Located close to the Franklin Street Medical District, Parallel Seventeen is a great place to have brunch, lunch, dinner and even late night fare. I love their Saturday & Sunday Brunch, the blueberry stuffed french toast is scrumptious, as are the kobe beef sliders + pommes frites. Did I mention they have BOTTOMLESS COCKTAILS as part of the brunch menu?! I love sitting on the quaint patio with a never-ending supply of guava mimosas, lychee bellinis and red & white sangria, savoring the food while watching the world go by!
In addition to their amazing lunch and dinner menus (which also offer many gluten-free & vegetarian-friendly options) they have a NEW happy hour menu, featuring $3, $4, & $5 food + drink specials. Parallel Seventeen eases Mondays with their all-night happy hour. It's a steal for $3 tuna tacos, $4 veggie spring rolls & $5 wines, all house infusions & red + white sangrias--what more could a girl ask for?!
Overall, dining at Parallel Seventeen is a very affordable indulgence! Their Duck Four Ways, Beef Short Ribs & Tuna Taro Tacos keep me coming back for more! I love the generous portions--I always have food leftover for lunch the next day! The bright atmosphere, knowledgable staff & expansive menus (both food & wine lists) always provide something new to enjoy. Highly recommended.
Pros: Attentive, knowledgable staff; innovative Vietnamese fusion
Cons: Smaller restaurant (more of a pro to me)
