Amazing dining experience. The decor is very cool, the servers are friendly and knowledgeable, the food was fantastic and the drinks were amazing! We were celebrating my wife’s birthday and they went above and beyond with complimentary champagne and sang her happy birthday! Such a great night.

Our evening at Parlour was fantastic. Celebrating a friend's birthday and the service was outstanding from the moment we walked in the door. Thank you to all the staff that contributed to a lovely evening...especially our server 'Just Dylan' who was very knowledgeable and fun to chat with. Will definitely return for another occasion to enjoy the cozy atmosphere and delicious food. Thanks so much!

Excellent food, service, and ambience, acoustics made it tough to hear conversations around our 5 people group, at the round table. I found it a bit expensive, but to be honest, prices are just up everywhere. Great evening had by all.

This was my second time at parlour. First off, the service was wonderful and attentive. The cocktails were well crafted and delicious. The space is beautiful and well curated. The food is where Parlour falls flat. I was with a group of 8 and the general consensus was that the dishes were bland and underwhelming. I had the duck which really tasted of nothing and came with 2 halved round potatoes (small). My partner got the burger which was dry. Meals are expensive for the quality. I would go back for cocktails. Overall disappointing because Parlour has a lot of potential and could be wonderful.

We were pleasantly surprised by our first visit to the Parlour. Now wish we had been coming regularly. The atmosphere, service and quality of the drinks was exceptional and make for a great value. The story of it being a former funeral parlour made for a great place for our night cap before going to sleep on Saturday. RECOMMEND!

Food, service, and decor are all spectacular! The dining spaces all feel cozy and in your own little bubble. Towards the end of our service though, the noise level in the restaurant became almost unbearable and none of us could hear each other. Maybe it was just where our table was but the acoustics were a bit overwhelming.

This was my 3rd or 4th visit & it did not disappoint. We were a group of three & started with a the house made chips, devilled eggs & a dz oysters - all delicious! We then shared the Brisket Dinner for 2 which was really yummy. Cocktails & wine were great too! By the glass options for wine was not huge but fully met our needs & cocktail list was super. Thank you to Parlour for providing a gorgeous, chill dining experience with style & grace:) We will be back for sure!

Food is always excellent but took over an hour to arrive and was not hot. Two separate servers reported that the bar tender had a family crisis and had to leave. Perhaps best to keep it general to shortage of staff or emergency vs family crisis. Just a thought. Appreciate their honesty but maybe best for confidentiality to keep it vague.

Average food, quite bland in taste, no wow factor. It was just OK. Lots of dishes just swam in tasteless broth which was unnecessary. Tuna appetizer had an interesting taste combo pairings but that "water" on the plate didn't help. The ambience is far from cozy, quite unexpected though. Interesting for a one-time experience but that's about it. Service was excellent, happy to report :)

Would go if you want a snack or drink on a patio. Tuna app was good, cocktails/mocktaiks good although they came at different times and were very slow, mains (fish and chips, brisket) were fine but have had better. Crème brûlée was good but it was a surprise that it was not described as strawberry on the menu, banana rum bread pudding ok, trifle was disliked by a child. While staff were very friendly, the worst offence was the very slow staggered service e.g., getting desserts many minutes before coffee; whisky as my after-dinner treat came after everyone had long finished their desserts/coffee and when we had already told them never mind (it was that long). Dishes and cocktails were very pretty. Overall: ok for a stopover but not recommended for a full meal.

Sumptuous food perfectly matched with delightful service. Volume can be a concern for folks who are hard of hearing but we made do. Can't get enough of their clam chowder. Table guests raved about the beef brisket and pan seared fish. Opted out of booze and was delighted by their kombucha — a fizzy, light as spring (and not too tangy) delight.
