Parish

No Parish is complete without a couple of naked boys fondling each other ... and that's exactly what you will see at this joint. At least they're not kneeling. Pew!

The fugly Grecian-esque statues could possibly be more asinine than the jewel encrusted dog at Aria. But overall the space is designed beautifully. I feel bad for the person sitting next to it nuzzling it's crotch but at least it looks manscaped. Talk about working up an appetite!

The vittles are pretty tasty... if you know what to order. I heard mix reviews on some of the dishes so we stayed away from them. The chalk board menu is hard to read even squinting my non-Asian eyes didn't help. A green apple on every table... was it a test from the Yahweh God? I dare not tried... I saw what the Ark can do in Indiana Jones.

The Bread in a bag looked like a Hot Pocket. It tasted like a Hot Pocket nuked for way too long.

Parish Sausage Trio was very tasty... distinct taste in each of the tubesteak, The honey mustard sauce was a bit too sweet, it overpowered the flavor. Green and red tomato salad with sprouts were forgettable.

Strawberry and Spinach Salad was like kudzu... we kept eating and eating and it kept growing back. Nothing but filler. Salads need seasoning too people!

Chicken Fried Duck Confit was lightly battered and flash fried... this was G O O D. Crispy and fork tender. A new spin on the croque-monsieur was made with phyllo instead of bread... not too shabby.

Seaboard Farms Braised Pork Cheeks was super tender... just well prepared. The Johnny Cake filled with what looked like minced crawfish was just a side show. Another dry filler to make you drink more!

The market/deli downstairs was very cute and cozy... definitely gonna go back and try the Oyster Po'Boy. This is definitely one of the better Concentrics restos.

3.5 Stars... mebbe 4 stars if I don't have to goto confession afterwards.

AMEN.
