I like parlor market. It was one of my favorite restaurants in jackson area. I haven't been back since they reopened. Good to hear that the new chef is keeping the quality up.
 
Agree with Spivey on PM. Hands down best food in town.

Was given a Table 100 gift card so we went there for our anniversary on Tues night. B- at best. C if I had paid it all out of pocket. I've heard lots of good about the place, so I'll give it one more try before I totally write it off.

I know Parlor Market doesn't get a lot of love on this thread, but I was there again last night and had another wonderful meal. We had and shared:

Dozen raw Chesapeake Bay oysters
Rabbit meatballs
Seared duck breast (wild game special)
Hanger steak and eggs
Charcuterie plate that had salami, duck bologna, mac and cheese terrine, beef & pork terrine, homemade pickles, and pickled green beans (I was sad the duck breast prosciutto wasn't on the plate this time around, but they do everything in-house so it rotates).

I don't know of anyone else in Jackson serving this type of food. I'm all for the staples like Shapley's, Walker's, and Nick's. And I like the newer joints like Ely's and Ro Chez, but none of them are making this type of food at this level.

Wow that sounds good. I just never think of it. If PM was in fondren or ridgeland/Madison it would be a gold mine.
 
Where is parlor market? i've never been either, but I eat out enough to where I should check it out.

I can't wait to hear your review if you think Walker's has a complex menu :doh:
 
I'm coming in late but my 2 cents...
Parlor-
Far as I'm concerned it's a lion among lillies. In a town that has more chain BS than anything, it's a breath of fresh air. The menu is always eclectic, and entices you to step out of your comfort zone if your comfort zone is run of the mill. They don't do everything perfectly, but it's a great attempt at making southern root foods appeal to any foodie's palette.

Walkers-
I like, but wasn't wowed. It's all an over done spin on something done before. In Nola, it would be rolled in to an already full category of solid, yet predictably mediocre menus. It's good, but nothing super special.

Table 100-
It's fine for Jackson but would sink anywhere else. The duck is consistently over cooked, and again with the fact that nothing sticks out as stellar on the menu.

Fun, hip, something unexpected-
Parlor- hands down

Done before, solid, not amazing-
Walkers

I'm into a $100 meal and don't feel like leaving Dogwood-
Table 100.
Or you could order enough mexican at el sombrero to feed a small village in Colombia.

Just sayin.


Shush-
La peniche for breakfast ( marigny-short cab ride) known for waffles and pancakes
And the Benedict.

Irene's for dinner- get the duck and the oysters with bruschetta
Or Muriels for the crawfish crepes.
If you can get reservations at bayona it's worth it to put on a jacket... Just a thought.


Lunch I'd be tempted to hit the world famous muffalettas at central grocery for something cheap but good. Otherwise I'm with lenny- k Pauls or with Nolen on palace cafe. Yummy crawfish crab cheesecake.

I'm hungry.

If you wanna get off the beaten path, Holla.
