   Seriously some of the best food in the area. We drive 40 minutes to eat here, and EVERY. SINGLE. BITE. is good, every time. We want to eat every appetizer they have. They've got some meaty entrees... cooked flawlessly. The foie gras? Yes. Pork belly? Have mercy, wow. Cocktails are amazing too. Thoughtfully crafted, visually and gustatorily intriguing. Love this place. Unassuming spot in a strip mall kind of area - but don't let that fool you. TOP NOTCH FOOD AND DRINK.

   We had the pleasure of having another phenomenal meal @ Parlor House. Chef Ryan is a very talented and we are very fortunate to be able to participate in his culinary masterpieces so close to home.

   So we started with pomme frites, the Bernaise sauce was not good and the fries were burnt. Very disappointing. I then ordered the tempura shrimp which were good but the presentation was underwhelming and the dish was overpriced. My friend ordered a drink, there was no alcohol that she could identify. But the biggest disappointment was the bananas foster, it was an overripe banana swimming in a watered down caramel sauce. It was supposed to have whipped cream but it did not. We did order ice cream to go with it that was served on the side. We will not be returning to Parlor House, I don't see how they can stay in business. We have dined at this restaurant in the past but the current owners need to rethink what they are doing.

   Regina, after speaking with you on the phone and trying to have a sincere conversation about how your experience was, I can honestly say I don't care if you ever come back because I don't want someone like you in my establishment. I suggest you learn proper restaurant etiquette. All you are doing by this review is hurting a small family owned business. I was willing to refund your entire meal, but after being so insulted by your negative, entitled comments, I am happy to keep your money knowing you will never return. -Ryan Steffensmeier- Owner/Chef

   Our first time eating here and it reached all the expectations! The birthday dinner for my husband was exactly what he wanted so that's a huge win for me. The filets were excellent, he loved his french onion soup and devoured the baguette. Servers were friendly and attentive.
