What User 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.

As vegetarians, we enjoy the range of selections here. Staff are always pleasant and helpful.

The hardest part is not always ordering your favorite things when the menu has such amazing variety.

Everything was amazing except the chicken sandwich... the chicken tasted like it was reheated... everything else we ate was awesome!

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!

The evening was ideal for outdoor dining. Our meal was delicious, and the portion sizes were quite generous.
