“Great spot in River North! Fun, lively place—perfect for a casual night out. The calamari and hand cut frites were solid starters, and the Sgt. Pepper pizza was definitely the highlight with that subtle truffle flavour. Don’t skip dessert—the Go Shorty ice cream is worth it. A bit loud, but in a good way… you’ll forget about it once the food hits.”

“Gavin was so sweet and accommodating!! We appreciated his patience with us! We love Parlor and Gavin! Thank you so much!!!”

“Stopped by this place while visiting the city yesterday and it was a great experience! We didn’t try any food, just had some beers but they were great and the beer menu was impressive. Brendan was a great bartender! Gave us recommendations and friendly conversation throughout the whole time there. Would definitely go back when we are in town again!”

“Happy hour specials were great and the food was delicious. I wasn't a fan of the prickly pear margarita because it was too syrupy, but otherwise great service. The sauces that come with the fries were so good!”

“Our group got build your own omelettes, short ribs, and the seasonal French toast. Everything was amazing, but the short ribs were the start of the show. The French toast was also phenomenal. On top of that, the service was excellent. I’ve always had wonderful experiences at Parlor, and after trying their brunch for the first time, I will be returning even more often.”

“We made a reservation, and got seated right away, and we had a great table. Server was very attentive, and the pizza was excellent. We got four different kinds of pizza, and each had its own unique taste. 2 people could have split 1 pizza, but we will also enjoy the leftovers. Local beer is on tap, which we appreciate.”

“The Honey Boo Boo pizza and Blackberry cocktail were fantastic!”

“Excellent food, the dessert taco is an absolute must, and the atmosphere and service was great!”

“A great spot for some thin crust pizza! Tasted like New York style! A great casual bar to get a pie, or some apps and watch the games! Katie was our server and she took incredible care of us, made great food recommendations and was super attentive! Will definitely be back for some more beers and apps!”

“Julio was the best waiter ever!!!! Food and atmosphere were also amazing!”
