    We had another wonderful meal at The Penney on Friday night. The service from Janessa and Kristy was friendly, efficient and warm. The food was delicious, highlights being the mushroom dip and the whole fish (this may have been a special) and the incredible chocolate pudding. Excellent mocktails too! The jazz band provided fun background music and fit really well with the ambiance and setting. We felt thoroughly spoilt!

    The Penney has a cool vibe. Love the location and the decor. So excited that they’re bringing music in…albeit a bit loud. Will definitely go back

    The prices seem high for the quality of the food and the taste. Things should really be exceptional at this price point. A $50 steak should really be excellent. Not just OK. French fries as an appetizer should be so delicious and hand cut not a frozen product. quite disappointed in the service and attention to our table again at this price point you’re kind of asking for more attention and service we were one of only maybe four tables on a Wednesday night .
    The Penney & ParlourResponded on May 13, 2024
    Thank you for taking the time to review your meal. We are disappointed to see that you had an experience that was below the standard that we would expect. We have certainly discussed the service levels with our front of house team. I can though reassure you that we do make everything in house including our fries. I'm sorry that you did not get that impression on this occasion but do hope that you will return in the new season to give us another chance.

    The band was playing and dancing was happening when we were there for dinner. It was fun, but probably better to sit on the terrace if you want to have conversation with your table mates. Otherwise, the service was top notch. My dinner was the Steak Diane which was delicious. My friends ordered the scallops risotto and Jidori chicken which they said was good. My Tiramisu Espresso martini was delicious, but my two friends said their extra dirty martinis were not as good as they had anticipated.

    we went for the music and to hear “fun with Dick and jane” which were fabulous as always so it was loud but it’s supposed to be.  I had the brussels sprouts and a salad, both were very good. I think the wait staff was a bit overloaded with all the people that showed up, but we all got fed happily. 
    The Penney & ParlourResponded on April 23, 2024
    We're so glad you enjoyed the evening! It was certainly a very busy evening, Dick and Jane have proved very popular! We hope to welcome you back again very soon!

    We thought the ambiance was very cool Loved the art display leading into the restaurant the cool bar and decor. There was a jazz band playing when we arrived and while I love jazz we felt it was too loud for the size of the space and wish the volume could have been turned down. The menu was fun and the food was very good. The cocktail menu was wonderful. We do wish as the weather warms in the valley come spring there would be more lighter fare offered for those not in the mood to eat a full on meal. That being said the food was delicious.

    Thanks so much for your thoughtful review. We will certainly take your comments on board with regards to the music and the menu. We do hope to welcome you back again soon.
