3 /5 Kenneth Davis: A bit disappointed with Parish on Cherry. The food was average or below at best. Im not a discriminating eater, but everthing seemed over salted. My wife stated that her Red Beans & Rice was tasteless. She didnt even finish her small cup. I had the Po Boy fried oyster sandwich. It was pretty good. The best item was the fries. These maybe the best fries Ive had in a long time. Everyone agreed that the hushpuppies were not tasty at all.
Our server must have been new or inexperienced. Several times we had to ask twice for something. Very nice guy, and he seemed to be trying very hard. We are a very laid back group, and as such we gave him a lot of slack.
The most disturbing thing that we experienced was the way our drinking glasse were handled something Ive never experienced before. When our glasses of water needed refilling the waiter would grab up all the mug style glasses and take them back to refill them. The rims on the glasses were touching and we were certainly not sure that the glass returned to us was our glass. Water should be refilled at the table, or fresh glasses brought out to the table.
One person in our party was served warm beer. The manager replaced his beer with a substitute because the beer he wanted could not be served cold at the time. Another person in our group ordered a Blue Moon beer, but she was informed that they were out. A third person ordered one of Parishs signature cocktails. but they lacked some of the ingredients to make this drink.
Eat inside if possible. Traffic noise was pretty bad. Lots of motorcycles with loud pipes. Not Parishs fault, but we would have eaten inside if we had known that.
I might stop in for just fries next time, but nothing else.
