| - Overall, I enjoyed myself at The Parlor. I sat in the bar and waited for a friend to join. My drinks were good, the spinach salad was amazing, but the staff ... eh, only so-so. And the reality is that no matter how good the food and how free the drinks flow, if you don't have a good staff representating your establishment, the whole experience is tainted.
It took forever for someone to greet me and give me a menu. Seriously, forever. And they were absolutely not busy. It was 8pm on a Monday. I ordered my drink and then when I was joined by my friend, again, it took time for them to be greeted.
When my wine was gone, no one asked if I wanted another - which I did. Instead, at about 9:20pm, someone just dropped off our check and went back behind the bar. I would have ordered another round but felt they didnt want us there. We paid & then left.
The ambience is really great and sticks with a lot of the restaurants in this part of town. I love the area. Maybe someday I'll try again.
