Was Fern Ratke at Parallel 38 a mag?
Took my family there for dinner the night before Easter. Everything about the experience was fantastic, even though it was a busy holiday weekend. Highly recommend. View all feedback.

What Fern Ratke dislikes about Parallel 38:
We had a very nice selection of small plates that we shared, all of it tasty. And sitting on the porch on a balmy evening was delightful, until the train went by, directly below us. View all feedback.

What an amazing experience! I loved everything about this restaurant. I previously visited the old location, P38, a few years ago, and while the new location is a bit harder to find (though that might have been my fault), we were not disappointed at all. The server provided us with excellent recommendations, and we thoroughly enjoyed each dish. I highly recommend this place!
