Looks like a repackaged "Body Worlds" that came through 3 years ago.

Every Tool fan in the tri-state area showed up for this. They started lining up at 6am, needless to say, I didn't make the cut by showing up post-work.

Oh man, I'll never post as many reviews as I did last year!

THAT's nawt a knife!

pwned. :(

AC had been playing via the 'net for a lil while now, from 9-12. At last, we have the return to Dallas airwaves!

Parlour is now closed.

Shady?!

Aaaaaaaaaaare you ready to ruuuuuumble?!

I knew I should have posted those last few by midnight, I mis-read and thought I had until noon today. pwned by reading comprehension. haha.

P.S. I have bank statments dating back to 2000, I'm ready for the recount! :P

I find all the closures of Carrabba's kind of baffling. I always found their food to be pretty decent. Maybe the price point of some of their dishes? Who knows. Will be curious if their other locations will remain. Sorta remniscient of the demise of Tony Romas...

We're all doomed, the world is coming to an end. Wherever shall we get our USDA prime grade steak?!

I know, I know! I fully intend to have more substantiative reviews in the near future, once all the Savor Dallas dust settles...

What a beater! I have accepted the fact that I go out way too much. Best of luck to everyone!

Another vote for the CFS. And true to the other posts, the portions are gargantuan in size. The place seems to have been there for a good amount of time, considering the past tenants ill-fated ventures.

I find it's a decent place when trying to organize a lunch venture with people from the Dallas area and Allen/McKinney area. It's about as centralized as you can get, all things considered.

I’ll give the standard disclaimer in that I am familiar with Wayne and Chef Jason Wade from Mercy. Doug I’ve met a few times here and there. So I’ll say that I have no personal ties or any particular allegiance to Parlour.

With that being said…

I’m also on the Parlour email list and received said email. I don’t think I’d go so far as to say I was displeased, per se about receiving it. But I’ll venture to say that it probably wasn’t the most effective way to go about addressing the issue(s) brought about in the review.

That’s all it is. A review, nothing more, nothing less. Granted, after a positive review, you’ll find any given establishment packed for a couple of weeks. I would have rather they taken it with a grain of salt and rectified the concerns brought forth in the review. For all practical purposes, that’s all any proprietor can do. Read, review, correct the problem and carry on.

As unbiased as I’ll try to be, I’ll say that overall Parlour has pretty good food and good service. On the same token, we’ve all been to places where we’ve had solid and consistent service, only to see the place get trashed in the DMN review. And we’ve also seen reviews of places we thought were trash, and DMN glorifies the place. I guess it’s just the nature of the beast.

Unfortunately I didn’t get to catch any of the responses on the Eats section, but I will say that I feel there’s some sort of journalistic bias by shutting off commentary. As an open forum for discussion, people should have been entitled to post up their opinions, thoughts, and personal experiences from going to Parlour. But tagging it under the guise that they “didn’t want their email servers being overloaded”? Come on. If the comments were obviously from friends or loyal patrons, natural selection would have taken care of that and they would have been flamed from posting further.
