   To be fair, we never used our reservation. We had never been to this restaurant and tried for a reservation late when not much was available. We got this, put it into our navigation, and headed to the restaurant. We saw it and decided to pass by and swing around so that we could get a parking space on the same side of the street as the restaurant. My husband pulled into a mini market parking lot to turn around. When he was pulling up close to the road to turn out, he apparently, accidentally, cut off a woman who had been in the store and was now crossing the lot to get to the sidewalk. We only know this because she slammed the back of our car with her hand. Before I could get my window rolled down to talk to her she beat on our car two more times. I was shocked and said, “What the hell, lady?” She looked at me and hit it two more times. I said, “ I’m guessing you feel that my husband cut you off. If he did, it was an accident. What you are doing, is purposeful and hateful. Even so, I forgive you. Happy holidays.” She just glared at me and stormed away. We pulled out and parked just ahead of the restaurant. I watched her walk into it. We got out and approached it. The bar door showed four people, clearly together. The restaurant door was still locked (5:30 when our reservation was), and the same lady was walking through with no one else around. Clearly, she was connected with the restaurant. Clearly, there were no other patrons at 5:30 on Friday evening. Needless to say, we did not attempt to go in. If she’s going to bang on our car for a perceived slight, what the hell would she do to our food? And no one else was there! No thank you. We found another establishment and had the best night of the week there.

   Fantastic outing with neighbor friends for live music with the Larry Brown Swinglane Orchestra this past week - big thanks to Parlor for hosting so many members of the Top of the Hill neighborhood association!

   Overall, a good experience with the exception of the service. Burgers were good, ambiance was great, music was superb. Service was awful. More help is definitely required. The servers were overwhelmed and seemed very confused. Hopefully, just a bad night.

   The staff was great about fixing a little hiccup that happened with our food order so that we were well taken care of. The music was fabulous (Doug Woolverton with the Groove Merchants), acoustics were great, nice crowd, we'll be back.

   Very friendly staff, great location. We wanted to have dinner in Newport a bit away from the usual crowds. Food was good, and they even made us a great non-alcoholic cocktail at our request. We will definitely be back.

   I had the chourico shrimp and it was so over cooked it wasn’t edible. I also had a bug in my wine. The waitress was very personable but the back room was like being in a pool hall.

   We made a reservation for a Bachelorette party of 9 for a late dinner, we ended up having the whole dining room to ourselves! The ladies had a great time playing pool and sipping cocktails while we waited for food. Everything was delicious and the staff was friendly.

    Extravagantly expensive and food so so at best. Price was similar to fine dining spots in Newport but far away from that experience. Server was very good however.
