Bottled in Bond Cocktail Parlour & Kitchen + The Parlour Lounge

Had a very disappointing experience here. 1. We arrived 10 min prior to our 930pm reservation, seated after 10. Kitchen closes at 1030. 2. bartender was rude 3. Server was unprofessional. —— he was drinking (observed while waiting for our table) ——used profanity while communicating with us probably in an effort to be fun and charismatic but it felt unprofessional. ——Not attentive ( after being seated late it took 10 min for him to greet us and that is after we spoke with the host). ——Mistakes identified on checks, 6. Food was decent. —— Fries were cold but very good. ——Entree tasted good but over salted. If I didn’t hate the service I would honestly give the food another try. 7. Automatic gratuity charged for a table of 3 seemed odd. I usually don’t mind but with such bad service this especially hurt. 8. Live performer was great!

From the approach of the parlour you wouldn’t know it but once the door is opened the place is beautifully laid out. Small but intimate and perfect for a chill party or a romantic night out! The food was fantastic and extremely flavorful!

Great ambiance with a nice location, free parking, and outdoor vibes. I went on a Saturday and really enjoyed the soft, live music selection. My only real complaint was not being aware of the automatic 18% gratuity, which was a surprise at the end. I don’t mind tipping, but I prefer to know upfront—otherwise it feels a little sneaky. Food-wise, the deviled eggs had good flavor and presentation, though the bacon could have been a bit larger compared to the amount of filling. The steak was cooked perfectly to medium-well—tender, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth—but it was very fatty. I upgraded my side for $4 because I didn’t want fries, and while the portion size was nice, the mashed potatoes were bland and nothing special also added more butter on my steak that was additional $2 just be careful with add-ons. Service was solid—our waitress gave great recommendations, knew the menu well, and made our first visit feel welcoming.

We’ve come here three times and have never had a good experience. Tonight was enough that I finally decided to leave a review. The hostess told us we could have a seat at the bar seats that were open but when we went to them they had a reserved sign. So then the staff instead moved some chairs around to give our party of 4 seats together near the entrance. A server never came by to take our order but one did come start lecturing us loudly about sitting in a fire hazard zone. I’m not sure why he told us instead of asking the hostess to reseat us, because we obviously had no way of knowing and it’s not like we could just seat ourselves at another table. The hostess was the only one who could solve that problem (and it was just flat out rude). In previous visits to this place there was always a problem with either seatings or service quality. It would take forever to get a drink. I’ve been there when literally no one came over and we would have to leave the table to go to the bar and try to order. I told my husband we are not ever going back. 3 bad experiences should be enough to learn from. Average food, average drinks, bad (and rude) service, and it’s so small that it always feels crowded even with only a handful of people. They treat you like crap because there’s an automatic 18% gratuity so they don’t have to care. Go to Rare Books next door for a much much better experience!! We also once rented the private section (adjacent with same owner and kitchen) for a birthday party and they basically told us it would be private and when we showed up they were seating random people on one side and gave half of our section on the other side to another group. The whole establishment smells of greed and shady/deceptive practices. Just beware… they clearly overpromise and under deliver and there is a general lacking of integrity (and hospitality experience) in the ownership and staff.

Had an amazing time celebrating my daughter's 21st birthday at Bottled and Bond! The atmosphere was perfect for the occasion—elegant yet relaxed. The staff went above and beyond with their service—attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel welcome. The food and cocktails were top-notch, and everything came out perfectly timed. It made a special day even more memorable. Highly recommend for any celebration or just a great night out!

Had the BEST time celebrating my friend's birthday. Kevin was amazing checking in with us, I think he was the manager - funny guy and definitely super cool. The food was great. The live music gave the right vibes. The staff were so attentive and did everything to make sure we had a great time! We can't get enough of this place.

