| - After much debate, I decided to review this place based on the food, and not on our waiter.
To start, our waiter messed up our bill BIG TIME and charged all of us twice and also made us wait a full hour before "sorting" our bills out. we were til until way past after the restaurant closed because of him.
After that short vent, I loved this restaurant. I came to Parallax for Zack Bruell's Restaurant Week so we had a 3 course menu. I ordered duck confit spring rolls, lemongrass noodles, and ginger creme brulee. In addition, i tried the sushi, trout, tiramisu, and banana foster. Now for the one by one review:
Duck confit spring rolls (5): yum! the one thing i always worry about when ordering duck is, how much will duck meat will the chef really give me? and this spring roll had a great amount of duck. The spring roll wrap was also very crispy and the flavors were right there.
Sushi (3): The sushi was good, but there wasn't a real WOW factor to it that I was hoping to get from the duck confit spring roll. It was tasty though!
Lemongrass Noodles (3.5): The noodles was soooooo delicious and almost tasted like it was hand made noodles. The broth of the lemongrass noodles was very very flavorful, but a tad bit salty. Then, all the pot roast and crab meat on the noodles just really bring it up a notch. The only sad part was.... I wasn't able to eat the broth itself because it was soooo salty and there was probably only about 5 noodles in my dish so after I was done eating the noodles, I felt like my delicious broth was left to waste because my palette couldn't take all the salt added to it.
Trout (4): i was impressed with the amount of trout given to us for this dish. There was 4 trouts (guessed how i felt after seeing my lemongrass noodles only had 4 little noodles), a bunch of rice and a bunch of every bit of awesomeness. The trout had a crunchiness to the fish skin that I really like, and it was just so worth it.
Ginger Creme Brulee (3): I'm harsh when it comes to creme brulee only because I'm not huge on sweets, but i ADORE creme brulee. I will order it at every restaurant I go to. WIth that said, the ginger creme brulee was great and it had just the right hint of gingerness in it. However, the carmelized sugar was a bit too thick for me and it was killing my teeth to bit through all that sugar. Other than that, it was a great creme brulee.
Banana Foster (4): YUM YUM YUM! First, if you want GREAT banana foster, go to velvet tango room. Otherwise, Parallax's isn't bit either! The little bit of tart in the banana complemented the ice cream... made the banana almost taste like plantains.
Tiramisu (3): meh. It was a good dessert, but not one i'd choose over the creme brulee or the banana foster. The tiramisu for my tasting, wasn't soft enough. The good thing, Parallax gave a BIG amount of it! :D
Overall (4): Zack Bruell, I'm slowly becoming a fan of yours! You were at Parallax during my dining experience, overseeing the employees. (A) I wish you came to our table to say hello because I would've loved to meet you and (B) I wish you stayed til our entire dining experience to better help out with the troublesome waiter.... or maybe give us a free meal for our 1 hour wait for our bill.
Parallax, I will be back!!!!!
