text: Let me preface by saying that I am not a desk jockey that writes reviews on restaurants based on portion size wait time and how important they made me feel It is about the food My credentials are years back of the house fine dining experience and years dining professionally as a fine wine distributornIve never had a bad meal at The Parlor and generally find myself talking for days about whatever the latest seasonal menu item I have tried is That said any restaurant is destined to have an inconsistency now and then It is just never happened to me here nLet me get to the point I am a very adventurous eater but now and then when I find a classic dish that is executed in superb fashion I will fall back to it time and time againnTHE PARLOR MAKES THE BEST CAESAR SALAD IN THE VALLEY It is such a simple preparation yet somehow of valley restaurants do something to screw it up They either deconstruct it and make it a chore to eat or put there own twist on it that completely takes it out of the realm of what a caesar salad is How arrogant nToo all other PHX restaurants Just because you use romaine does not make it a Caesar nnLessonnnCaesar Salad Chopped or torn Romaine hearts Creamy parmesan and anchovy emulsion fresh toasted and seasoned croutons and some shaved Parmigiano ReggianonnTHANK YOU PARLOR PIZZERIA FOR KEEPING IT REAL
