    Great place to eat before shows and concerts at the State Theater. It was very busy and they only had 5 wait staff, including bartender and hostess. Had to wait a long time for drinks, refills and to get our bill.

    With our reservation, we were seated almost immediately. I had the walleye dinner with asparagus and wild rice which was superb for the money. Great place to eat before any downtown venue. Parking was right around the corner.

    We were a table of four and we all ordered different things that we agreed were fantastic! We would all go back. The service was excellent as we had had tickets for a performance at the State Theatre and had plenty of time to enjoy our dinner (with dessert) on a Saturday night and a quick walk to the State to enjoy our show. There was valet parking also, so that solved that problem as well. I would recommend Parlay Kitchen & Bar.

    We went here before going to a show downtown last night. I had the impossible burger, and my husband had the hot chicken sandwich . The food came out hot, which is always my biggest concern at a restaurant. I loved the truffle fries. My husband thought his onion rings were okay. We each had a margarita, and the service was good. I'd definitely go back.
