    January 8,2025 The food was fantastic and first rate service. I appreciated the beautiful holiday decorations that really brightened up a cloudy day! Very nicely done and I’m so so glad you kept them up and didn’t wisk them down immediately after New Years like so many places do.

    It was a good dining experience. . . Roomy and the place was not too loud. I had mushroom risotto (which I shared with my son) and my husband had ribeye and a chocolate mousse we shared after the meal. Both were cooked to perfection. Our server was exceptional. We’re glad to hear that they will resume their lunch hours. We will definitely go back.

    We have been to the original Parlour in Minneapolis many times so we had high expectations and this new Parlour delivered! It has a lot of the same fun and energetic vibes we were looking for, and of course the Parlour burger! The staff was attentive and helpful. The "Who you Callin' Jerk" cocktail was fantastic! It's a fun cozy spot and we are excited to go back