POOR SERVICE: Tonight we arrived around **6:15 p.m.** for a mother-daughter outing and were told the dining room was mostly reserved, so we were seated at the **end of the bar**, which was about **90% full**, as was the restaurant. There were **two female bartenders** (a blonde and a brunette) working each appearing to manage one side of the bar. My daughter and I sat there for **at least 10 minutes** without being acknowledged. No greeting, no menus, no water, and no eye contact. A **male staff member** (whom I’ve seen there before and who consistently provides excellent service) noticed us and stepped in. He asked one of the bartenders (the brunette) if she had helped us yet, she never looked up & shook her head no. He immediately took care of us by bringing water, explaining the happy hour specials, walking us through both the drink and food menus, and creating a welcoming experience. He was professional, engaging, and attentive. After he made our cocktails, we sat at the bar for **another 45 minutes** without a single check-in from either bartender. During that time, we watched them actively engage with other guests taking food orders, offering refills, and discussing specials, while completely ignoring us. When seats opened closer to the middle of the bar, we moved, hoping for better service (and honestly, just a change of atmosphere). Unfortunately, nothing improved. I observed one bartender whisper something to the other, and they both looked in our direction. From that point forward, neither bartender acknowledged us. One bartender continued assisting guests on both sides of us while skipping over us entirely, and at times focused on cleaning and restocking glassware instead of checking on guests. After **over an hour total** at the bar, I finally asked if we could place a food order. The response was a very dismissive “yeah,” with no apology or acknowledgment of the extended lack of service. We ordered deviled eggs and truffle fries, but by then, the experience had already felt uncomfortable. At that point, I asked the same male staff member if we could move to a table. He apologized and accommodated us. While he mentioned that it was busy, what we observed didn’t support that explanation, we had watched consistent service being provided to others throughout the evening. Once seated, our **table server (I believe her name was Day)** was absolutely wonderful, pleasant, attentive, and professional. She checked on us several times and immediately improved the experience. However, after sitting down, I ordered **one additional cocktail**, and it took **another 15–20 minutes** to arrive. During that wait, I specifically noticed that most guests had already left the bar. I counted **only six people remaining**, yet the bartenders were cleaning glassware instead of preparing drinks. Our server came back and kindly apologized, saying my drink should be coming next. Ultimately, **neither of the two female bartenders made my drink**. Instead, the same male staff member who had initially taken care of us earlier came back, made my cocktail himself, and delivered it to our table. I’m not sure what the issue was, but it appeared that the bartender working the **far left side of the bar** initially had some sort of issue with us, and after speaking with the bartender on the **far right (near the entrance)**, that behavior seemed to carry over. Regardless of the reason, no guest should ever feel ignored, invisible, or selectively served. This experience was especially disappointing given that the restaurant has **automatic gratuity**. Hospitality means acknowledging every guest, regardless of appearance, assumptions, or personal bias. I appreciate the staff members who stepped in and provided excellent service, but the bar experience tonight was unacceptable. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and addresses consistency, professionalism, and accountability behind the bar. Bottled & Bond has been a go-to spot, but experiences like this make it very difficult to return or to recommend sitting at the bar.

Food was pretty good went with someone who frequently there . We got the. Chicken frien ribeye it was good but I guess this particular day it was friend harder than normal. The drinks here are awesome and bartenders are excellent. I did sit at a table my server was a C . Hence why I know how good tye bartenders are. Good place all and all . Oh they had an amazing women singer there made an excellent vibe

Everything was everything. And that bread pudding was spectacular! Me an the family will definitely be back! We arrived when they opened and had wonderful service from our waiter. The environment was beautiful. Food was delicious as well. We were later checked on by the chef who apologized for the delay in food. Apparently he was the only cook at the time. Our whole table gave him a round of applause. He did an amazing job even by himself.

Initial impression wasn't fantastic. We had a reservation on the restaurant side and were seated quickly but our server took a while to even acknowledge us. We read reviews mentioning dress code and it's on the website so we dressed nice and felt a little extra. Nbd but if you're reading this it's not FANCY. Just don't look like trash and give them a "reason" to kick you out. The DJ plays hip hop after a certain time on the parlour side and they are using dress code as an excuse to monitor the crowd IMO. Now the food was all very good! The first 2 were my favorite below. Jerk wings - crispy and flavorful. Awesome. Chicken fried ribeye - Amazing. Crispy but with a tender steak inside. Cacio e fungo - if you love mushrooms (I do) then go for it. It is a little heavy but that's basically what pasta is. I added a few shrimp and they were good as well. Deviled egg/old fashioned pairing - fun but probably wouldn't choose it again. The old fashioneds were just a little too sweet for me but that could be my personal preference. Extra little bonus - we went on a Friday night and they had live music. It was one lady but she was good. She did some good cover music and has some originals. I only wish they had a little seating area/lounge where you could just watch her when you were done eating.

