Service was friendly, beer was cold but the top of the can was dirty...had the mac and cheese which tasted as though it had not been strained thoroughly therefore tasted like bland boiled water minus any creamy cheese.

I have been to Parish Café many times, and it always delivers. Located just around the corner, it is my go-to spot when I want a great sandwich and a strong beer selection. The menu is full of creative options, with each sandwich inspired by a local chef, which gives the place a fun and unique twist on the typical café experience.

There is plenty of outdoor seating along Boylston, which is perfect on a nice day. Inside, the atmosphere is casual and energetic but not overwhelming. The staff is always friendly, and service has been consistently reliable during my visits. Whether you are stopping in for a laid-back lunch, a casual dinner, or drinks with friends, it fits the occasion.

The beer list is extensive and pairs well with the food. The entire place strikes a nice balance between thoughtful and approachable. Parish CafĂ© may not be fancy, but it delivers where it counts—flavor, location, and vibe. It remains one of my favorite spots in Back Bay.

I can’t speak more highly about this place! We travel to Boston 2-3 times a year and this is a must stop 1-2 times during our trip. The food is amazing, especially Rachel’s Hot Sister (literally get it every time). The concept is so unique and makes such a great place to eat. The one thing I wish that was different is that dogs are allowed on the patio, but that seems to be more of a Boston downside than this specific restaurant.

My wife and I went to Parish tonight for a date night — we love their food and have always considered it one of our go-to spots. We sat outside, ordered, and got our food quickly. About ten minutes into eating, though, the experience went downhill.

At around 9pm, a woman came by twice asking if we wanted boxes. We said no both times — we were still eating and enjoying ourselves. I even ordered another drink. Another staff member came over asking if we were “all set,” making it clear they wanted us to leave.

We chose Parish specifically because they’re open until 2am and figured it would be a nice, relaxed night out. Instead, we felt rushed out halfway through our meal after spending $100. We ended up going somewhere else to actually enjoy the rest of our evening. Really disappointing for a place we’ve always liked.
