The Parish

A solid 4 out of 5, with more hits than misses. + We called ahead, said we were 15 minutes away, and were promptly seated with a choice of indoor or out. It was a beautiful Memorial Day Monday, so we opted for outside. - We waited a little longer than necessary for our waitperson to come to our table. She apologized in that she hadn't seen us get seated. + Waitperson was helpful, friendly, and even fun, too. Great service after a slow start. + The okra bites appetizer was plentiful, perfectly seasoned, and the dipping sauce wonderful. +/- The crab cake sandwich was good, but not great. The burger was the same. It was a good meal, but fell a little short of 'wow, we've got to come back here again soon.' + The key lime pie was tasty, especially the crust. All in all, a solid 4 out of 5. The waitstaff made the experience great.

Nicest restaurant in new paltz, with the best view of the mountains in town. The staff is friendly and attentive, without being intrusive. Honestly the best quality food served in new paltz. There something for everyone on the menu. Matt and Kerry are amazing as well as the whole parish family. I highly recommend The Parish to first timers, the locals already know why.❤️ Matt’s signature cocktail’s are amazing if you just want a warm drink (alcohol or alcohol free) in the winter, or cold one in the summer, you can’t beat the selection.

Had the best dessert I think I’ve had to date. The strawberry shortcake was so good I accidentally ate it all before I got to take a picture. The alligator bites were also bussin. Cajun seasoning hit the spot and the lemon was a great touch. Had a really good experience here

Ate here 2/13. Service our server was great. Atmosphere is pretty chill. Food was good and had a nice flavour. I got a side salad, alligator bites, and a cup of gumbo Portions are decent. The only reason for the point deduction is some of the prices are a bit much (the one that stood out the most was $11 for mac and cheese (?!) And I think the brownie dessert is $15) Misc: they need to update their menu on their website because some of the prices are shown do not match the menu you are given. Esp important if you budget your money Misc#2: Forgot to take a picture before removing all the sliced carrots to the side. Everything is mixed in (I forgot to tell them no carrots so that's my fault)

Surprisingly good New Orleans style menu! Friendly staff, great service. Locals already know.

We stopped in The Parish for lunch. My husband had the jambalaya with shrimp, I had the Mac and cheese with crawfish. I liked his better. The shrimp had a smokey taste. Mine was just okay. The service was very good and the atmosphere was very homey. I would go back again.

News Orléans vibes✨Crab cake with salad, Gumbo stew with shrimp, Mac n'cheese with Beacon, spicy margarita.... It was extremely good. Lovely and welcoming service. Bar is huge. View is amazing
