    Really nice and funky interior with great ambient lighting. It felt cozy with lots of different areas for different types of vibes (couches, tables, at bar). The service was fantastic and we enjoyed the food and had a great local wine recommendation.

    Booked a dining seating (specifically) for my birthday, it wasn't ready at the booked time, admittedly they gave us a complimentary drink at the bar and then sat us at a couch - not a dining seat and table. Even when you book online they actually say couches are *not* appropriate for dining yet that's where they put us. It diminished the experience unfortunately.

    What a wonderful restaurant. A group of 6 of us had a leisurely lunch on Saturday as a surprise gathering for my wife's birthday. The food was great, the staff were brilliant and were so helpful for the afternoon. Everything went so smoothly. We shared the small plates and they were fantastic, the cauliflower was spectacular. Get it! The wines and beers were also fantastic. We'll definitely be back. Thanks to the team there, we really appreciated your efforts.

    We had a delicious meal at Parlour and walked 2 minutes from Ovolo Hotel to have dinner. The eggplant entree and salmon tartare were memorable! The service was very personable and professional. Our waiter directed us to choose a MADA Chardonnay which we thoroughly enjoyed. The dessert menu looked amazing, but sadly we were full.

    Thank you so much for the kind words Cater! Would love to see you again soon, hopefully with room for dessert this time!

    Excellent food/drinks and well priced for the quality meal you get. Has very good seating options depending if you want something more formal or casual. Friendly staff and the restaurant is decently sized but not enormous. Tables are spaced out so you don’t feel like your sitting with the people around you which is nice. It’s a a large space so can be a bit cool in winter so suggest a jacket/something warm if going for dinner on a cold night.

    Thanks for the taking the time to leave us a review Adel, hope to see you again soon!
