My sister got the steak frites, and she enjoyed it. I got the falcon fries, which were absolutely delicious and mildly spicy, a perfect seasoning to them. I also got the Grandma Detroit Pizza. At first I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy it because it was different, but after my first few bites, I fell in love. The bread was thick and quite crunchy, but it was tasty. And the spicy chili flake sauce was too good to pass on. It wasn't too spicy. The service was fantastic and kind. The waitress that served us was very kind and didn't disturb us when we were busy eating. The ambiance was very cozy and relaxing. It wasn't very loud when we were served, making conversations easier to make. And the warm lighting gave us good vibes. All in all, an amazing first time trying out the restaurant that left a very good impression on us.

I've been a few times to this restaurant that opened up about a year and 1/2 ago. My cousin lives…read morein Modena, so we had to check it out together initially, and I've gone back a few other times with friends. But, I've decided I'm not going back anymore. It's just too expensive. Honestly $25.00 for a burger and fries is just so unreasonable, and all of the sandwiches are about the same price. The cocktails are insanely expensive and the beer is exorbitantly priced. Here they are brewing the beer themselves - there's no "middle man" to pay, and I was charged $11.00 last time for a 10 ounce pour ! The poor value caused me to hold off on ordering a second serving. And then I just decided not to because it was a rip-off. Also, on my last experience, I ordered a flatbread pizza and it was not good at all. First of all, when you hear the word "flatbread", you're thinking something on the order of crust that is definitely no thicker than 1/2 inch, BUT, this "flatbread" was THICK like Sicilian style pizza and that's not what I wanted at all. I asked the server about it, and she confirmed "Yeah, that's just how the kitchen serves them." It was hard to eat. The crust was super crunchy (no chewiness at all like a thick bread should have) and all of the ingredients on top were falling off with every bite.

Came here with my SIL and had a wonderful lunch! The buffalo cauliflower is delicious and was…read moresurprised that it was not breaded. Honestly so so good, we didn't even miss any frying plus better for the waist line. My chicken salad was chock full of Cajun chicken and bacon with hard boiled eggs and cheese along with all the veggies. The salad had the dressing all mixed in but not too much which was perfect. If you care about that, you can order it on the side, I am sure. My SIL got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and couldn't have loved it more! Great flavor and lots of crunch alongside fresh fresh-cut French fries. A great place to sit and talk with great food. Our waiter was attentive and so nice. When my SIL forgot to ask for no salt on the fries -- they accommodated her with a fresh batch. I am super appreciative. We will be back!

Walked into a homey space with many booths on the sides for privacy, friendly service and a lively bar. My kind of scene. Apparently the chef knows what he's doing at this establishment! I love me some dry rub baby back ribs; the half rack I ordered was finger lickin' good! Very little fat, just lean delicious tender pork coated with a bit of glistening sauce. I chose to kick up my taste experience using the generous condiments on the table, combining the sweet BBQ sauce with hot mustard. Perfecto! Opted for house made slaw and baked beans as my sides, they were so flavorful. I loved that the slaw wasn't drowning in mayo, just enough to make it moist. Partner got a cheeseburger and fries, he said it was excellent. I pilfered a few of his fries and indeed they were fantastic - crispy,thin and fresh. Plenty of parking, friendly service, reasonable prices, generous portions. A real gem!

When the waiter brought out the cup of chili I thought oh no not again! However it was the right thing. Was very meaty and hardy as well. The sourdough onion rings were excellent. Perfectly executed.

Did sit outside with the puppy, surprisingly enough had the entire outdoor section to ourselves. Waiter and staff were good about not forgetting their only outdoor diners. As far as NYS BBQ goes this place is great. Give it a try

We were warmly greeted upon arrival at the restaurant by a very kind gentleman, who we later…read morelearned was the owner. The space is tastefully decorated with nautical and ocean-inspired elements, featuring navy blue and white walls. Our waiter was immediately aware of my food allergies and my husband's celiac condition. He guided us through the menu with confidence, offering thoughtful recommendations based on our dietary restrictions and personal tastes. Many of the dishes could be customized in terms of preparation and side choices, which we appreciated. For drinks, my husband ordered his usual--a margarita--while I decided to try something new and went with the Backyard Iced Tea. His margarita was freshly made and even better served in a Yankees glass. The Backyard Iced Tea was fantastic--refreshing, not too sweet (which I loved), and it truly tasted like iced tea with a hint of lemon. Unlike a Long Island Iced Tea, it wasn't overly alcoholic or sugary, which suited my preferences perfectly. For dinner, my husband ordered one of the specials: Cajun-style red snapper with a side of sautéed spinach and a house salad (no croutons, with blue cheese dressing). I chose the broiled trio--lobster tail, shrimp, and cod--along with sautéed spinach and a house salad dressed with balsamic vinaigrette. Everything was delicious. The salads were fresh, and the balsamic dressing was excellent. My seafood was perfectly cooked and seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika, then served with lemon and clarified butter. My husband's snapper was outstanding--probably the best I've ever tasted--and the sautéed spinach complemented both of our dishes beautifully. Overall, our meals were phenomenal. When we're craving seafood, we'll definitely be coming back.

We ordered the…read moreCajun chicken wings, fried okra, Parish Grilled Cheese, Classic BLT, French fries, a Firework cocktail, and beers. Overall, the food and drinks were good, and the restaurant itself was clean with a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately, what should have been a pleasant lunch ended on a very disappointing note. When it came time to pay, our group split the check. Together, we left an 18% tip for our server, which we felt was fair for the service we received. As we were leaving, the server stopped us near the entrance--in front of other guests--and asked if something had been wrong because she didn't understand why we had left such a "poor tip." It was an uncomfortable and embarrassing interaction. We politely explained that the total tip was 18% and even walked through the math with her so she could see how we had calculated it. Instead of simply accepting the explanation, she told us that if we wanted, she could call the manager because they "don't welcome people who don't tip well." At that point, I responded that the comment was extremely rude and that we would not be returning. We haven't been back since. It actually took me quite a while to write this review. On another occasion, I mentioned this experience to the bartender at a nearby bar after she had recommended The Parish to me. She told me the same owner operates both businesses and said she would pass the feedback along. I don't know whether that conversation ever reached the owner, but it encouraged me to finally share my experience publicly. It's unfortunate because the food, drinks, and atmosphere were enjoyable. However, no customer should be confronted at the door or made to feel embarrassed over what was, in fact, an 18% tip. A single interaction can outweigh an otherwise good meal, and unfortunately, that's exactly what happened here.
