Came here to celebrate my birthday with a couple of friends. Food was tapas style was was delicious. Was given complimentary birthday shots as well as a non-alcoholic ginger shot for my friend who doesn’t drink alcohol. Really appreciate how inclusive they were!
Finally tried it! Saved this place on my Want To Go for quite a while. It was absolutely a great experience! Stuffs are all really sweet and fun! The drink game Dungeon Master is a must try (if you’re adventurous)! Had a wonderful date night there! Definitely will go there again and try more hidden drinks from that game!
Came out to try a new place and extremely happy we came here. Reading all the “poems” in the menu book was interesting to read. Food was delicious and fairly quick. We decided to try the “Dungeon Master” and unlocked 4 of 20 drinks and plan on finishing it! Music was on point and our waitress was extremely nice! Can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend to come check out , great vibes.
Came for dinner on a whim that ended up being a highlight for our weekend. I'm honestly surprised that it's not rated much higher. This restaurant has so much personality! The owners created a great experience and really paid attention to the little details that made a big difference. For example, the hilarious menus with drawings and recommendations from people who had previously eaten there.
The drinks are the real star of the show here. There have a lot of amazing premaid cocktails, but the ability to have a drink personalized to your favorite ingredients is truly amazing. Another fun pull factor is their dungeon master membership, where your fate is decided by rolling a 20 sided die. Each number is tied to a different innovative drink that isn't on the menu.
While some of the food was great, others were average. But honestly, I'm not deterred by that because I think the draw to come back is more about exploring the variety of drinks. Also, my personal recommendation is to sit by the bar for a much more fun and intimate experience!
Parla XXI is an awesome addition to assembly row. Sophisticated vibe and a great atmosphere. Cocktails were excellent, and I loved the dice game where they give you a random drink.
Service was good, but prices are pretty high for the area. The food took a while to come out, but was outstanding. Overall, excited to be coming back regularly.
