Finally booked a table for dinner, seemed like the kind of place that fills up, so we didn't risk just showing up. The room felt relaxed. Not loud, not stiff. We were comfortable, which is about all you want on a Friday night out. I got the Roman carbonara and honestly it was the highlight. It's hard to describe without sounding like a food blogger, but it tasted like someone actually knew what they were doing, the sauce had real depth to it and the pasta wasn't overdone. When the plate arrived I thought "that's it?" but ended up finishing it and not needing much else. They brought out bread with some dips while we waited, and we had to actually pace ourselves so we didn't ruin our appetite. Small thing, but a nice touch. Our server was good checked in a couple of times but wasn't constantly interrupting us. Food came out in reasonable time even though the place started filling up around us. The price is the part that gives me pause. Adding protein to a dish cost noticeably more than I expected, and it's not somewhere you'd go casually on a weeknight. For a proper night out though, yeah, it felt worth it. I'd go back to try some of the other pastas.

This unexpected gem is a seriously underrated steal for visitors and downtown office folks seeking…read morea quick, casual, and reasonably healthy meal at fantastic value. There are no price points listed anywhere, but the lunch buffet is all-you-can-eat for just $14 flat after all taxes and fees (as of April 2026). The restaurant has been here for 22 years and the owner personally greets guests, buses tables, fills and refills drinks, and sets your table. Super nice. There's a full salad bar, pasta bar, and pizza bar that's constantly refilled during lunch hours. The salad toppings were fresh and premium for the price point: Salad mix, chopped hard-boiled eggs, black olives, red onions, pepperoncinis, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, croutons, and half a dozen different dressings. The pasta bar had several different types of noodles and sauces. The protein choices were meatballs in red sauce (super delicious), Italian sausage, and chicken (a little dry). The marinara sauce in particular was super flavorful; I'm used to paying more for less quality and quantity. Finally, the pizza bar had at least four different pie varieties. I believe unlimited fountain drinks are also included in the price, but I stuck with water anyway. All told, this must be one of the best deals in town - made me feel like I was back in the 2000s with this price point! The cash register is old-school enough that I didn't end up being asked to pay a tip like all the new systems do, so I brought $6 in cash over later on to make up for it. If you're staying at the Sheraton for work or fun, come here for lunch - it's a way better deal than the hotel restaurants.

Perfectly cooked and a fully rounded meal. A lot of steak places charge more and leave you with an empty plate outside of the steak itself, not the case here. Wonderfully seasoned and priced very affordably considering. Such a memorable evening for us and so glad we came here.

Parlor delivered. I love the setup because there are multiple food concepts, several bars, a rooftop area, and a lively DJ, so you're not locked into one type of food or one atmosphere. Our group had different eating preferences, and there was truly something for everybody -- vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, and meat eaters could all find an option. We ordered pizza, and that deep-dish crust was REMARKABLE! The pizza itself was good, but that crust was what stood out for me. Crispy, flavorful, and substantial without taking away from the toppings. I would order it again just for that crust! The atmosphere was energetic without feeling chaotic, the staff was great, and the whole concept makes it easy for groups because everyone can choose their own food and drinks without having to agree on one menu. Between the food choices, bars, rooftop, DJ, great staff, and overall vibe, Parlor was an excellent location to close out our reunion weekend. Good food, good music, good people and something for everybody -- exactly what we needed for our farewell!

But, I'm not sure I would make the trek to eat here again. I am going with a four star review. The amuse-bouche that was sent out was amazing! Fried plantains on a great aïoli. If that were on their appetizer menu, I would order it (and that sauce by the bucket load). Their version of an aperol spritz (with blood orange) was very sippable. I went with the Airplane Chicken. The rissoto was amazing. The chicken was mediocre. The asparagus was almost tough. I totally picked wrong. Around the table we had the chicken fried steak (enormous), a ribeye, a Caesar with shrimp, and the short rib pappardelle. We also tried the corn bread. The butter was the best part. The Pappardelle looked amazing and I would probably go with that next time. Might try this again for a special occasion or if at an event downtown. Our server was amazing! Pretty pricey.

