Have you ever had a vision of how you think something will be, and the reality isn't what you thought it would be? Well, I think that may have been a bit of my problem with The Parlor. After reading the reviews of this place on here (and I trust y'all!) I was very excited to visit the Parlor for my birthday dinner Thursday. \n\nSooo...\n\nThe good: the pizzas were amazing! We had the Yukon Gold and the seafood pizza and both were delicious. Maybe not as great as Pizzeria Bianco, but we also didn't have to wait 3 hours. We sat on the patio (yes, in July! it wasn't bad at all). Also, as some previous reviews have mentioned, they have PBR on draft....which made me giggle. \n\nThe \""meh\"" (I won't say anything was bad about this place, but just meh) The service was pretty slow, and the server not super friendly. She wasn't rude, but just sorta lackadaisical. The appetizer (meat and cheese plate) was really small for 4 people (and we asked if it would be enough) Seriously, we each got one piece of prosciutto, one square of pita, and some cheese. We also had the ginger martini, which the server recommended, and it was basically a shot in a martini glass for $11. \n\nOverall, I would go back, but it wouldn't be my first choice. However, it is a great addition to the downtown Phoenix/Biltmore circuit, and I definitely would have their pizza again!
