My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our happy hour at Parallax yesterday. It was surprisingly open at the bar and we sat down immediately. The decor is much like Table 45 (Another Bruell place), clean and modern.
Our bartender/server was extremely attentive and answered our every question about the sophisticated menu. We strongly recommend the "Corpse # 2" cocktail, and our bloody Mary was perfectly spicy. We started with the light and crispy Calimari, probably top 2 in Cleveland. The short rib pot stickers were absolutely worth a second trip on their own. The bed of soy infused shredded cabbage below and drizzle of Siracha above the four large stickers really brought out the flavors. Then our spicy tuna roll arrived and was delicious as well.
The wild card was the chicken livers. My husband absolutely loved them. I prefer the more fried approach. But he really thought the texture, the sauce, and the rhubarb cube thingies (they had a fancy name) were well worth the splurge, even though we were stuffed from our first three selections.
With $2 beers and reasonable cocktail and wine glasses, the food here makes this a cannot miss stop for happy hour. Another gem in Tremont!
We shall return!
