvier. The place was somewhat empty at 10:35 AM on a Sunday morning and we were seated right away. Our server brought us the menu and a gentleman going around with juice and coffee offered us drinks within a few minutes. I ordered the King bagel sandwich. It was a good sized sandwich that was filling. Breakfast potatoes were good. Although the place had few customers, we did not see our server again and we were not approached for a coffee refill. A different server came over and asked if we were done as he brought the check. We asked him for more coffee and he did so after a few minutes. We might have tried their famous Boston Cream pie if the check hadn't been brought and if we had been asked if we wanted to order something else. I wondered if this was a shift change and our server had left for the day but it was all good. We had a good breakfast.
Want to experience a trendy Bostonian lunch with a flair of fine dining, you might want to try Parker's Restaurant. Home of Parker House Rolls( hubs ate 3 of the 4 rolls in the bread basket.) Someone had made these for a potluck and my memories were of true butter rolls. This was more of a very soft texture milk roll. Tried a cup of their clam chowder and this is 110% authentic New England clam chowder- the taste, perfection: creamy, thick, lots of clam morsels in every swallow. The best thing I had here. Hubs had a hamburger and I had a herbed chicken sandwich. Both were sadly dry. The roll was nicely crisped. My fruit salad saved me- the cantaloupe was sweet and chilled. Ambiance, attentiveness of staff is outstanding. Loved the portrait of Harvey Parker, the supposed ghost alive and well at this hotel. Will we see him? Plan is to walk past room 303 and walk the corridors of the 9 th and 10 th floors. I am carrying a ti leaf... just in case.
Beautiful restaurant! Ate breakfast while staying at the Omni Parker House. Delicious and the server was excellent. A little pricey but worth it!
Parker rolls were the best I've had, warm and so good with butter. Hot tea with lemon and honey hit the spot. I had the a cup of clam chowder. It was creamy and had just enough clams and potatoes. The short rib grilled cheese was delicious. Beef was tender and the cheese was a good compliment. The baked scrod wasn't bad. This is the place that invented the Parker Rolls and Boston Cream Pie. Boston Cream Pie was good. Texture of the cake wasn't that soft. Host & server were great. Ambiance is nice and we weren't seated so close to other tables like some of the other more popular small restaurants.
We drove into town from The Cape to visit a friend who had undergone surgery earlier in the month. We decided to go to someplace for lunch that had an historic aesthetic, like the Union Oyster House, or The Warren, so we hit upon Parker's Restaurant at The Parker House Hotel. Wood paneled boiserie and chandeliers greeted us and we got right to work ordering dishes Parker's is famous for creating. I had some light and airy Parker House rolls, (invented there) and some award-winning New England Clam Chowder, Baked Boston Scrod with buttered crumbs (also invented there), with mashed potatoes and veggies with a lovely beurre blanc. I finished off my luncheon with Boston Cream Pie (also invented there). The food was top drawer, I must say. The service was also spot on. The only drawback was that the place was a ghost town. In the entire dining room, there were only 3 parties, and it was 12:30pm when we got there! A real pity. If you're looking for someplace to make a splash for someone, go here, but for brunch, which I suspect is much busier. You'll love it.
Service was slow for breakfast. The "best corned beef hash in Boston", was very disappointing. It was grossly over cooked and almost gelatinous. O'Bryan potatoes missed the mark as well. They did a great job on the sourdough toast and did remove the corned beef hash from my bill Most higher end hotels nail breakfast. This Omni is not one of them.
I came here for a Saturday brunch. And service was smooth, and there was a nice selection of brunch foods options including omelettes and pancakes. It's a very beautiful restaurant with tall ceilings inside the hotel. It felt very historic. The highlight of the meal was the Boston cream pie. I can see why people visit here for this. The only small thing to note is that if you come for a Saturday brunch, they technically start closing around 2pm. We had a 1pm reservation, and they let us stay until 2:45pm but they had to ask us to leave as they were clearing up. Still, it was a good experience.
We had breakfast here because of the Boston cream pie. I had the Boston's best corned beef hash which I have to agree that it was the best I've ever had. The wife had the French toast and she thought it was good. I don't know if you would get a bad French toast anywhere. The service was excellent and we heard about the table JFK proposed to Jackie and they showed us where it was. It was an older restaurant and hotel so it has some history behind it including the Boston cream pie which was phenomenal. Interesting enough there is a website you can order it from including other famous restaurants. It wasn't cheap but I wanted to share it with my family.
Came here because this is the place that had the first ever crème pie... but sometimes ancient things should stay ancient. I will first say that their website is not updated and says that jackets are preferred for men and those without collared shirts or wearing shorts will not be allowed in. We called just to confirm dress code and found out that that was not the case. The pie itself was stale and oddly lukewarm (which is weird for a custard). It wasn't flavorful at all and the best part was putting it in the whipped cream to get some semblance of texture and flavor. Half of our table got strawberries with their cake while half didn't. The service was also slow and our server clearly did not want to be there. The lady pouring waters was excellent.
Woke up to a white Christmas as it was snowing outside . So the coffee tasted extra good . Plenty of selections on the menu , but I ordered the eggs Benedict . Was very tasty and the eggs poached just right . Great friendly service .
My wife and I spent the weekend at the Omni Parker House and enjoyed a great breakfast in their restaurant. On a cold January Sunday, the dining room was less than half full around 930 am. Steeped in history, the old room was beautifully maintained. We loved the white tablecloths, fine china, and cutlery at our table. Our server got us started with drinks before taking our order. My wife got decaf coffee, and I the largest glass of grapefruit juice ever. We both ordered the American breakfast of eggs, toast, bacon/sausage, and potatoes. Our breakfast arrived quickly and was beautifully presented. My scrambled eggs were in a small skillet surrounded by the sides on a large plate. It was very colorful, with bright reds, yellows, and browns. It tasted just as fresh as it looked. I especially enjoyed the peppers and onions mixed with the potatoes hiding under the eggs. Service was attentive and a team effort. We enjoyed everything about our breakfast.
We were able to walk up to the bar area and have the host get us some Boston Cream pies to go and he did so quickly. I cake part of the pie was soft but I wish there was more custard in the middle. It was also VERY expensive for what it was. It is a small single serving essentially for almost $20. read more
Came in for dessert right before closing and we were thankful for the opportunity to come in and grab a Boston Cream Pie. Delicious, light, not overly sweet, and the perfect size. I had another version of this and prefer the original much better. Lovely restaurant and very nice waitress. She even asked if she could take a picture of me and my mom. That was unexpected and very much appreciated. The waitress also mentioned there is a table where President Kennedy proposed to Jackie, but I forgot about it and I was already in the Uber back to the hotel when I remembered, so maybe next time I can view what she mentioned. Do yourself a favor and try the original! read more
While this is only a 3 star review, I would still recommend going to this historic restaurant filled with old school charm for the overall experience, even if the food and service was a bit lacking. The atmosphere is fascinating and stuck in a time capsule - there's a way to do "classic and charming" without coming across as outdated and stuffy and unfortunate Parker's came across as the later. Keep it classic but just give it a little TLC. Service wasn't great - it's not that it was stuffy, but for an empty restaurant it was pretty inattentive. The food was fine - but nothing was particularly memorable - even the famed rolls and the Boston Cream Pie have better versions elsewhere these days. Overall it's a meh - but still recommended experiencing for the history and the unique time capsule you step into. read more