Food and Ambiance were consistent! The service was fair. Waitress was nice, but just busy. This used to be a little tucked away spot, but now it's getting a lot more traffic and I'm excited for them.

Shauna took great care of us and presented us with the new menu updates. We enjoyed the smoked cherry old fashion and the new cocktail Shogun. The shogun had hints of citrus and ginger with infused gin. The crystalized ginger garnish just elevated the cocktail. You gotta take the chili salt rim with a bit of the ginger garnish to really let the flavors explode on your tastebuds. This place was already a favorite but the new updates are making it even better. Thanks Shauna for being so open and honest with your feedback but mostly you know that you like what you do since your smile didn't leave you even when it was super busy.

Went to this place for a friends birthday. There was a group of 6 of us and rusher together we had a good time. Service was good. Ambiance was great. Drinks were amazing. But the food was kinda TERRIBLE! The Jerk wings were pretty good and the meatballs were actually good as well but the burger was super salty and the fries screamed high blood pressure. The salmon bites were so bland, regular, smegular. No taste at all. The deviled eggs were just blah. Nothing much to really talk about. The shrimp and grits was so spicy that my friend couldn't eat it but the menu didn't say it was spicy??? The blackened salmon was just regular as well. Not really worth the cost. This bill was damn near $400 but really not worth the cost at all. Some things were pretty good but most things were not for at all. I wish the experience was better. I probably won't re-visit.

Omg! I had such an amazing time! I went here for my birthday! The music was really good which is different from what they normally play which is fine with me! The drinks was hand crafted and fresh! One of the best tequila old fashion Ive had in a while! I did have dinner before hand.. so I didn't have any appetizers or anything in the parlour! I'll def be back!

Great hangout spot with a cool ambience. We stopped for drinks and appetizers during happy hour on Sundays. Great service and unique drinks!!

Lovely neighborhood restaurant. Perfect for date nights. The dimmed lights and ambiance are just lovely. Pleasant staff members with great service. The restaurant itself is small, I thought it was bigger, but the setup isn't crammed with tables. The layout is nice. Drinks were very good. I tried the bison meatballs, and they tasted delicious. Nice service! I will definitely be back.

The food is excellent here! The portions are decently sized but we ate every single bite! Our friend got the steak frites which I don't have a picture of but it came with a ton of fries, which we all ended up sharing. They cooked all the proteins to perfection. They have a wide variety of alcohol available too but we didn't try any but they have varieties that we don't always see in other places. The service was friendly and efficient and attentive. The cocktail lounge is next door with a separate door so it's not connected. The restaurant is much livelier and has a casual vibe. We will definitely be back!

Went here to enjoy the bar last night. Bought one drink at the bar and the server (force gratuity) added a 20% to the bill on my one drink. And he didn't tell me. Just happened to see it when paying the bill. So how many other customers does this guy sneak a tip on and double dip on. I won't be going back. Seemed very dishonest to me. Does the bar condone this?

Last night was a special night. From the moment we got to the restaurant to the time left the staff was super accommodating and sweet. We were there to see a vocalist, Kaylina Michael's perform and enjoy the amazing food, and that we did. Hostess, Shelby, was so kind and wanted to make sure we enjoyed our evening with family/friends. Shout out to manager, Kevin, for making Kaylina's first performance there incredible and making her feel at home. Our waitress, Shauna, that's our girl! She remembered us from last time and catered to our group the entire night! The food and drinks were amazing per usual. I had the jalapeño shrimp and grits with collard greens. I always love getting there Mac and cheese too, I didn't this time but it is freakin fantastic! We will be back and I can't wait! Thank you again to the amazing staff at Bottled in Bond, I appreciate you.

