I really love the place and ambience, as it’s in the old eagle house. The nibbles and drinks are a bit pricey but they are worth the lounge experience.I wasn’t too happy about the wait, specifically in regard to having to pay. Granted, I came in at a busy night but the lack of crowd control for the bar is definitely not it. You have people cutting in front of you or just surrounding the bar at all angles, not forming a linear system whatsoever.It turned me off how when I got to the bar, none of the immediate staff knew how to redeem the parlor’s gift certificate. A bit disappointed, I’m hoping to come back on a better date.

Very cool vibe and interesting food menu. Located in the Eagle House. My review is way over do so they may not have the food choices we ordered but the experience was great and would recommend going and seeing what they offer now. My husband and I really enjoyed everything we tried and even ate the micro greens.

Rude staff. I was in town for one night and it appeared closed for a special event. The signs made that clear on the door. Not a big deal! Since I am not a local, we went to the place next door which actually ended up apart of it but it looked open to us. The hostess there kindly and friendly told us it was closed for a special event. We were set to turn and leave when she mentioned that just the bar (with the entrance that had the sign on) was opened still so we went back into the other entrance. There, we were confronted by another hostess. Instead of just explaining it was actually closed for the private event, she said she saw us get turned away by the other hostess and accused us of trying to sneak into the event when we had just been misinformed. All I wanted was a drink & if I knew it was closed for a private event as we had thought (and there were signs too!) we would have just walked to the Sirens Song close by instead as I would not have wanted to waste anyone’s time. I understand it was just a misunderstanding but didn’t like how we were scolded/shamed when we were just honestly trying to be patrons and wouldn’t want to crash a private event.

You had me at parlor! Ambiance so unique and fun... you know loungie! Wonderful kind and attentive staff! Perfect menu to make a meal on appetizers (or not). Caesar salad with real anchovies, curry soup to die for, fresh local oysters to name a few. All generous servings & reasonable cost as well! Did i forget to mention the craft cocktails. Fun names, creative ingredients, fresh & beautiful presentation! Don't miss this gem when you're in town... if you're local .... Lucky you, take advantage of this place by visiting frequently not just because sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name!

Stopped for a drink and enjoyed happy hour. Staff we very friendly- can’t comment on the food as we didn’t eat.
We stopped in on a Saturday night and they had a limited 5 item menu to “provide better service”. We got tacos, Mac and cheese and vegan curry. They were out of the 4th item and the other option was a mixed green salad. The food took 25minutes to come out. The curry was lukewarm and rice was undercooked. It was the worst curry I have ever had at a restaurant. The tacos were the worst street tacos I have ever had. The Mac and cheese was mac and cheese - uninspired. My wife got a soda water to drink, which was flat.It’s an interesting place and our waitress was nice. It was one of the few places open and serving food at 9:30pm on a Saturday in Eureka. We were grateful for a meal but overall disappointed. I was really excited to check this place out. It sort of seems like there chef quit or something - I’m notSure. Very different experience than what we anticipated from the reviews.

Great menu with contemporary dishes made to perfection. One word "curry" -you will not be disappointed. Excellent, friendly attentive service from everyone. The interior is really next level. I would want to hire the designer if I ever opened a restaurant.

Went twice during an event, several months apart. I've wanted to enjoy the place and after a first soso experience, went back for arts alive. If the music is playing next door, it's still super loud on the lounge side, ok so we yell a bit. They always seem either understaffed or undertrained and it almost feels like you are walking on eggshells trying to get a drink or food item listed on the menu... they seem to have little foresight for and maybe experience with busier nights. Bartender has to look up Pimms cup, didn't know what a Sazerac was and stated at 8pm that since they were slammed tonight these were the last speciality cocktails they would make ? I didn't realize those qualified as complicated drinks..Got a $10 orange blossom almond tart that was a 2" wide, 1" tall, very cold compact cheesecake like Sara Lee style slice. Not impressed.Waitress acted aloof at first, brought a pitcher of water but no glasses... Come on it's Humboldt, not the Bay area!Won't be dropping any $ or kind words about the place any time soon. Thank goodness for the speakeasy, where we finished off the night with a few well made drinks by a pleasant, efficient and yet busy bartender who didn't bat an eye at the Pimms mix drink and other requests.. THAT place has never disappointed.
Love it, lots of fun!