Just because a place is famous for creating the first of something, doesn't mean it's the best! I searched their website before coming to Boston so I could get some Boston cream pie and Parker house rolls; I could only find hours from 7-2, but nothing specific about anything but the hotel. After walking over a mile from my hotel, I asked a doorman where to go, I was directed to a coffee shop. Nothing about the place said it was affiliated with Parker House, but they had mini Boston cream pies. I told the lady there I wanted a whole pie, but was told I needed to give 48 hours notice! Nothing on the website said that! I went inside to the restaurant and was told the same thing. I had no choice there but to get the mini version. I foolishly got 6 on my last day there at $10 each and wished I just went to a real bakery and got a better one. I understand that traditionally, there isn't any ganache on the sides, but these cakes are so bland and dry, the nuts on the outside just make it drier and it doesn't have any flavor. On the inside, there is barely any pastry cream. I will never go back there again! read more
So on my trip to Boston, I made it a point to make it to Parker's, specifically for the Boston Cream Pie. Wow!! Hands down the best one I tried while I was there. Not to Mention, Bob H. made the experience so much better by being so attentive and informative. He shared a wealth of knowledge and history in the short time I crammed this Pie down my throat. If you get the opportunity to meet him, talk to him, trust me! Now, to the pie. Boston Cream Pie - This dessert came out beautifully plated, on a bed of dessert suaves and paired with fresh berries, this delivered! Spider design on top, perfectly mastered Chocolate technique, the Pistachios complimented it extremely well, the Custard was soft and velvety, high notes of Vanilla. Everything you could ask for in the dish and very well presented. If you're in Boston and want to try the iconic, official state dessert, no need to venture any further than Parker's Restaurant. If you do, make it a point to compare to this masterpiece. Absolutely amazing. On top of that, the staff is amazing and classy, it's a beautiful restaurant, just wow. Enjoy!! read more

