    Not a quaint Victorian Parlour, it’s a misnomer. Perhaps good for drinks and bar, but not for a meal or a special occasion. Freezing cold downstairs with tables inside the exit doors. Hostess gave brunch menus and just left— no other menus nor the right menu. Server valiantly tried to make up for lackluster start — we left after a delayed appetizer etc start

    My steak was dry and not hot. it seemed as though it was pre-cooked and waiting for someone to order it. My kids loved the biscuits. The oysters were good

    Brunch food was delicious and cooked perfectly, but everyone of my party of four thought that their dish was underseasoned. Once we lightly salted everything, it was perfect. Portions were fairly large and filling. Corn pudding side was fantastic as was the crab bisque. Service was poor - manager and server spent most of the time chatting with the bartender at the end of the bar. No one checked after the food was served to see if everything tasted ok. They comped the sides and gave us a free dessert, but the poor service really marred what could have been a great experience, given the delicious food. Oh, and not having Bloody Marys available for brunch was really unforgivable. The food will bring us back to give them another chance, but they’ve been open since February (brunch since April or May). The service kinks should’ve been worked out by now.

    My first trip here. The dining room was closed due to lack of reservations for opening the upstairs restaurant. The bar was cold and noisy. Later, they opened the dining room for another foursome. Unfortunately for our waiter, the bar and restaurant were understaffed. The rolls we purchased tasted re-heated. Our drinks were forgotten, likely due to the understaffing. Entrees were salty. Overall, a poor experience where we weren’t treated very well and the food didn’t make up for it. Next.

    First visit to PV & it will not be our last.The decor & ambiance are classy & very unique, the food & cocktails rival any I’ve had in the DMV, & the service friendly, Uber profession & bordering on world class. The GM, Mr McCree greeted my wife & I with a welcoming smile & warmth that is too often absent from dining establishments where patrons are made to feel insignificant & sometimes a bother. Rest assured, this will not be your experience at PV. While we did not have a chance to meet the chef, we sampled several items from the menu & they were all delicious. Our waitress was so very sweet & friendly. She took great care to ensure we had everything we needed & teamed well with her waitstaff colleagues to provide 5-star service. The bar manager & bartenders are true professionals who don’t just pour drinks, but bring a wealth of knowledge to their craft that results in an opportunity for engaging conversation while enjoying masterfully made cocktails. The selection of spirits provides something for every palate & budget, & there’s food offerings to meet all tastes & budgets. If I could give PV 10 stars I would. By far the best experience I’ve had at a restaurant in DC in quite some time. Will definitely be back & highly recommend this spot!!

    The fried chicken was superb as well as the corn pudding and slaw. My husband ordered the scallops. I tasted the cheese grits that came with them and I didn’t care for them much at all. I usually love cheesy grits. For dessert we split the Ebony and Ivory pots de creme. The portion was very small. Maybe enough for only one person.

    Perfect brunch experience. Atlas has really outdone itself with this restaurant. Being a foodie from New Orleans qualifies me to say..... the gumbo is top notch. The cream of crab soup is a must have this fall as temperatures drop. The chef obviously has some southern roots with the carefully curated menu items and I'm here for it all!!!!! Currently my favorite place to dine in DC. I can't sign off with mentioning the excellent service I received from Faith. Thank you for bring the art of hospitality back into dining.

    Fried oysters were salty, but crispy. She crab soup was delicious and full of crab. Friend's raw oysters were good. His diver sea scallops were a tad overcooked, but flavorful. My rockfish was very tasty in an interesting broth-like sauce. Service was extremely friendly and attentive, but we waited quite a long time to get our appetizers, then for the entree, then for our after dinner drinks. A bit slow in between courses for sure.

    Highly recommend this spot! Did 3 stars for value only because it's a *little* bit expensive, but want to emphasise that they *are* offering high-quality food, ambience, and service. Probably recommend the prix fixe versus a la carte if you're looking for more value. Couldn't have been happier with our server (Michelle) and her support staff, as well as the overall feel of the dining room. Cool mix of patrons, all stylish and enthusiastic diners! It feels like a hidden spot you want to keep to yourself, but don't because you want them to succeed and keep going. :)

    My gf and myself went to Parlour Victoria after I went with some friends before hand. On this visit Lauren greeted us so warmly. We had the amazing fried lobster and boiled oysters, they were delicious. Then we had a long wait and turned out to be a mix up in the kitchen with our main course. We had no issues waiting because we were enjoying the amazing play list they had playing. But our main course came and it was the wrong order. When I tell you the staff was just so amazing! I mean TOP TEIR customer service! I wasn’t feeling well so I wasn’t drinking but I got an amazingly refreshing drink and they topped off my gf’s drink. Then we got their crab soup (sorry I don’t remember the name of it), when I tell you it was AMAZING!!! Chunks of crab! And so flavorful but also light! OMG we loved that soup! Then our steaks came! Mouth watering! Just melted in our mouths. It was worth the wait. So good! And we had the apple crisp dessert! Delicious! 10000/10! We WILL be coming back! Lauren and Andy you all are amazing people. Thank you for being such great sports with us. We loved it here and y’all are a big reason why. Thank you again.

    Went for restaurant week. The food was terrible. Even the entrees had an unnaturally sweet taste to them - as if they had been doused with sugar. I had the branzino, which was skin-on but lacked the crispiness you’d expect - owning to the weird runny rice underneath it that was also just poorly cooked. My friend had a dish with lentils, which was marginally better. The desserts tasted as if it came out of a package - my friend had the mousse and I had some cake that was just as bad. Afterward we had to go to the Peach Cobbler spot around the corner for redemption. That saved the night. I also had a do-over meal at a restaurant I love the next day. I was skeptical about how I was able to make a reservation last-minute, but it looked like there had been good reviews, so I went against my better judgment. I wish we’d checked out some nearby places that I’ve been before but know are good. This place reminds me of the adage not to trust hotel restaurants.

    My friend and I went to lunch here on a Wednesday during Restaurant Week. I absolutely loved this fairly new restaurant! The ambiance and decor was vey inviting. Service was very good and the food was superb. I had the gumbo, which was the best I’ve ever had. My friend had the hush puppies which were delicious, very different from those served at chain restaurants. We both had the monkfish which was well prepared and tasty. I will definitely come back again!
