| - Dear Chef Bruell,
It's time to come around to Parallax and check in on the dishes coming out of your kitchen. I'm serious. I even signed up for yelp to write this review just because I was THAT disappointed in the meal that I just had tonight. Yes, that's right, this is my first ever review - my apologies that it is a negative one. Since I have had many many wonderful meals in Cleveland that I could rave about - and will, just to even it all out. First off, we had salads, I was informed after receiving the goat cheese salad that it is your best selling salad. I can see that, but not to my taste. I had to really adjust to it - it was sweet and overdressed. The goat cheese itself was delicious - but who can go wrong with breaded and fried goat cheese? Still, are the cranberries and candied walnuts really necessary? To be really frank, everything tasted that way - overdone and over-thought.. My partner had the beet salad, it was dusted with blue cheese - there were a few large pieces - but most of it was this sort-of dandruff of blue cheese. It really looked terrible. The flavors worked together fine, though nothing special. Then the main entrees came and that's when the real trouble began. I ordered the swordfish. I'm still looking for it. It was like a weiner schnitzel of fish - sashimi size. Poor swordfish. And technically it wasn't "stuffed", rather it was rolled. The stuffing was supposed to be crab and corn - it was more like breadcrumbs and a few kernels of corn. I honestly couldn't find the crab. Nor could I taste any of what was supposed to be in the dish because there was a ladle full of red pepper "soup" over the entire dish. Oh! and lest I forget the chard - overcooked and more like canned vegetables at the bottom of the plate that had been stewed to a point of mush. My guest had the walleye - where was the middle of it? The pieces of fish were literally two fingers in width. I'm not sure it's even legal to catch walleye that small. The fish was cooked perfectly - which is more than i can say for the swordfish. However, we did not order corn chowder with a crouton of walleye. The beans were the best part of the dish. How sad.
I can't emphasize enough what a terrible meal it was. I'm sure there are folks out there that won't understand what I'm saying - and that's fine, everyone has different taste. I don't need big portions, and I can handle unusual combinations. But nothing worked, and I felt overcharged for a meal that I didn't enjoy at all. Truly your restaurant is currently completely over-rated. I hope you (and readers of yelp) take this to review to heart.
