A: We came in around 8:00 for dinner on a weeknight, the place was fairly dead. I'm pretty sure my baked potato was cooked that morning, it was hard. My salad tasted like dirt. My boyfriend's chicken was very thin and in-turn very dry. He did however love the baked beans which appeared to have pulled pork in it.

A: I've been here 3 times now. The first time I ordered off the menu and got tempura shrimp tacos. They were delicious! As my side, I got the potato salad. It wasn't your ordinary potato salad; it's more of a cold german potato salad (with vinegar) - which I liked. The second time I went I ordered the lunch special, a sandwich called "Beefona". It was a pork tenderloin sandwich with lettuce, mayo and the awesomely delicious pickled cucumbers. Although the service that day was way too slow, once my meal came out and I got a few bites in, the sandwich helped that the service was slow. The pork was also a bit overcooked, but you know when you're hungry it sometimes just doesn't matter. Besides, it all tasted good anyway! I took the fam last night, dined al fresco and once again decided to try the special on the board. It was a noodle bowl with mushrooms and gravy. It also had carrots and celery. Even though a veggie dish (which I usually don't order), this tasted very good. I suggested that adding red pepper and green onion would have been a good addition to the dish. KC was out of red pepper that day but said it would have been in if he had it. All in all, my experience has been a 3 for 3 on the food and a 2 for 3 on the service. (BTW, our waitress last night was so friendly and made the dinner enjoyable.)

A: Our beagle, Duncan, attends daycare at The Barker Lounge 4x a week while we are at work. To say he loves it is an understatement! My boyfriend and I adopted Duncan from a local rescue about 2 months ago and initially, he was very shy and timid... especially in the car. Now he gets antsy in the morning to go to "school" and jumps right in the car! No more fear! His whole body wags when he's greeted by the BL staff in the morning. Everyone has been very nice and we can tell when we pick him up that he had a great time! The entire facility is very clean and bright. The staff is always friendly and happy to see all of the dogs.

A:
I really liked The Parlor. Great good, fun atmosphere, good drinks and a great contemporary feel. Some damn good desert pizza!
