| - Parallax, Parallax. Led by the salty, creative and adorable Zach Bruell, staffed with friendly and attentive servers and bartenders (almost too many to mention! Dax (with those oceanic blue eyes), Tiffany(cuter than sugar), Chris, Heather, and on and on) and professional to a "T". What are the best things about Parallax? Well, let's start when you walk in the door. The decor. Modern, spare, nothing to detract from the menu and the food. No bric-a-brac, no dust, no nasty carpeting. Just the sleek and inviting bar. You can eat at the bar. And that's fun, because the place attracts lots of regulars from the Tremont area during the week, and lots of downtown workers. Good people watching. We almost always sit at the bar unless we have a larger crowd; that way we can meet people, and we have met some great characters at that bar. Really interesting people. Authors, artists, bond traders, and undertakers. Just to name a few. Why not expand your horizons, eh? What else are you doing? Take advantage of the valet parking, by the way.
Let's take a look at the menu (after you get your drinks, of course). They always have two or three interesting specials, at least one of which is a special fish dish. Did I mention the full and expertly prepared sushi menu? Try the white tuna sashimi with fresh jalapeno. The cream soup of the day? The different and delightful side dishes? (latin style cream corn, mac and cheese, shoestring onion rings, and on and on). You could make a meal of the sides if you cared to. But why not look at the appetizers? One of the wonders of Parallax is that they are ALWAYS changing the menu. From week to week, if you look, you're going to find a new salad, a new appetizer, a new fish, and so on. You will never experience that "Oh, geez, it's the same old menu they had last month" feeling. There is usually a wonderful iteration of a seared scallop salad. Sometimes it might be those sparkling scallops on a bed of arugula with some crispy bacon and a creamy dressing. Sometimes it might be with Bibb lettuce and scrambled eggs with truffle. It doesn't matter what it is. Get it. It's good. If you like escargot, you have arrived at Nirvana, for the version that Parallax has on the menu is plump, juicy, tender, garlicky, buttery and topped with light, crispy crumbs. Get it. Eat it. Love it. Why don't you try the Thai seafood stew? Better than any Asian restaurant in town so far. Incredible. How about short ribs? Like 'em? Love 'em!! They come in a different preparation and with different sides every week. Every fish entree is incredible. Every appetizer is wonderful. What about the desserts? WOW! Bread pudding of the day! What's wrong with THAT? My favorite thing about Parallax is that you can make a varied meal out of small plates and wildly diverse tastes and YOU can control the experience. They care, it shows, and you win. Parallax. I'm going there right now, and I'll see you at the bar. Carnation in the lapel.
