We celebrated my boyfriend's birthday at Parlor Pizza and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Anthony was our server and bartender, and he truly made the night special. He was attentive, friendly, and so on top of everything making sure our drinks were full, our food came out smoothly, and that our whole group felt taken care of all evening. We were lucky enough to have space in the speakeasy area with all of our guests, which made it feel private and extra fun. Being able to hang out, celebrate together, and even play pool made the night feel so unique and memorable. Everything about the experience the atmosphere, the service, and the overall vibe was amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate. Thank you, Anthony and Parlor, for such a fantastic birthday dinner! read more

The food was great as was the service. They are super attentive. We made a reservation, highly recommended, and we were sat down right as I checked in. Almost like the table was waiting for us. We sat down, ordered and the food came pretty quick. I had the Caesar salad with shrimp and we also ordered a cheese pizza. My husband had the roasted chicken and my son had the Tagliatelle Bolognese. All dishes were great. The chicken comes with potatoes and roasted cauliflower which was so yummy. I especially liked all the Parmesan cheese on the Caesar. My daughter didn't care for it too much as she didn't like the anchovies. The restaurant is very nice, a bit nosy but full of great atmosphere. They also have a variety of mocktails. read more

I recently tried Parlor for the first time. I learned they are owned by the same people as The Vine (across the street), Bloom, and several other restaurants in nearby cities. The aesthetic is nice, they have a good bar and great indoor space, feels cozy. I love the fact you can watch the pizzas being made! Sadly though, I was not a big fan of the pizza. It seemed like somehow the pizza dough wasn't very crispy, but the crust was still burnt. Maybe I'm too particular? Service was great and I loved the fact they offer mocktails. I'd love to see the addition of N.A. Spirits or Wine! Lastly, the speakeasy is really what stole the show. I won't give too many details, but I highly recommend asking the host to show you the speakeasy! It's worth it. read more

I called ahead and ordered dinner and the girl who took my order was great. When I arrived, there was no street parking so I parked in the alley and Joe brought my food out. He's so sweet and HOT!! The rotisserie chicken is tasty and generous for a half of a chicken. I enjoyed the small pieces of cauliflower and fingerling potatoes. Bf loved his shrimp scampi pasta and he's so fulllll read more

I finally made my way back over here after a great experience the first time, and we loved it just as much! For starters, we had the Burrata & Heirloom Tomatoes. This was good to share amongst 2-3 people. The Bolognese was a good pasta choice. The noodles tasted super fresh. For pizza, we loved the Truffle Roasted Mushroom! This had a ton of flavor with the truffle and garlic. For cocktails, my favorite is the Less Thinking More Drinking! It's so well balanced with the lavender and Yuzu. read more

I met up with a bunch of my friends here and we shared some things family-style. I thought the food was really tasty! Caesar salad was great and so was the pizza. I didn't really care for the chicken parmesan that much, but that's not a dish I would normally choose to order for myself anyway (too heavy, and I don't like that the chicken doesn't stay crispy) so that's just a personal thing. The ambiance is lovely! And I remember thinking they had a great happy hour menu, even if we didn't end up ordering much from the HH selection on this visit. I would definitely come back for happy hour if I ever visited San Clemente again (it's beautiful here)! read more

Really good experience from the start to the end. Great service from the whole staff. Burrata appetizer was good, which there was more burrata. The Caesars salad was average. Pizza had a great crust and was perfectly prepared, great balance of spicy and salty in the Hawaiian pizza with jalapeños. The restaurant manager was hospitable, welcoming and very charming. Looking forward to visiting again. read more

Lively new place a couple blocks from Del Mar. no issue with downtown parking, which is impossible. Park on either Serra or Cabrillo, which have 3 hr. lots. It's a fun place, great music (but not too loud). It was a little crowded the last time we went, so sat at the bar. A super friendly waitress took care of us (sorry I didn't get her name!) She visited with us, while serving us yummy martinis. We got a pizza to share and it was perfect: crisp, thin crust with beautifully melted cheese and pepperoni that was perfect, not too spicy. Will try again soon to check out other menu items. Fun place! read more

The food was so good! I loved the Ceasar salad and bread appetizers. I got the burrata pizza and my boyfriend got the prime rib. He loved his, and mine was pretty good! There was a family sitting next to us and boxing us in basically, which wasn't great, but what was really upsetting is how rude they were. Not the restaurant's fault but it was tough watching them make the staff feel uncomfortable. Overall, a great spot to go for a nice meal, as long as you're not stuck in a corner with that family. read more