This is a fun place in north, north Dallas ( or Frisco ) very upscale and full of energy. Nice long, fully equipped bar nice heavy chairs, decor is dark and trendy. We started with their signature drinks that are only 7$ during happy hour, along with a few select appetizers, chicken and biscuits and fried Mac n cheese balls. Nee selected a drink to start, a Cosmopolitan and an Aviation ( Gin, maraschino liqueur, crème Yvette, Lemon ) both very fresh and well made. The waitstaff is very easy going and we didn't feel rush. We had a mix of entrees at the table with a Salmon and veggies and I had an amazing chicken fried ribeye, with mash potatoes and gravy, very tasty. I include a few pictures, and for desert I had a smoked cherry old fashion, also included a picture after taking the cover off the top. Yum Overall great experience. I will be back!

Food was great, drinks were fantastic! Service was great as well. The atmosphere was very nice and their bonded hour is well worth it!

The upsides was how clean the place was and the cocktails were well crafted. However, I just paid $121 for dry, unseasoned chicken and drinks. I had to flag down the bartender every time I wanted to order something and then the food took forever. The most frustrating part is they never brought out our appetizer and at no point did anyone apologize. Just a "week took it off your bill".... Customer service needs a lot of work.

This was my second time going and it was a great experience once again! The food was well seasoned and had a great taste. It was a little noisy but it was also a Friday night with a live singer. The singer did a fantastic job! Their cheery smoked old fashioned is definitely a good try for those who are bourbon lovers or dark liquor lovers. The wait staff was very attentive to our table throughout the night. I also want to applaud who I assume to be the restaurant manager because he checked in every multiple times as he was walking back and forth.

nice place to hang out for drinks. food is good too. We sat at the bar, service was great. They have one of the best old fashion drinks in town - oh ya ! And the charcuterie board is cute and yummy if u like fig jams

We came here for a birthday party and loved it!! The wait staff was quick and such a fun group. The party had the whole place reserved and it was really laid out nicely. For dinner we got the steak and chicken dinner. The steak was a little over cooked but over all really good. For my side I got Brussels which were amazing!! With the chicken we got Mac and cheese which paired well. We will for sure be back!

Ok so I walked in and instantly wasn't greeted.. before I could even sit down at the bar a white gentleman with blonde hair proceeded to tell me that I wasn't in dress code because of my visor. He said hats weren't allowed.. so I ordered food To-go and walked out I checked the dress code policy online and it literally says nothing about hats. "ENTRY CAN/WILL BE DENIED REGARDLESS OF HAVING A TABLE BOOKED IF: Dress Code Is Violated. DRESS CODE ENFORCED (NO = Athletic Clothing/Swimwear, NO Sleeveless Shirts, NO Overly Excessive Baggy Clothing, Vulgar/Offensive Verbiage or Images on Clothing, NO Excessive Smoke Odor, NO Sunglasses inside covering eyes" Anyways the food was unseasoned & not good. I had the salmon & only took two bites out of it before I threw it in the trash. On a good note the Ambiance is nice the interior decoration is great but overall it's a no for me.

No! They add gratuity on drinks! Ridiculous! The bartenders did not want to be there at all. Horrible service!!

Dark and swanky. Cool place to have a cocktail. Appetizers did not disappoint. Loved the decor.

Went for an evening out with my friends!! No complaints from me. I made reservations for 6pm and had no issues getting seated. It was happy hour so a few of us got drinks which were tasty. I had the Steak Frittes with mac&cheese, others also got the steak with greens or fries. Someone also got the pork chop which was tasty as well. The food was really good... service was good as well. The vibe of the place is cool & chill. I'll definitely be back.

Amazing food! We loved Jimmy last night. What a great place this is. My only suggestion is to offer more desserts.

Celebrating a friends birthday and we immediately loved the ambiance as soon as we walked in. Didn't wait long to be seated and our server, Tristsan was very attentive. My only real complaint was the bison meatballs were cold, and the potato beignets need more salt. The sauce for both dishes however were amazing so that helped. Our entrees of the roasted chicken and steak frites - I ordered the grits instead of fries and a side of broccolini. Dessert...done right! The rum toffee bread pudding and the blueberry cake are both chefs kiss!! Definitely a great value and I'll be back to try other dishes!

