Nestled in a charming setting, Parallel 38 offers an enticing selection of small plates that captivate the palate. Diners rave about the variety, with standout dishes like the white bean salad and tender lamb. However, some critiques highlight slow service, particularly during busy periods, suggesting a need for improved efficiency. Noise levels can also detract from the experience, especially in communal dining spaces. Despite these concerns, the overall ambiance and excellent drink options make Parallel 38 a worthy destination for intimate gatherings or special occasions.

what an experience! I loved everything about this place. I was in P38 in the old position, but it was a few years. the new location is a bit more difficult to find (although I should just miss) but we were not disappointed. the server gave us excellent recommendations and we enjoyed everything we had. highly recommended.

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.

Most excellent pita bread. Entrees were all superb.
What an experience! Loved everything about this place. I had been to P38 in the old location but it had been a few years. The new location is a little harder to find (well, I should say easy to miss) but we were not disappointed. The server made excellent recommendations for us and we enjoyed everything we had. Highly recommend this place.
The evening was perfect for dining al fresco. Our food was delicious and the portions were generous.
Great small plates and good service. Will always come back.

Highly affordable and incredibly delicious. The hot pita bread is absolutely divine.
The evening was ideal for outdoor dining. Our meal was delicious, and the portion sizes were quite generous.
Usually great food but it was Valentines Day and most restaurants suck on that day. First time eating indoors and found the trance/chill music annoying. Mostly we love it here but this day was a bit off.
Food was good; ambience was not; restaurant is very noisy. Overall I would not choose to return.
Excellent experience! Food was very good. Lamb was outstanding! Very very tender. Steak was average. Chicken was very good. Brussel sprouts were outstanding as was hummus
