Parlor

My husband and I ate at Parlors for the first time & It was amazing!! The food and drinks were so good. We had the meat lovers pizza and the spaghetti carbonara .. .. EXCELLENT FOOD! For drinks My husband had an old fashioned & I had less thinking more drinking cocktail, they were very good! Our waiter Sebastian was so nice and always came around to check on us! Even the managers came over to greet us and made sure we were taking care of. We will definitely be back!

Parlor is one of the new Italian spots in San Clemente. Owned by same group that owns The Vine (San Clemente), Bloom (San Juan Capistrano) and Sapphire (Laguna). We had the Margherita Pizza and the Bolognese pasta. As a Bolognese fan, I can say this pasta was delicious. Large chunks of short rib and a very good hearty sauce. The pizza is a bit fancier than it needs to be for a Marguerita. The pink sauce is tasty, the crust is authentic Neapolitan. Not a basic pizza, but definitely worth a try. Overall giving this place a great review on the sheer taste of that Bolognese. Wow.

This was our first time dining here with our entire family. Our waitress, was friendly..We had a 5 o'clock reservation so it was not busy at the time . I get it if you forget something, but my husband was drinking Coke and the refill came as a Diet Coke. We ordered the sourdough bread . It came with balsamic and olive oil, and we ordered another batch and asked if we could order a plain bread-specifically with no oil or butter or balsamic -just dry . It came to the table again with olive oil and when I mentioned it to the waitress ,she said it doesn't have butter or balsamic. She did not offer to make it righteven though we paid for three orders . It sat on the table u touched, but it was in the bill.My husband ordered the Parmesan chicken and she suggested to try the Bolognese sauce and so we ordered that . She brought the Bolognese sauce after we finished eating and all the plates were cleared . His food arrived 20 minutes after we all received our food so he waited a long time to even start eating . It was obvious that they forgot his dish . He didn't say anything about the Bolognese, but it was a little surprising that she brought it over to the table, even after the table was cleared .Someone else ordered a Coke, but they never received it and had to ask a few times . We ordered three pizzas and they were so dry and barely had any marinara sauce and they were burnt on the edges . Even though the waitress was friendly, just the overall experience with a $400 bill we will not be returning again. We were looking forward to it as our friends suggested this place, and they agreed and were surprised at how the service was flowing also. I was surprised that we ordered the bread and had to pay for it, but she didn't offer to make it right and just kind of looked at us like oh well like we were annoying her. When you use the word dry and plain -bring the bread plain, it doesn't get any clearer than that.Just a bummer dining experience.

We came here on a Sunday night for dinner. We did make a reservation because we had a party of five. I'm glad we did the restaurant was pretty busy. It's really nice inside they play music with an upbeat vibe. Our server was great, he conversed with us and gave us recommendations. We ordered a large Caesar salad, meatballs, a truffle pizza and pepperoni pizza. My favorite was the truffle pizza. Everything was really good and I would definitely return and try new food choices.

Server Laura was on her game tonight. The shared Caesar salad was quite huge, for only $12. Our veggie pizza had that smoky, wood-fired snap and the crust was amazing. Give Parlor an honest try.

Great local spot to grab a craft cocktail and bites! All of the staff here are super friendly and personable. You can sit at the bar top and watch fresh pizzas made inside of the giant pizza oven. I tried the Sweet and Spicy chicken wings which literally fell off the bone. For cocktails, I recommend trying the El Camino Real!

I've been going to the parlor now every Friday night with my wife and granddaughter. It is very consistent. The food is excellent. The Quality is definitely above par. for instance tonight they had the salmon which was wild as opposed to farm raised. The staff is top-notch from the manager, Joe to great servers like Sebastian highly recommend the chicken Parm to substitute the fettuccine with spaghetti. The place is a little gem in San Clemente as the inside is tasteful it's not too bright and it's not too dark. Highly recommend.

Great new spot in San Clemente. I loved Brick (the old restaurant in this space) but am overjoyed with what Parlor has done. The space has more seating and is better designed for more people. They extended the bar which is great. The service is phenomenal with several familiar faces of servers and bartenders from some of our favorite spots in San Clemente. Rotisserie chicken is AWESOME!!! 6 star! Perfectly cooked with crispy skin. They still have the brick pizza oven and put out incredible pizzas. The seafood pasta and tagliatelle bolognese was really good too. Full bar with drink on point!Love this place. We will be coming back often.

I love the place, the food, the ambience and the drinks. Service was 10/10. Highly recommend it to you.

Had a great meal. Porchetta was delish. Pizzas always a favorite. Service was outstanding. A special thanks to bartender Kyle who went above and beyond.