Great food, Great service the only thing missing is cornbread and rolls also coffee and tea

5 out of 5 for sure! Come check this place out! I have been coming here for a while now and this place is amaze-balls! Food? 5 out 5! Cocktails? 5 out of 5! And if you're not feelin' this place - come check out their lounge next door, "Parlour! 2 thumbs from me - highly recommended! :)

I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I went on a Friday night and got to hear some amazing jazz played by a saxophone artist and that made my night. The drinks were amazing and I wasn't too hungry so I just ordered appetizers which were good as well. I highly recommend the deviled eggs and Brussel sprouts. My friends were not a fan of the entrees but Chef Lee came out and made it right.

Really enjoyed the menu items. The meatballs made from bison are outstanding. They have a great selection of liquor and a very good happy hour. Barkeep is outstanding.

Ambience is great. Speak easy vibes. Food has amazing taste. Steak was cooked perfectly and the espresso martini was made well, not too sweet. 10/10 recommend.

Love this place. Great music, atmosphere, drinks and food! Been a few times and never disappoints. Service is great

Stunning cocktail lounge in Frisco with speakeasy vibes & a gorgeous aesthetic! It's all in the details from the mirror ceiling, painted golden plants in bottles, mood lighting, & golden accents We loved the cocktails we ordered -- the smoky mezcal-based Oaxaca Old Fashioned & refreshing "Grow a Pear" cocktail made with gin, pear, ginger & lemon Perfect for an intimate evening all while supporting a black owned business. I can't wait to be back and try some of the food options next time! Note: this review is specifically for The Parlour, adjacent to and also owned by Bottled in Bond

This place is a VIBE. We visited for date night and the atmosphere was very intimate because of the low lighting, seating arrangements, & candles. I'm going to be honest-- the service when we initially visited was extremely off. We weren't tended to for the longest period of time and when we finally placed an order for our drinks, it seemed as though we were forgotten. Literally up to 30 minutes passed by and the waiter wasn't back to check on us to place our appetizer and/or meal orders even though it didn't seem too busy. We were already done with our drinks by that point. We were literally ready to go and asked for the check. It wasn't until the manager came by and made things right with us. He seemed genuinely apologetic for the service and asked for us to give them a second chance. He explained how the waiters were changing shifts and there was also a new hire on her second day of the job and how there was a simple miscommunication that happened. He took his time to assure we would be taken care of from that point on and even went over different items & recommendations on the menu. He promised they would provide better customer service and gave us drinks on him. Once we were able to get past that little bump, we did not regret staying! Let me tell y'all, the drinks were fire and the food was really delicious. We enjoyed our time & would definitely recommend y'all to visit for the vibes & food/drinks. It can definitely be a romantic spot or a good option to catch up with friends

The crazy rainstorm in Plano brought my husband and me to this place, and it wasn't too bad. I enjoyed my cocktail and my appetizer. I wasn't too crazy about my salmon as it was a little drier than I would like it. Aside from that, our server was great and the ambiance was really nice. Overall, I'd recommend the cocktails and their hummus appetizer.

Move over "mom's seafood and andouille sausage gumbo", a new sheriff's in town! I think I've officially found my [new] LAST MEAL ON EARTH! Chicken.... Fried..... Ribeye!!!! This is what you really want! Savory, salty, creamy, garlicky, and bacon-y....my 5 favorite adjectives! No thick and heavy breading for this bad boy and it actually sticks to the meat! Huge portion! No appetizer needed! Do yourself another solid and slide on over to the Parlour side and get a couple of Jungle Birds. Don't know what's in it but just take my word on this! Very good stuff!! Cool, speakeasy vibes, bring your sexy...ladies slap on a pair of heels; a face full of makeup isn't really needed. Fellas, a nice button down will do. Resys are strongly recommended, the earlier the better. (Cold months are here and this place isn't that big so we wouldn't want you and your pals waiting outside ;-) Anywho, this joint is definitely alright with me when I just want to be low key and have a good meal with a stiff drink. Enjoy!

