This is my favorite place in San Clemente! The pizza is so good, we love the fennel sausage one! The calamari is also crispy and delicious and the bread and butter basket is really really good. I tried the pasta for the first time and it was definitely good, but I do prefer the pizza. Service is always so nice especially Hunter at the bar. It can get quite busy so either make a reservation or get there early. Or sit at the bar like we do! read more

My fiancé and i love this place. We've had the pleasure of having Griffin as our server twice and he's amazing. Great food great cocktails. 10/10 We love the mushroom pizza & the meat lovers Arugula salad is also so delicious and can't forget those wings! read more

San Clemente: Lovely and lively, The Parlor replaced Brick restaurant and a nice replacement it is. Fabulous service from start to finish. Very attentive without being intrusive. Ordered were a Pepperoni pizza and the Margherita pizza. Margherita is always too bland for me no matter where I have it. I have to go for pepperoni always on my pizza, and it was tasty. I would've added mushrooms, but it wasn't my turn. Nice crust, flavorful, very thin Woodfired pizza. Just a note-share and eat it there. Too floppy for leftovers. My preference. Tagliatelle Bolognese was upscale flavor with the right spice and totally 100% agreed with my taste buds. I am a fan of thinner pasta, but this is how it's done at Parlor. Funny, it was extremely long strands of pasta so have your knife ready. Unlike the pizza, it made great leftovers, and I thought it tasted even better the next day. So I don't recommend sharing it. Ha! Make reservations, find parking or take the trolley when it's running. read more

Another great meal at Parlor. I came with reservations and seated right away. I tried their chicken parmesan this time around, and was very pleased with it. The homemade pasta was delicious and the chicken was cooked perfectly and a generous portion too. Only thing I didn't care for was the lump of parsley on top. Parsley is one of the worst tasting herbs by itself, incredibly strong flavor and I thought it was unnecessary on top of this dish. Also ordered the hawaiian and margherita pizzas which were both hits. I absolutely love their sourdough crust, they should make a side of dipping sauces to eat with the crust. read more

The food was great as was the service. They are super attentive. We made a reservation, highly recommended, and we were sat down right as I checked in. Almost like the table was waiting for us. We sat down, ordered and the food came pretty quick. I had the Caesar salad with shrimp and we also ordered a cheese pizza. My husband had the roasted chicken and my son had the Tagliatelle Bolognese. All dishes were great. The chicken comes with potatoes and roasted cauliflower which was so yummy. I especially liked all the Parmesan cheese on the Caesar. My daughter didn't care for it too much as she didn't like the anchovies. The restaurant is very nice, a bit nosy but full of great atmosphere. They also have a variety of mocktails. read more

I really do need an intervention. We come here just about every Sunday and that reason is because of the prime rib. We generally share Caesar salad to start and then share the prime rib because quite honestly it's a lot of food and neither one of us could actually eat the entire meal. Caesar salad, always delicious. Crisp fresh lettuce topped with a mountain of Parmesan. Love the crispy capers. Again, prime rib, delicious very well seasoned. Comes with the I believe, garlic mash, and roasted vegetables. I wouldn't mind if they mixed up the vegetables every now and then with seasonality, etc. because I'm kind of bored of cauliflower and carrots to be honest I almost wish there was a baked potato option not that I don't love your mashed potatoes because I do. Service is always fast and friendly and efficient. There is street parking plus some city municipal lots. They have great music playing as well as a lot of the sports and local channels in the bar area. A solid experience. read more

I called ahead and ordered dinner and the girl who took my order was great. When I arrived, there was no street parking so I parked in the alley and Joe brought my food out. He's so sweet and HOT!! The rotisserie chicken is tasty and generous for a half of a chicken. I enjoyed the small pieces of cauliflower and fingerling potatoes. Bf loved his shrimp scampi pasta and he's so fulllll read more

I finally made my way back over here after a great experience the first time, and we loved it just as much! For starters, we had the Burrata & Heirloom Tomatoes. This was good to share amongst 2-3 people. The Bolognese was a good pasta choice. The noodles tasted super fresh. For pizza, we loved the Truffle Roasted Mushroom! This had a ton of flavor with the truffle and garlic. For cocktails, my favorite is the Less Thinking More Drinking! It's so well balanced with the lavender and Yuzu. read more

I met up with a bunch of my friends here and we shared some things family-style. I thought the food was really tasty! Caesar salad was great and so was the pizza. I didn't really care for the chicken parmesan that much, but that's not a dish I would normally choose to order for myself anyway (too heavy, and I don't like that the chicken doesn't stay crispy) so that's just a personal thing. The ambiance is lovely! And I remember thinking they had a great happy hour menu, even if we didn't end up ordering much from the HH selection on this visit. I would definitely come back for happy hour if I ever visited San Clemente again (it's beautiful here)! read more

I came here with my family and grandmother last night, and wanted to give a shoutout to our server--I believe she said her name was Claire, (it was a bit noisy which is why I'm not 100% certain) and we were sat in the back room area near a large party. We never receive bad service here, but Claire's talents and personality shined through what was clearly a busy weekend evening. She was incredibly skilled, and also genuinely kind. We appreciated her so much, I felt her thoughtfulness deserved a review of its own. Thank you, Claire! Your dessert recommendation was especially appreciated, as it was one we had been considering ordering but rarely save room for--you turned a casual evening out into a memorable dinner for us. :) read more

My husband and I went to Parlor on an impromptu date night and it was incredible! Loved the small, cozy vibe of the restaurant and the option to sit on the back patio if we wanted to. Our server Griffin was amazing! He was attentive and super sweet. We ordered the Burrata, calamari, hot Hawaiian and bolognese pasta. Everything was handmade and tasted so fresh. I also ordered a mocktail and had zero expectations but it was one of the best ones I've ever had. Can't wait to go back for another date night thanks again Griffin! read more

