Visiting Boston on business. My group and I went here for lunch and it was stellar. I had the Zuni Roll and I wish I could get another. The onion ring apps were very tasty. The beer selection is pretty good and the staff recommendations were spot on. Staff was great as well and attentive. Highly recommend.

Tons of beer and sandwich options, with one of the best preparations of eggplant I've ever had – an eggplant milanesa torta, eggplant sliced thin, breaded and fried then stacked with a black beans spread, avocado, chipotle aioli, and melted oaxaca cheese. Can't recommend highly enough.Vegetarian options: The Eggplant Milanesa is incredible – they really transformed the texture and flavor of the eggplant into something magical. That said, there aren't many options outside that on their menu; if you're looking for more variety, you might not find it here. Still, I'd recommend going just to try that sandwich – it's worth it for that alone.

3/20/24 Wednesday I ordered my food about 40 mins ago. Parish can you please make sure you give the delivery person everything that the customer PAID FOR? Order #767325620915069 I Ordered PARISH SMASH BURGER Burger $27.08 and Saratoga Sparkling Water $5.90 YOU DIDN'T RECEIVE my water that I paid $6 bucks for! I like your food but I will not be ordering again from this place! This is messed up that I was ROBBED of my beverage I paid for but didn't GET!!

We went here because it looks crowded so we thought it meant it would be great, the issue is with the crowd came a wait. It seemed like they were understaffed, people were running around but we still had long waits and no one came to clean our table or refill our drinks. The food was good, we got the fox, it was large enough to share. The bread made the sandwich!

Nestled in the heart of Boston, this sandwich shop is an absolute gem. I first heard about it from a friend who insisted that it was a must-visit spot, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the shop's cool, laid-back vibe. The decor was a mix of modern and rustic elements, with exposed brick walls and minimalist wooden tables that gave the space a warm, inviting feel.One of the most unique aspects of the shop is the fact that each sandwich is crafted and inspired by a different chef, giving each menu item its own distinctive flair. I found this concept to be fascinating, and it added an element of excitement to the ordering process. After perusing the menu for a few minutes, we finally settled on the Bravas and the Rialto sandwiches, and we were not disappointed.The Bravas sandwich was a true standout. Inspired by Chef Cassie Piuma of Sarma - sweet onion butter, prosciutto, chorizo, manchego cheese, crispy Brussels sprouts, garlic aioli, cilantro, and hot sauce, on a grilled sesame torta bun, served with potato salad, it was a flavor explosion with every bite. The Rialto, meanwhile, was an option inspired by Chef Jody Adams of Rialto. It has thin sliced prosciutto, buffalo mozzarella, basil pesto, garlic-rubbed texas toast sided with mixed greens, sun-dried tomatoes, and pine nut vinaigrette. I was pleasantly surprised by how satisfying and filling the Rialto was.But perhaps the biggest surprise of the meal was the Brussels sprouts. I'll be honest - I'm not usually a fan of this cruciferous vegetable. However, the chef at this sandwich shop managed to prepare them in a way that completely won me over. They were roasted to perfection with a sprinkle of sea salt, giving them a crispy, savory flavor that was irresistible.Aside from the food, I was also impressed with the level of service we received. I was with someone who has a peanut allergy and was pleased to see that the staff took it seriously. They were incredibly accommodating and made sure to prepare our food in a way that would not put her at risk. In fact, they even offered to customize our sandwiches to fit our dietary preferences, which was a nice touch.All in all, I would highly recommend this sandwich shop to anyone in the Boston area. The combination of delicious food, creative chefs, and attentive service make it a standout destination in the city. I can't wait to come back and try some of the other menu items - I have a feeling they'll be just as delicious as what we had today.

For some reason, Parish Cafe never entered my radar as a place to try, even though I had walked past it dozens of times. At the suggestion of a friend who had been before, however, I tried it out to great & welcome surprise. Their simple chicken entree seemed cooked to perfection. The breaded chicken cutlet had just the right amount of breading to soak up the savory, buttery pan sauce without overwhelming the dish. The addition of capers and vibrant tomatoes added a delightful contrast of flavors, making every bite irresistible. Their Peanut Butter Cocktail actually tasted like peanut butter in the best possible way. Smooth, creamy, and utterly delicious. Their sandwiches arrive on quality bread. One that I tried arrived on focaccia rosemary bread, which puts other focaccias to shame. Each bite proved more aromatic than the last, but somehow without overwhelming the other ingredients in the sandwhich.

Amazing sandwiches that are fresh, inventive, and filling. My favorite that I keep going back for is the chicken sandwich but all the others I’ve tried have been equally delicious. The owner Erin is very sweet and welcoming. Always leave with a happy belly :)

I stopped in for lunch. It was a cold day so I had the Tomato Bisque and the Taquitos. Both were delicious! Service was excellent, they were busy but I never felt rushed to be done. They have a nice selection on their menu and bar. I would recommend!Wheelchair accessibility: There was a ramp leading up to the building and a ramp once inside
I ordered Le Mistral sandwich and onion rings, both of which were very fresh and delicious. The sandwiches are on the expensive side ($25 each) but they are large and can be shared between two people, especially if appetizers or sides are ordered. Service was slow, despite the fact that I came at a quiet time. Took 15 mins just for someone to stop by my table to take my order.

Not much in the way of healthy or vegetarian options, but what we did get was excellent. Onion rings came out piping hot. A bit high on the breading to onion ratio, but still a solid option. Service was good although the host was a bit brusque. Seating was pretty cramped, too. I’m still giving them five stars, though, because I would definitely go back.