This is a great date spot or great if you just want to go somewhere to enjoy friends. If you go in select days, you can hear live music or a DJ--who played all the hits! Seating is intimate but too intimate to where one might hear another's whole conversation. The restaurant has a dim, plush look to it. Their craft drinks are made with quality ingredients and are also visually pleasing. I ordered appetizers: deviled eggs and salmon bites (for my friend). The deviled eggs were good (but I think it's a pretty safe choice). My friend ate all the salmon bites and left not one crumb--they must have been delicious. When our entrees arrived, they were piping hot and made with fresh ingredients. The restaurant/lounge was quite busy with folks celebrating a birthday and other patrons just enjoying each other's company. With all the excitement going on, our host was still very observant of our needs. Empty plates, gone within a few minutes, drink glasses removed (but not before asking how we enjoyed them and if we wanted additional drinks). Our host was excellent! I enjoyed this restaurant and can't wait to visit again.

the two stars is kind of being nice... I had such high expectations but didn't enjoy myself here at all - sorry! I enjoyed three things total - the la mal vida cocktail (wonderfully sweet and spicy), the beignets (extremely rich but loooveeee), and the herb fries (stole about a million off of bf's plate). something weird was that EVERYTHING we ordered was sweet. the espresso? sauce they put on the pork & steak was insulting to the meat, shrimp was way over cooked, and I hated the sides on my pork chop dish. i am the kind of person who will eat an appetizing can of dog food lol, but I couldn't finish my plate. took it home citing the idea that i could just re-season at home but I doubt I'll want to reopen that to go box. the ambience is great and I like the kind of intimate layout, plus on the surface the menu seems very appetizing - it's just the seasoning that I think needs work. even the quail legs we were super excited to try were like... dessert level sweet. mac and cheese I just remembered we also got to sample was sweet and not memorable, leave for the raw breadcrumbs on top. (I feel at this point I should add I've never had COVID.... Lol) i don't like knocking on the service because you never know whose day was just not going well, or if it was your fault for whatever reason (I don't think the customer is always right!), our server was VERY sweet with a lovely personality but we came in 15 min after opening and any request was answered painfully slowly. there were maybe 4 other tables there. overall really disappointed that I spent ~$200 here; whenever my partner and I try a new place we'll sample a whole lot of things and end up finishing all of our food. this was a first. i wanted to leave pretty much after my second bite of my entree. hopefully it was just a bad start to the day!

Excellent ambiance, perfect for hanging out with friends and family. Quality of food is great and delicious. The waitress was very nice and service was fast.

Great cocktails and great service. Really cool place to take friends or coworkers. Best place in the area.

Great laid back restaurant and bar. So far everything I've tried both food and drinks have always been great. Bartenders always on point, especially the crew that's been there for a while. I hope they continue to work there. The general manager Kevin does a great job keeping the place going. Live music on Fridays is the bomb...if you can actually find a seat!! They also have a club/lounge next door to the restaurant, which has totally different vibes on different days. Overall one of the better spots in the Frisco area. Shout out to the owner Jason for this fine establishment!

We had appetizers and drinks. This is my go to place for whiskey tasting . Bartenders are knowledgeable and

Came here on a Friday with a friend and the female bartender that was working that night. Just her overall energy was terrible as if she did not want to serve us. We left after one drink because of this.

Love the ambiance and vibe of the place. Bartender was great, talented and nice. Cool, fun, vibe. Deviled eggs were ok, nothing to rave about. 5 stars was mostly for the atmosphere and vibe.

Met one of my girlfriends on the kitchen side for dinner. Love the ambiance and energy in the dining space. I started with a Vieux Carré (not pictured) and Black Eyed Pea Hummus (also not pictured) that was delicious, VERY flavorful. For my entree I chose Pan Roasted Salmon. The bourbon sweet corn succotash piqued my interest and did not disappoint along with the salmon. My dessert was truly the star of the show, Lemon Olive Oil Cake. The salted whip cream was an unexpected touch that really should be a part of every dessert! I will definitely be back to check out more of the menu and grab some drinks!

