My favorite restaurant in Monroe. The menu changes regularly, with some staples always on there, and the new menu items always something unique. Regardless of which way your order, it will always be well made and delicious. Service is top notch, from someone answering the phone, or greeting and seating you, to the bartenders, waitstaff, and the folks bussing tables. The drink and wine selection is fabulous, as well. I highly recommend this as a great celebratory night out, or high-end date night, or just treating yourself. It's worth every dollar.

A Culinary Delight and worth the drive! ?✨Drove from Shreveport to have dinner at Parish Restaurant! It’s always delightful. The ambiance is fun and inviting, the staff super friendly, and the dishes are a real treat to the taste buds. Highly recommend their Seafood Sampler Appetizer when it’s available—truly a flavor explosion! Every dish we tried was a hit, and I loved the Blackberry Rum Punch cocktail. We tried the Veal Parmesan, the Lousiana Shrimp & Tasso Pasta, and the Quail Shrimp & Grits. All amazing. Make sure you take bites from your friend’s plates, you’ll be glad you did. Joshua was a very attentive and informative server, giving recommendations and just an overall great attitude. Can’t wait to return and sample more of Cory’s delicious offerings! A perfect spot for any food lover looking for a top-notch dining experience. Will definitely be back soon! ?️✨P.S. The Murder Point Oysters are divine!

The restaurant itself is fun and vibrant, the food however was heavy without any bright points or relief from fried, sauce, or fatty. Nice wine list, cocktails were overly sweet. A little refinement and this could be a beautiful menu.

Over all an absolute must in Monroe. The chef doesn’t let any detail slip through the cracks. Everything is elevated but approachable. The staff is inviting and welcoming. From appetizers to NY whiskey sours this place is a 10/10. You will see camo and three piece suits here.

Food was delicious, per usual. The duck wraps are phenomenal and the whipped burrata was unreal. Never had any complaints with anything on their menu so this being less than a 5 star review is a bit hard to write.Would give 5 stars but I deducted because I am a little disappointed we couldn't use the gift cards we had. Our best friends gifted them to us two Christmases ago but there's somehow no record they were purchased and they had no verifiable balance, so we had to pay out of pocket - which wasn't expected for my husband's birthday dinner. The manager did state they had issues with their gift cards "a couple years back" but I don't feel that much investigating was done past the initial "there's no record of this" so it was a bit disappointing.Rule of thumb: don't let gift cards go past a year. Couple months to be safe.Otherwise great food.

My Fiance and I heard about this restaurant through one of my co-workers. I was afraid of being treated differently because of our age but that was NOT the case. We were treated like everyone else. We did go again about two weeks later because of how much we love the food, and we waited for 40 minutes before anyone paid attention to us, and we were the only people seated since it was a later reservation. HOWEVER, I do not believe in being rude on just misunderstandings. After getting attention of a hostess and not overreacting about it, our orders were immediately taken and our apps came to us within 10 minutes after. Our food was perfect separated out so we did not feel rushed, and the owner was more than generous with how he compensated our wait. I absolutely love this restaurant and WILL be returning. I cannot see why anyone wouldn't love the chef and his work. If you are planning on going, you have to try the deviled eggs and the scallops. And to the owner, please keep scallops on the menu for March 30th because I WILL be ordering them!

I always have a good experience at Parish. The drinks are great and I like the different options on the menu. The only downside is, the building is small and it is often hard to get a reservation for the time you want.

One of those 10 out 10 spots for me, hands down.My Fiancée and I eat here every time we are within a stone's throw from Rayville, LA. If you want to teleport via your senses, indulge in a few truly unique cocktails, munch on a quick gourmet appetizer, or spend an evening dining to your wildest content, I welcome you to cease your search and reserve a table at Parish.As if the food and libations aren't enough, ask for Tomas as your server. Yeah yeah, the first time server-diner experience is a ritual as old as time but have you EVER just been freaking taken care of? Not "waited on" ... taken CARE of. From the second our heels hit the floor until our hands were on the car doors post dessert, we were fortunate enough to have bonded with this excelsior.The awesome gravity of the matter is, this fine gent is going forth to specialize in the health industry where he will, with any luck, remind these modern quack healthcare professionals how a real doctor should act.Bravo to Parish on all of the above. The Diamond of the Delta.

Man, oh, man. When I think of good food and where I should travel to eat good food, Monroe, Louisiana, doesn't even crack the top 100 on my list. But after eating at Parish, Monroe is in my top five! Hidden away in an industrial area, Parish comes upon you with its bright ambience. Walking in, I wasn't quite sure what to expect but I'm glad we came here. The food was exceptional, the staff were friendly, and I was blown away by the whole experience. I walked out full and happy. I will recommend this place until I am blue in the face. Come hungry and leave highly satisfied!!