Creamy Burrata & Heirloom Tomatoes 10/10 It was creamy, goodness, heaven!! Must love tomatoes to enjoy this appetizer. I also really love pesto. The pesto-like sauce with the tomatoes and cheese was great! I'm calling it a pesto sauce, because it reminded me of that, it may not be pesto though. After doing some investigating, it is not pesto after all lol It is a pistachio pesto though! I wasn't too far off actually lol Such a nice combination. It was smooth and light. The ingredients were super fresh! The sweet basil sprouts gave it an earthy feel. I think the garlic confit complimented the dish and helped bring it all together rather nicely. I am a fan of this starter! I could eat that all day, every day lol It's so tasty and fresh. I love how all the flavors come together and create this smooth and non-heavy appetizer. Service was great. You could tell; it was freshly made. read more

Man, this was not at all what I was expecting, but it was absolutely stellar. The heart of san clemente is inundated with fast casual, patio dining. This is a nice switch up that is a bit more elevated, but not stuffy. Still casual enough for some tvs above the bar to watch the game, but some moody lighting, and intimate seating makes it a solid spot for date night. When I saw wood fired I assumed it would be light fluffy pies. Nope, this is honestly very new yorky pizza. Thin, with solid crisp, next to no flop! Bbq chicken was superb. Tangy bbq sauce with big chunks of smoked chicken. A bit of spunk from the cilantro. The grilled sourdough is superb. Salted butter with light, airy sourdough with wonderful char. Service was 10/10 as well. I was downing water after being at the beach all day, without question my server brought me an extra water cup so I could stay hydrated, lol In any case, one of the best dinners I had during my time in SC! read more

When you read that their sourdough starter for their pizza crust was started 31 years ago, that's all it takes to come and try it out! Crisp with a slight crunch on their crust, it's light, not greasy, premium ingredients, friendly service, great selections of entrees, full bar, and great atmosphere. Try the Caesar, it's a tasty accompaniment with your pizza. My only wish, that more mozzarella was put on my pizza- not a deal breaker tho! read more

We came to Parlor for my son's 23rd bday. He wanted a pizza feast and that's exactly what he got! The food was amazing - pizzas and appetizers were all fresh and made with such care and amazingly flavorful. The staff were so friendly and really did seem to love what they were doing - from Alayna, our server, to the hostess and the guys behind the counter making magic! It was such a cozy friendly vibe - a great neighborhood restaurant where you'll want to bring your friends and hangout for the evening. read more

We generally frequent parlor on Sunday because they have prime rib. We are very partial to the Caesar salad salad as well and the chicken Parm, but it's always prime rib on a Sunday. Tonight we opted to share the Caesar salad and the prime rib entrée. They were very kind enough to go ahead and split it in the kitchen ahead of time. It was rather busy around 6:30 PM. And we found service with a little bit slow overall. It took a while to get the initial drink order, which was just a nonalcoholic drink. And it also took a little while for some of the check backs and additional refills on the drinks. We weren't in a hurry per se, but we wanted the check sooner than later. The server was really nice to bring it along with processing our payment. She was probably about 5'2" with strawberry blonde hair pulled back. Good vibes overall although the volume can get a little loud at times. Caesar salad salad was heavily dusted, and fresh graded Parmesan, which was hilarious to us. And the prime rib entrée was delicious although overly salty on some of the crust. The roast of vegetables are always good. Honestly, I think it's enough for two people to share. We did not have dessert this time. I think next time when we come back, we'll probably go back to some chicken Parmesan and a pizza there is street parking and a few city lots although Parking can be difficult overall. read more

Parlor is such a cute spot in San Clemente. I was so excited to try for a date night. The services was excellent and kind. I had even forgot my left overs and they gave me a call and I was able to come right back and get them.

Service was excellent. I was about to ask for a water refill when I saw my glass had been stealthily refilled by our sweet server Corinne.

Parlor is a great date night or hangout spot in San Clemente across the street from the Vine. It is a medium size restaurant with a decent amount of indoor seating, ample bar seating and very little outdoor seating. The evening lighting is perfect and Colton and the vibe is cool with energy. We went for a Saturday night dinner and sat at the bar. The gluten-free pizza is very thin crust but excellent. We also had a half rotisserie chicken, which was amazing! We had wine and beer, but they have an extensive cocktail menu. The gentleman sitting next to us at the park cause there once a week and has chicken Parmesan With Bolognese and raves about it. The Front Desk people and the servers were polite and efficient. The food was good. The pricing is on the high-average for the area with a two entrée meal and two drinks coming in just around $120. We will come back again in the future. read more

Fantastic Italian in downtown San Clemente. Make reservations especially on the weekends! My party was seated on their covered patio which had a nice ambience. We shared the butternut squash arancini, hot hawaiian pizza, fennel sausage pizza, and short rib special. Everything was incredible. My fav was the hot hawaiian pizza. It had a unique pop of flavor and the sourdough pizza crust was addicting. One of the best crusts I've consumed, kudos to the wood fired oven. Also, their short rib special was nothing short of special. Service was great and the water cups were consistently filled which is something I always appreciate. I would definitely recommend! read more

Had a wonderful date night at Parlor. Walked in and lucked out with speakeasy table. Joe showed us the way and he was so kind and friendly. Mia was bartending and serving tables downstairs. She was absolutely wonderful. The drinks and food were perfect. The burrata was so good. Pizza was so thin and perfect. Decided to get the huge sundae even though we were full.

