While I still have some of the same complaints about Parallax, I am reviewing again to raise the rating to 4 stars. This is mostly due to dishes I have tried recently, and the quality of service.
Last night I dined at Parallax. I arrived at 10:30 when their kitchen closes at 11. However, our server Chris was very friendly and gave no indication that it was a bother. He gave us great recommendations on wine and was very friendly throughout the meal.
I ordered the chicken. It is almost exactly the same as the chicken breast at L'Albatros, except with different accoutrements. It was very good. We also had the gnocchi for an appetizer. It wasn't quite what I expected, because of the brown butter. It made the gnocchi oilier than I am used to, but the flavor was very good.
Because it was late at night, there weren't very many tables. We ate in the lounge area which I think is a little more comfortable than the main dining room can be when it is busy.
I am enjoying Parallax more each time I visit.
