Pour me a glass and bake me a pie, cuz I'm gonna be here for a while.
Though humble and almost unnoticeable on the outside, Parlour has a beautiful interior with great acoustics. Lots of bustling ambient noise to make you feel like you're part of a scene but spaced out enough that you don't have to listen to your neighbor's conversation. Relaxed enough that you can stay a while as well. They've done a terrific job with the design and decor, which contibutes to it's "chill" factor.
The food has always been excellent. Even without cheese, these pizzas are stellar. Anything with those roasted wild mushrooms piled on top is worth ordering. They once had a vegan appetizer special that was to die for and I've been waiting for it's reappearance. The wine and cocktails are very enjoyable - and I'm not a cocktail person. These bartenders know what they're doing.
That last star didn't quite make the cut because of the spotty service. Not terrible service, just somewhat inattentive and aloof, though I'm starting to think that's a trend in hip Phoenix restaurants. Overall, I love it here. For the price and the atmosphere, it's a terrific place to spend a few hours chatting up a storm.