Discovered a great new restaurant in San Clemente. The decor is super cute bohemian slash modern. Friendly staff greeted us as we walked toward the back of the restaurant to our table. Wine list is very good. The place was very lively around 7pm when we left. I ordered the pasta bolognese which was a 3/5. Flavor was good a bit spicy but the pasta was tough. Chicken wing appetizer was yummy but the serving though 12 pieces is small. They are lollipop chicken wings fyi. Next time I'd order the pizza as it looked very good. read more

Went to Parlor for the first time to celebrate my birthday with a few girlfriends. We had a table full of various dishes. We had pasta, pizza, salad, appetizers and their wine selection was delicious! Hard to pick a favorite because it was all that good!

Arrived early for our reservation, but was quickly seated at a cozy booth. Our server, Alaina, was so friendly as were others who helped her bring our food and buss our table.

My mom and I had been looking at trying out Parlor for a while and we finally made the trip tonight! I am a pescatarian with a gluten allergy so finding places that I can eat at can be challenging at times but we called ahead to make sure that they had options for me, which they told us they did! I was excited to hear they offer both gluten free pasta and pizza. My mom got the Spicy Tina which we both thought was good, pretty sweet with a kick. I got the Gluten Free Vegetarian Fettuccine which was good. I wish there were more vegetables in it but I still liked it. Then of course we had to try a dessert which was really good! Definitely a little overwhelming for 2 people but we both really liked it. Overall we had a very good experience and we are looking forward to our next visit to Parlor to try out the rest of the menu! read more

My daughter said it best when the focaccia bread hit the table: "This might be my favorite place already." And she wasn't wrong. From start to finish, The Parlor delivered an unforgettable dining experience. Alaina, who had only worked three shifts, was an absolute star. You'd never know she was new--her attention to detail, warmth, and professionalism made us feel completely at home. She even knew about the less-than-stellar experience we'd had at the godforsaken Pronto just days before and went out of her way to make sure everything at The Parlor was perfect. We also had the pleasure of meeting Joe and Andre--two consummate professionals who somehow anticipated our needs before we even knew we had them. Their hospitality was truly next level. Now for the food: * Focaccia bread - excellent. * Burrata and tomatoes - top notch. * Prosciutto pizza - fantastic. * Vodka martini - absolutely perfect. The Parlor hits every note--flavor, service, ambiance. Can't wait to come back. You really can't go wrong here. read more

Not to be too hasty as I just moved to SC a day ago, but I think I may have already found my fave indulgence. To start with, definitely recommend a reservation, and so glad we did. First dining experience ever here, and it did not disappoint. We love a good caprese salad, but nothing could've prepared us for this! Having come from Hawaii, fresh produce isn't so abundant, and great tomatoes are definitely one thing that we don't get there. The mix of soft burrata, fresh tomatoes, pesto and olive oil paired with the fluffiest and perfectly toasted house ciabatta was next level. My husband got the bbq chicken pizza - pizza is his love language - and he hailed it as the best bbq chicken pizza ever tried. I think the combo of bbq- mustard sauce really cut that regular sweetness while still preserving the lovely tang. I ordered the half rotisserie chicken which dripping potatoes and cauliflower. This was definitely 3 meals worth for me; it was impeccable in flavours and presentation. A lot of it (not all) was pretty much deboned which I appreciate very much. Would order again. Service for me as a non-American and not having lived in SoCal before was a little unexpected. I found our server and bussers very attentive, friendly and dedicated, however, having never dined in this region of America before, it's hard to tell how genuine it is. That's not a negative by any means, but I'm just not used to that kind of service and "praise" for every item we ordered from food to drinks. If you reserve for a small group or couple, definitely the booth seating is private and less noisy. The temperature inside was very comfortable. read more

Tried this place based on Yelp reviews. Sat at the bar, had a beer, grilled sourdough bread and the shrimp scampi. The beer was a local brew but in a can(bartender put it in a glass). No draft beers here. Grilled sourdough bread was delicious. Shrimp scampi was just "okay". Only three large shrimp, prepared well, but could use a bit more flavor. Expensive for what you get. Just a heads up... parking is a real challenge in downtown San Clemente. Public lots were mostly full, street parking was nonexistent. Neat area, but could use more parking. read more
