April 2015. After a film at the Hotdocs, we wanted to have a nice casual dinner. We found Parlor Foods on our mobile app. Nice overall, would love to come back to spend more time with drinks and more food.
Venue: Very interesting entrance. Interior nice and comfortable with some interesting pieces of furniture. 8/10
Food: Frites and Sauce -- portion was generous. The homemade sauce was good. To me, it's like mayo and mustard together but I really don't know what exactly the sauce was made of. Regardless, it was good. For mains, I had the Seafood Linguini. Presentation was very nice. Taste was light. The seafood (fried oyster, fried smelts, octopus) gave good flavours. Portion was suitable (not too small but not big). I tried a bit of my partner's pork. I loved it as I found the meat was cooked perfectly and the sauce was not strong. It worked very well for me. My partner found it bland. Different taste preference? 8/10
Service: Very friendly staff especially the gentleman who greeted us and brought us to the table. It's wonderful to feel welcome when you step into a restaurant. Our server was also very nice. She took time to answer our questions (e.g. the name and concept of the restaurant) and told us the special of the evening. 9/10
Overall: I would love to go back and try more dishes. After reading others' reviews, I want to try the Charcuterie board and some fancy cocktails.