The food was so good! I loved the Ceasar salad and bread appetizers. I got the burrata pizza and my boyfriend got the prime rib. He loved his, and mine was pretty good! There was a family sitting next to us and boxing us in basically, which wasn't great, but what was really upsetting is how rude they were. Not the restaurant's fault but it was tough watching them make the staff feel uncomfortable. Overall, a great spot to go for a nice meal, as long as you're not stuck in a corner with that family. read more

Creamy Burrata & Heirloom Tomatoes 10/10 It was creamy, goodness, heaven!! Must love tomatoes to enjoy this appetizer. I also really love pesto. The pesto-like sauce with the tomatoes and cheese was great! I'm calling it a pesto sauce, because it reminded me of that, it may not be pesto though. After doing some investigating, it is not pesto after all lol It is a pistachio pesto though! I wasn't too far off actually lol Such a nice combination. It was smooth and light. The ingredients were super fresh! The sweet basil sprouts gave it an earthy feel. I think the garlic confit complimented the dish and helped bring it all together rather nicely. I am a fan of this starter! I could eat that all day, every day lol It's so tasty and fresh. I love how all the flavors come together and create this smooth and non-heavy appetizer. Service was great. You could tell; it was freshly made. read more

Man, this was not at all what I was expecting, but it was absolutely stellar. The heart of san clemente is inundated with fast casual, patio dining. This is a nice switch up that is a bit more elevated, but not stuffy. Still casual enough for some tvs above the bar to watch the game, but some moody lighting, and intimate seating makes it a solid spot for date night. When I saw wood fired I assumed it would be light fluffy pies. Nope, this is honestly very new yorky pizza. Thin, with solid crisp, next to no flop! Bbq chicken was superb. Tangy bbq sauce with big chunks of smoked chicken. A bit of spunk from the cilantro. The grilled sourdough is superb. Salted butter with light, airy sourdough with wonderful char. Service was 10/10 as well. I was downing water after being at the beach all day, without question my server brought me an extra water cup so I could stay hydrated, lol In any case, one of the best dinners I had during my time in SC! read more

I recently tried Parlor for the first time. I learned they are owned by the same people as The Vine (across the street), Bloom, and several other restaurants in nearby cities. The aesthetic is nice, they have a good bar and great indoor space, feels cozy. I love the fact you can watch the pizzas being made! Sadly though, I was not a big fan of the pizza. It seemed like somehow the pizza dough wasn't very crispy, but the crust was still burnt. Maybe I'm too particular? Service was great and I loved the fact they offer mocktails. I'd love to see the addition of N.A. Spirits or Wine! Lastly, the speakeasy is really what stole the show. I won't give too many details, but I highly recommend asking the host to show you the speakeasy! It's worth it. read more

Really good experience from the start to the end. Great service from the whole staff. Burrata appetizer was good, which there was more burrata. The Caesars salad was average. Pizza had a great crust and was perfectly prepared, great balance of spicy and salty in the Hawaiian pizza with jalapeños. The restaurant manager was hospitable, welcoming and very charming. Looking forward to visiting again. read more

Lively new place a couple blocks from Del Mar. no issue with downtown parking, which is impossible. Park on either Serra or Cabrillo, which have 3 hr. lots. It's a fun place, great music (but not too loud). It was a little crowded the last time we went, so sat at the bar. A super friendly waitress took care of us (sorry I didn't get her name!) She visited with us, while serving us yummy martinis. We got a pizza to share and it was perfect: crisp, thin crust with beautifully melted cheese and pepperoni that was perfect, not too spicy. Will try again soon to check out other menu items. Fun place! read more

We came to Parlor for my son's 23rd bday. He wanted a pizza feast and that's exactly what he got!

It was such a cozy friendly vibe - a great neighborhood restaurant where you'll want to bring your friends and hangout for the evening. read more

When you read that their sourdough starter for their pizza crust was started 31 years ago, that's all it takes to come and try it out! Crisp with a slight crunch on their crust, it's light, not greasy, premium ingredients, friendly service, great selections of entrees, full bar, and great atmosphere. Try the Caesar, it's a tasty accompaniment with your pizza. My only wish, that more mozzarella was put on my pizza- not a deal breaker tho! read more

Parlor is a great date night or hangout spot in San Clemente across the street from the Vine. It is a medium size restaurant with a decent amount of indoor seating, ample bar seating and very little outdoor seating. The evening lighting is perfect and Colton and the vibe is cool with energy. We went for a Saturday night dinner and sat at the bar. The gluten-free pizza is very thin crust but excellent. We also had a half rotisserie chicken, which was amazing! We had wine and beer, but they have an extensive cocktail menu. The gentleman sitting next to us at the park cause there once a week and has chicken Parmesan With Bolognese and raves about it. The Front Desk people and the servers were polite and efficient. The food was good. The pricing is on the high-average for the area with a two entrée meal and two drinks coming in just around $120. We will come back again in the future. read more

My mom and I had been looking at trying out Parlor for a while and we finally made the trip tonight! I am a pescatarian with a gluten allergy so finding places that I can eat at can be challenging at times but we called ahead to make sure that they had options for me, which they told us they did! I was excited to hear they offer both gluten free pasta and pizza. My mom got the Spicy Tina which we both thought was good, pretty sweet with a kick. I got the Gluten Free Vegetarian Fettuccine which was good. I wish there were more vegetables in it but I still liked it. Then of course we had to try a dessert which was really good! Definitely a little overwhelming for 2 people but we both really liked it. Overall we had a very good experience and we are looking forward to our next visit to Parlor to try out the rest of the menu! read more