Home of the Boston cream pie. If you like Boston cream pie, you'll love the original at Parker's Restaurant. Beautiful and delicious. Service and atmosphere top notch. read more
Great place for breakfast, although there not so many options to choose from. Portions are big enough to keep the dinners full for good portion of they. They have nicest staff and will go above and beyond to make you dinning experiment, memorable. The dining room is historic, with old paintings and lots of dark wood. If you are staying at the OMNI Parker, do not miss this place. read more

Food was solid with very attentive service and classic dishes. For a tourist experience this was a fun stop albeit not a culinary destination. I had clam chowder (the cup was huge!) and Ceasar salad (slightly over dressed but tasty). My friend's Waldorf salad was full of variety and nicely sized. My daughter had the grilled chicken sandwich - ok not great. The Parker house rolls, invented here, were also just ok. The Boston Cream pie was tasty. Overall the atmosphere and food both felt stodgy. read more

We stopped here for the Boston cream pie and an Irish coffee and Saint Patty's day. It was fantastic. No complaints. read more
Breakfast review. Popped in to grab a quick bite and it was decent. The allure of Parker's easily is the decor and historic dining room which was a throw back to days gone by. The breakfast menu consists of omelettes, french toast and other staples. Food was decent but nothing to write home about. We did get the Boston Cream Pie to try - it was ok. Cake was a tad dry but the cream was good - not too sweet and the raspberry jam was a perfect complement to the pie. Service was excellent. Prices are actually reasonable for a hotel with a marquee restaurant attached to it. Probably better to come for dinner. Will try again for the nightcap. read more

