   The menu at Parlour has changed and not for the better. It used to be a great place offering an array of tapas. Now it is run of the mill food; you can find meals like that anywhere. We are told the owners have changed and are chasing hats. Great shame and clearly it’s not working as the place was quiet on a Friday night. Update the cushions outside, add some decent variety to the menu and things may improve. A huge shout out to the staff who were excellent - incredibly professional and friendly.

   I like to dine at parlour. Good quality food. Didn’t have to wait to long as we were going to movies. Wish we had time to try desert. The waiter was very pleasant with nothing too much trouble. Will be coming back both with friend and husband.

   Love this place but missing the Spanish elements which used to prop up the menu which has a pretty limited range these days. Great place for a romantic drink and a chat though!

   The restaurant was closed! Very poor form. I checked at the hotel reception. They checked and could not explain why the restaurant was closed. I have received no apology or recognition of the Parlour’s failure to provide service or respond to my complaint. It was even more galling as one of the guests was visiting from Canada.

   Clearly there are issues around food quality and preparation that need to be resolved. The table staff made a great effort to keep customers happy but the waiting time for lunch was an hour and the portions and quality of the food were below standard. What is happening to the Parlour Bar? Perhaps new management needed?

   Had a lovely time catching up with a friend in a perfect environment. Food and service were great except for during the time the staff were getting ready for a wedding reception. Would have been better to add extra staff during this time if possible.

    The food and wines was excellent, when it was available, but we were disappointed with the unavailabilities. First came the bottle of wine which had apparently run out weeks ago and they hadn’t amended the wine list. Then there was the small share plate on a printed menu that was available and finally having asked for coffee twice at the end of our meal we were told that the coffee machine was closed for cleaning without any notice to diners first. Very disappointing!

    We booked Parlour for a quick drink before a dinner reservation round the corner. Staff were friendly and down to earth, and the cocktails were delicious. Only ordered a bowl of olives as we didn't want to spoil our appetites, but they were yummy also! Overall, a lovely spot with a nice relaxed yet sophisticated feel.

    We found sitting inside was abit chilly. The chicken burger and pulled pork toasties were tasty but dry, which would have been improved with abit of aioli or mayonnaise type sauce. The croquettes were inedible. The eggplant dish was delicious as was the papate. We enjoyed our lunch as it's a nice atmosphere to catch up with friends, but would hesitate to go back if it was for the food alone.

    Food was a little too burnt in places, too salty or lacked flavour. The kitchen door was hanging off its hinges so the restaurant sounded like a demolition site every 30 seconds.

    The Parlour has great atmosphere and decor that creates a relaxing setting. The menu choice is just right and is good value. Unfortunately the food wasn’t up to scratch. The rack of lamb was blue with the guest unable to eat it. The crispy egg plant was overdone and the stale flat bread that came with the fish needed a steak knife to cut. The server also put a plate of patatas in front of another guest calling it gnocchi. This had us very confused until the real gnocchi arrived. I can only think the server was inexperienced. So, the food quality on this visit was not up to scratch and causes me to think we won’t be rushing back until the team gets up to speed.

    Had dinner for 2 at Parlour after the movies at the Palace. Ambience was really good with a nice vibe happening. Our food was very good and the service was friendly and helpful. Would recommend for an enjoyable Saturday evening meal or when the weather is warmer for a cocktail before or after the movies.

    We went to Parlour on Sunday - which was one of the coldest and most miserable days of this year in Canberra. We wanted a warm, comfy couch to sit on, delicious food and tasty cocktails. We were not disappointed! The Sunday Sessions Menu is limited but fantastic. The service is fantastic. Great cocktail and wine selection, as well as beers and cider. Please do yourself a favour and order the Brussels Sprouts - don't just go for a burger and chips. These guys excel on their incredible tappas dishes. They were out of this world! Best date day ever.

    ParlourResponded on August 2, 2022We are so glad you had lovely time with us, thank you for the kind words. Hope to see you soon!
