I called ahead of time, but they don’t take same day reservations. The man I spoke with was courteous and helpful. Although it was packed, the server noticed me and quickly got me a table. I had a great experience here! Our server had trouble speaking English, but I say that to bring more emphasis to the fact that she is absolutely lovely and made so much effort to make recommendations for dishes. I love great customer service!! Great service, food, and ambiance. It is pretty loud here as expected, so consider that for the vibes you’re going for. But skip the salmon appetizer. Not worth.
Had a fantastic meal at Parla XXI! The 6 oz steak with fries was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The Spanish octopus was tender and well-seasoned, and the crispy calamari was light and delicious. Great atmosphere and excellent service! Highly recommend. Monica was our server, she’s the best!
As someone who doesn’t LOVE alcohol, this was the best bar I’ve ever been too. The mystery drinks were such a fun experience that my family and I all loved, and our waitress Monica was the best!! She was so personal able and friendly 10/10 recommend
We stopped by for a quick bite, and the place did not disappoint. While the food menu was limited, the drink menu offered a great selection. The ambiance and decor inside the restaurant were lively and enjoyable, adding to the overall experience.
Came for dinner on a whim that ended up being a highlight for our weekend. I'm honestly surprised that it's not rated much higher. This restaurant has so much personality! The owners created a great experience and really paid attention to the little details that made a big difference. For example, the hilarious menus with drawings and recommendations from people who had previously eaten there. The drinks are the real star of the show here. There have a lot of amazing premaid cocktails, but the ability to have a drink personalized to your favorite ingredients is truly amazing. Another fun pull factor is their dungeon master membership, where your fate is decided by rolling a 20 sided die. Each number is tied to a different innovative drink that isn't on the menu. While some of the food was great, others were average. But honestly, I'm not deterred by that because I think the draw to come back is more about exploring the variety of drinks. Also, my personal recommendation is to sit by the bar for a much more fun and intimate experience!
Sat outside on a warm day. The lobster ravioli was delicious. Fries were good.
Pasta was top class. I took shrimp carbonara and loved it! My partner took shrimp scampi and loved it as well. Their baby cannolis just hit the right spot (so mouth watering!)
