This is a 5 star worthy establishment. So it's nothing short of astonishing that they employ the worst server on the planet. I'm still slightly befuddled by this fact and am having difficulty coming to terms with it.
Ambiance and decor are 10/10. From the second you step into the sauna like foyer, the vibe is quality. LOVE the woodsy exposed log.
Food is consistently above average. The calamari, shishito poppers and flat iron steak should be ordered.
The beer battered chicken and burger could can use a little upgrading but are nonetheless appetizing.
On my first visit we had a delightful, pleasant and knowledgeable waitress who represented Parlor beautifully. She was one of the reasons I was eager to return and she spoke so highly of other items on the menu.
The second time around, we encountered a waitress who is a complete liability to the restaurant. This woman is capable of sabotaging the entire operation. She deserves Olympic gold in subpar customer service. You say thank you, she glares, you order something, she glares, you would hope that at least the glares would be consistent, but no, she then drops the hammer and never returns to your table again. NEVER AGAIN. Straight up disappears into the ether. You're forced to believe that such a disappearance is a blessing but the fact of the matter is-your curious about dessert and ultimately require the bill. No one to be found. 3/5 stars due to this outrageously unfortunate service.