Kevin the GM was beyond rude. After we placed our order for food and drinks he came over to us at the bar and said we had to leave bc my dress floor length sundress showed cleavage. I've been here several times and never had any issues with cleavage. Even the 2 bartenders were confused and they said so. I guess things have changed in the last 2 weeks. I am not sure what's going on but to only have 7 people there it seemed odd to ask us to leave. I'm literally now next door with no issues. 20-30 minutes later I have received a response on Yelp from Kevin who states I was not "elegant" enough for their establishment. Odd he sent a private message instead posting a response for all to see. I'm a business owner and I get you set your own rules. I'm also a consumer and I'm entitled to review without being sent a private condescending message. New update- yes the third update in the SAME DAY: Kevin himself continues to private message me, harassing me as though he's a jilted, misogynistic lover. I simply wanted to leave a review but this back and forth is getting really uncomfortable to be honest. At this point I'm not sure I could ever go back given his hostility via private message. Although I Loved this place- at this point I personally will spend my dollars elsewhere.

Froufrou presentation, lack of taste or substance. Don't know how else to describe it. You go in to the nice ambiance, expecting some really good food. It's kind of meh dressed up like that's going to fool you or something.

Late one Sunday afternoon, while out in the area, I wanted a cocktail to cap off a great weekend and thankfully I remembered this place. Upon entering the host greeted us and asked if we had a reservation. Since we did not, we could sit at the bar which is exactly what I wanted to do. Shortly after being seated, Adam greeted us saying he would be with us shortly. This gave us time to check out the cocktail menu without feeling rushed. After a few minutes, Adam returned and took out cocktail order; one Old Fashioned and one Smoked Cherry Fashioned. While both drinks were amazingly made, I thoroughly enjoyed the Smoked Cherry Fashioned. They were so tasty that we ended up ordering a second round. On the time of my visit, Adam seemed to be the only bartender working and he did an amazing job of keeping up with the drink orders. This was no mere feat as many of the drinks required a significant amount of effort to mix and the fact he was able to keep up with the demand speaks volumes of his ability. Seating includes bar side stools along with quite a few table/chair combos through the space. Overall, they do an excellent job of maximizing the use of the space. Additionally, there is a patio out front which would be a cool place to hang out, of course, weather permitting. In addition to some great cocktails, they have a nice size menu. While we did not eat, the food I saw looked delicious. I had nice first visit and a return visit is on my list just so I can check out the food. If I lived in the area, this would be a frequent stop for me.

The service is always good. The manager is really friendly. The ambiance is nice. The cocktails are made out of fresh syrups. We are vegetarian so not much entree choices but they have fries and hummus etc which are decent.

A whole vibe!! Best Old Fashions!!! The bartender was great!! The music and ambiance was really cool and laid back. Went in later in the evening do the food choices were different than the dinner menu so I have to go back to try the food. But definitely a cool spot.

I wish there was a way to give The Parlour alone a great review! Was recently introduced to The Parlour (next to Bottled In Bond) from the hostess who informed my friend and I that they didn't have any open tables for the night. We walked over and walked in at the right time. There was a DJ playing all kinds of music and we had great attention from our bartender, Jason. We only had an appetizer, scallion and cheddar potato beignets, but it was amazing! Seems like they share the same kitchen as Bottled In Bond so I'd assume they share a lot of the same foods. Drinks were really fun and if you don't find something you love on the cocktail menu, they will make it for you! The ambiance was dark, intimate and sexy with really fun music. I highly recommend anyone in the Frisco area to check them out. To Jason (who I finally found out was the owner)- once there's a Yelp page for The Parlour, I will happily transfer this review over. Thank you for the amazing time!

(Late review... this was from 18 days ago). I already knew the drinks here were quite good and you can't beat the Sunday happy hour... I was more impressed with the food. This place is always an intimate and small vibe you can go to before heading out to bar hop in the area. I love Brussels spouts, and not every place makes them well, but I'll tell you their Brussels sprouts are extremely flavorful. The deviled eggs were also a surprise. Just like the Brussels sports, not everyone can make deviled eggs right, but they did pretty well. I also had some pasta dish and added bacon, shrimp, and chicken to it that was pretty good. This isn't my first time here, but I'll definitely be getting food more often in the future.

The food was excellent. We went during happy hour. The only thing that we ordered, and didn't like, were the greens. Other than that, we really enjoyed the deviled eggs, candied bacon, chicken sliders, jalapeño grits, etc. I have a reservation for next week!! I would give it 5 stars, but our waitress was very inattentive.
