We were pleasantly surprised to find that happy hour lasted until 6 pm. We ordered a variety of dishes and truly enjoyed every single one. The kids menu is fantastic too. My son's meal came with salmon skewers, a huge serving of fries, fresh fruit and an adult sized cookie (that we had to sample for quality control). The service was incredibly friendly and attentive. While my husband really enjoyed our meal, I think this restaurant would be great for a girls dinner. Small plates, an extensive wine list, and a great patio. We'll be back for sure!

The salmon salt block sashimi presentation was cool but the slices were too thin and salty. The salmon sweet sesame rice bowl was too sweet for me and the portion size was small.

Daily soup was that day was a gumbo with sausage and chicken. Pretty good. I'd order it again but didn't think it's a must have item. Maybe that's why it's part of a rotation? Short rib entree was very good. I felt like the star of the show was the grits though. Maybe they just surprised me. The glaze went nicely with the entire dish too. The short rib itself was short rib... isn't it always great? lol

Last night, we ordered from Parlay and when my husband picked up the food he saw a 10z ribeye for steak and eggs on the brunch menu. Before trying the food, he already decided to get their breakfast in the morning. We got an ahi Salad, some southwest spring rolls, and a chicken sandwich. All were good. The egg rolls and the sauce that came with them were awesome. Today, after my surgery - Husband ordered the steak and eggs that came with potatoes and toast. It's 10oz ribeye, for only $25 bucks. We knew it would be a thin cut, but in today's economy!, still an awesome price for all of that. He asked for medium rare. I ordered a burger (I forget which kind; I was high from surgery) cooked medium. Both the steak and burger were cooked beyond well done. Beyond. My husband NEVER returns food. But, he told the server when he came by to check on us. The server was super cool. He brought the steak back. I hadn't said anything about the burger yet. I didn't have the energy and I think I was still chewing my first bite while half asleep. The steak was taking a good while to come back. Server said the cook KEPT ON over cooking the steak. , idk how many steaks he ruined before he decided on the one we should get. It was a 3/4 10oz ribeye. Should be cooked 2-3 minutes on each side. Server finally brought a new steak out. It was blue rare. Some bites were edible, but husband was iffy. The rest of the steak was still raw. Server came back and we let him know. He was in agreement and apologized. At that point I let him know the burger was also super well done. It was almost funny since again, surgery high. The server didn't charge us for the steaks and I think he compensated us for my husband's Bloody Mary too. His eggs and potatoes were fine. My fries were perfect. Ngl.. we may go back tonight since it's close to the hotel and they have a chocolate ganache cake I craved before I knew it was on the menu. Hopefully the chef making the steaks is not also the baker I will update the review to report whether or not the cake gets overcooked lol. 1st time experience -Restaurant and other food is decent. Possible new cook ruining steaks: needs a lesson Pic shared is the steak we laughed about taking home to finish cooking. It's been in the fridge so it doesn't look as raw as it did earlier.

After watching The World Cup final at Talking Stick Casino on a Sunday, we made the short drive…read moreover to The Parlay Kitchen + Cocktails for some more drinks and dinner. Parking wasn't an issue in the large, complimentary lot they share with a bunch of other businesses. Ambiance (3.5/5): Pretty much your typical well-kept bar and restaurant. We sat at the bar, though there is plenty of table and booth seating if that's more your jam. Service (4/5): Our bartender was new but she was super friendly and accommodating. I had to grab her attention a few times, but overall, solid. Drinks (4/5): One of the nice things about The Parlay is that they have happy hour every day until 6. We took advantage of it for the last 45 minutes or so. Happy hour consists of discounts off of their cocktails and appetizers, which both are large lists. I enjoyed two drinks off of the happy hour menu including one with a huge smoke bubble. My third time having a drink like this and always a good time. I think the bartender got the ingredients off a slight bit, but she'll get better with practice. Food (3/5): The food is a hit and a miss. I had three appetizers: the fried avocado, the steak bites, and the pretzels with fondue cheese. The best of the bunch is the fried avocado. Think of an avocado deep fried in the same way you see a bunch of foods at the carnival. Pretty much anything is good in this format, am I right? Beyond the avocado, it was served on a bed of a corn and crema slaw of sorts which was delicious. Good portion size. In the middle were the pretzels. I love cheese so this is my type of appetizer. The soft pretzels were soft and buttered well. Solid but a smaller portion size than I anticipated. And lastly, the steak bites. They're served with flat fries and drizzled with a sweet sauce. Good portion. The problem. I ordered it medium rare and it was well done. You can't mess up steak like this. You shouldn't even serve it. The chef messed up so he or she should have started over. I'm not the type that returns dishes so I ate it, but it took away from the dish a lot. While I wouldn't run to come back to The Parlay, if happy hour is involved, and I'm in the area, I'd check it out again. Hopefully they can work out some of the kinks.

We ended up not being addressed at all for 15 minutes until I asked the bartender can we have water & lemons. He brought us water right away. I had to ask over five times for lemons, additionally to our server. We both ordered Steak Frites which is one of my favorite dishes. I ordered mine medium, and it came out dead and the texture of rubber. I sent it back and asked them to remake it medium rare just to be sure this time. It came out decently medium rare however I was able to try the meat for the first time and it was a terrible cut. There was so much fat amongst the meat that I kept having to discard half of each piece. The truffle fries were amazing and some of the best I've had. The steak however, was probably the worst I've had. I was not offered any discount even though my meal came out after my company was done eating. I ended up boxing it to go. Probably will not be back.

They all enjoyed their meals immensely (they had the Brussels sprouts and the bread to start, no one complained but also no one finished off these appetizers either)... I myself got the salmon entree, ditched the sides that came with it and instead got another side of salmon and a side of rotisserie chicken. Both pieces of salmon were moist and juicy, and the rotisserie chicken was actually really good too, I was honestly expecting it to be dry. So over all, everything I got was tasty and cooked the way I asked it to be (no butter) but it wasn't a meal that I will think about after the fact. Over all though, everyone seemed happy and the waitress was pleasant and the ambiance was "cool" and "hip".

We ordered some apps and cocktails. Great prices for drinks ans food and we were full!! The dishes are super tasty and filling. Cocktails on point and so was the service. The second time I came with a friend and we shared the Fried Chicken Sandwich after I saw the reel they posted on Instagram. That thing was juicy and a great size. I don't normally do chicken, but this burg was worth it!! I'm glad we shared it because there is no way I could have eaten it by myself, lol. It's dimly lit for a romantic vibe, but it's a casual dress code. The bar upstairs is great for Happy Hour, but be warned it's really dark in there. We had no complaints about the service, pricing or food options. One of the managers came around and spoke with us as we dined, which I thought was nice of him. He thanked us for coming in. We will be coming back again soon!

We had a very good experience there with good food, good service, and an all-around good experience! We would certainly consider returning again in the future (and recommend Society Swan to others). We made a reservation on Open Table and visited on a Saturday evening. We arrived a bit before our reservation and decided to stop by the bar first and enjoyed a cocktail (and a mocktail) before sitting down at our table. There was only a short wait at the host podium before we were seated at our table. The hosts, bartenders, and our server were great and took the time to get to know us and to answer questions. We ordered a truffled brie baguette starter, which was incredible! To be honest, that may have been the highlight of the meal. Between my wife and I, we ordered a salmon and the Chicken Francese dish for our entrees, and we even got a dessert before taking off. We enjoyed each dish though that starter was incredible!