We stopped at Flint Kitchen & Bar for a late dinner after a very long day of traveling. We were…read morestaying at the hotel and had valet parking, which made things convenient; otherwise, parking in the area did not appear to be easily accessible. We arrived around 8:45 p.m. and didn't leave until about 10:00 p.m., which felt especially long considering we only ordered two sandwiches and a side of mac & cheese. The restaurant itself is beautiful and definitely gives the impression of being a nicer, more upscale place, so we were expecting the service to match. Because it was extremely cold inside, we chose to sit outside. Unfortunately, the wait for our food was much longer than expected, and once our meals were delivered, we were basically left unattended. Our service was split between Sydney and Erin, and I was surprised to learn that one of them was a manager. A soda we ordered was forgotten, and no one came back to check on us or ask how everything was. About halfway through our meal, I had to get up and go inside to ask for the drink. Later, I had to get up again just to request a to-go box and our check. When we mentioned that my grandson didn't care for the mac & cheese because it was too dry, there was really no response or effort to address it. We weren't expecting anything for free, but even a simple offer to replace it or bring him something else would have shown some level of concern. The French dip was good, although the mashed potatoes were a little watery. The chicken sandwich was just okay and nothing particularly memorable. Overall, the restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere and looks great from the outside, but unfortunately the service did not live up to the setting. After traveling all day, we were hoping for a relaxing dinner with attentive service. Instead, a meal that began at 8:45 p.m. stretched until 10:00 p.m., with us having to repeatedly get up to ask for basic things. I definitely wish I had taken the time to read the reviews before choosing to dine here.

They had a lovely outdoor seating but it was just too hot for that this trip. There is an upstairs and downstairs area and we were seated downstairs. The atmosphere was casual yet classy. We were there in time to just enjoy the last half hour of happy hour. So we indulged in their half off Patatas Bravas appetizer. It had a very generous proportion. It was a great appetizer especially for a happy hour food and drink type. Luckily our server Zach let us know the sauce was at the bottom so we could stir it up a little and ensure every bit had sauce. My wife got her continuously boring Savignon Blanc. And I explored the Bartender's Choice due to happy hour. A drink they decide and surprise you with. Zach asked me some basic questions to ensure it would be a drink I might like. For example if I didn't like vodka and the drink had vodka that would suck. But with the inquiry my drinks were amazing. I had one called Gold Rush and a French 75. For our main meal my wife had the Chorizo Mac and Cheese and I had Wagyu Sirloin medium well with a side of local greens and oregano vinaigrette. The Mac and cheese has the perfect spice only a chorizo could bring. The proportion was perfect for a meal in itself. I also got 2 steak sauces: one was Smoked Paprika Carmel sauce and the other was Chimichurri. The Wagyu was more medium than medium well but not a big deal for me...I just don't want it to bleed out when I cut into it and luckily it didn't. It was tender and juicy by itself but the sauces did kick it up a notch in flavor. I was more partial to the Smoked Paprika sauce as the Chimichurri sauce was a little spicy for me. I enjoyed the top part of my greens but towards the bottom all the vinaigrette settle there and drowned the greens. I should have asked for the vinaigrette on the side so I could control the amount. Our dessert was a liquid dessert when the Sauvignon Blanc reared its ugly head (no really it was good hence so many glasses) and I had my tried and true old fashioned with a large cube and bartender s choice on a top self bourbon. We did use the bathrooms and we can happily report the bathrooms are very clean, nice and smell good. Overall we really enjoyed ourselves from the moment we walked into the place and until we departed. This welcoming place is beckoning us to come back and we will oblige.

If you stick to the small plates, you'll walk away happy. Past visits with friends proved their full entrees can be a bit of a hit or miss, but tonight the kitchen was completely locked in. Go ahead and load up the table with the pork short ribs, potato skins, and pork buns. And for the absolute coup de grâce, get the main short rib--you can thank me later. Our server was fine. Friendly enough. When the food hits this hard, I can forgive a lot.