Personally, I wasn't a fan. It was cool to go to such a historial spot. The staff was attentive and friendly. They were on top of water refills and I drink a lot so that was a plus: It was a clean beautiful spot. However, the food was just not there for me. I personally found nothing special about the rolls, they were even almost dry to me. I ignored other reviews and tried the corned beef hash. It had no flavor or and the texture was just unappetizing. The Boston crème pie was beautifully presented but not what was expected flavor wise. I struggle because if they invented it, I guess everyone else is "doing it wrong". It was very good, just not at all what I was expecting to eat. My son said the American breakfast was pretty good. Overall though, for what I paid, I was regretting my choices. read more
We only stopped in to try the rolls and Boston Cream Pie. Even so, the service was fantastic and friendly. This is the location that created the Parker House rolls and Boston Cream Pie. The pie was unique in that the outside was rolled in crushed walnuts which gave it a taste similar to coconut. Doubt the original recipes, but both were excellent. read more
I wanted to love this place but was so unimpressed. I'd once seen a show on the Food Network that highlighted the famous Parker House rolls and of course the Boston creme pie. It's possible that I just built it up in my head to be mind-blowing but it definitely was not. We had lunch reservations but it wasn't necessary upon arrival at 1pm. There were only a few tables. The restaurant is beautiful and obviously has some amazing historical elements. We were seated at a corner table near a beautiful set of stairs and a statue and told later that it was the table where JFK proposed to Jackie. I thought that was really cool and romantic! I could barely stand to wait for the rolls to arrive. We ordered a bottle of white wine but I can't remember the name. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the shortened lunch menu as well as the restaurant's history. She offered suggestions on entrees and informed us that the kitchen would close at 2pm. I ordered the lobster Mac n cheese. My boyfriend ordered the scallops. The rolls arrived and looked like store bought rolls. They weren't warm at all and were even a bit tough. So disappointing! My Mac n cheese was presented nicely and the lobster tasted fresh. Although, I probably wouldn't order the dish again as it was somewhat lack luster. My boyfriend's scallops were over-cooked and tough. We were excited to order the Boston creme pie which we thought would make up for the disappointment of the rolls. I'll avoid the suspense and say that it did not! Another beautiful presentation but did not taste like anything other than store bought or mass produced. We discussed the possibility that lunch items and rolls may be different that dinner items but can't confirm. Overall, a highly disappointing experience for such an iconic establishment. I'm not sure if I'd even bother returning. read more

Located in the Omni Parker House Hotel in Boston~ this was our first stop in Boston. We were excited to try the original Boston Creme Pie. It was not as expected as the harden chocolate top and 2 cake layers fell apart. Not much cream in between the layers. However my husband said his Monte Cristo sandwich and fries were delicious. It was a beautiful dining room with a classic feel. Chloe and Cesar were great servers. May have to try Flour Bakery for their Boston Creme Pie to compare. read more

I've read up on the history of Parker House Hotel and it's restaurant and I was happy to finally come in and have breakfast here. It was pretty quiet and I think there were only two other tables of guests when I came in. The waitress was really friendly and went to get my ice tea for me. I ordered the corn beef and hash with toast and sunny side up eggs on top. The hash was good, it had red peppers and onions. While I was there, the waitress shared a couple of fun bits about the restaurant. This was a place that Julia Child would frequent and sat at the table next to where I was sitting and a young upcoming chef, Emeril Lagasse was cooking. I also sat at the table (#40), where JFK had announced his engagement to Jackie. Food and good conversation, who could ask for more. I hope to eat here again soon! read more

I was pleasantly surprised when I came here for restaurant week. This is a very old and iconic restaurant in Boston. I would highly recommend for locals and tourist alike. Although, I would have to admit that the place does remind me of a scene from The Shining. It is a quiet and more intimate setting that may be suitable for a date or even work meeting. I have been here once before just for their infamous boston creme pie, which is where it originated. As for their food, the best buttersquash ravioli I have had in a while! They also serve warm dinners rolls which is a plus! The scallop scampi came with large well cooked scallops, the only critique is I wish there were more noodles in ratio to the scallops and a squirt of lemon would have completed the dish. My companion had the lamb which was delightfully tender. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Excellent, refined, classics. As a guest in this historic hotel it did not take me long to figure out where I should take supper or to be reminded as to how much I have been missing not making it a destination for a stand alone dining experience. The restaurant's main dining room is refined and the service impeccable. I opted for the pre- theater special because it offered everything I could want and because the price point presented an offer I could not refuse. The opening clam chowder was prepared in the classic New England style with nothing left to be desired. Each ingredient was perfectly balanced. The extra cream (noted on the menu) complimented the chowder and did not detract or dominate. The steak was exceptionally flavorful and a fine cut. The fingerling potatoes were cooked to perfection as were the vegetables - fresh and firm. The Boston Cream Pie was invented here in 1855. The few additions - fresh blueberries and blackberries and decorative finish took nothing away - it simply made the plate more elegant. I'll be back whether a guest or not! read more
