   We attended Parlay’s Sunday brunch, drawn in by the lively music and high-energy atmosphere. The DJ played a fantastic selection of songs, making the vibe a definite highlight. However, the experience fell short when it came to service and food. Despite having a 1:45 reservation, we weren’t seated until 2:30. The hostess and servers were kind and repeatedly apologized, explaining that the kitchen was overwhelmed. Unfortunately, it seemed Parlay overbooks reservations, leading to long waits and frustrated guests. When we finally got our food, it was lukewarm at best, and the quality was underwhelming. The drinks also seemed watered down. This was my second visit, and the experience mirrored the first, leaving much to be desired. If Parlay put as much effort into their food and service as they do into creating a fun vibe, this could easily be a standout brunch spot. Until then, it’s hard to recommend.

   This place caters to the younger crowd. I was sort of expecting a sports bar to watch college football games around supper, with a DJ during commercials. The DJ was going full bore the entire time. This is more of a club in the evening than a restaurant. Nothing wrong with that. It just wasn't what I was looking for. Staff was very nice.

    This place is not worth it. Food was ok but service is terrible. Our server definitely didn't want to be here so it was like pulling teeth to get a round of drinks. Did not get a bill in the end she just came with the machine. Didn't tell us there was an automatic 20% gratuity and a 4% restaurant fee so we didn't see it until after we had to pay and get texted a receipt.
