Our Story
The Parlour Room Bar and Grill is a classic American restaurant nestled in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. We take pleasure in hosting our guests in a truly warm, beautiful, and thoughtfully appointed dining room and bar, where no request is too big or small.
Our new menu, created by our Executive Chef Luther Dowdy, features craveable, delicious dishes. Dowdy, an alumnus of the kitchens of acclaimed chefs Thomas Keller, Jean Georges and Greg Baxtrom, is focused on taking classic dishes and adding fun, contemporary twists. The Island Creek Oysters are dressed in Ronnybrook Farm buttermilk that Dowdy elevates with chive oil and trout roe. Our Clams Casino Bucatini is a take on the classic Rhode Island dish of baked clams, but we put our twist on the preparation with Baker's bacon, fermented chili and manilla clams. Our Chicken Kiev offers a mdern twist on a classic dish, with origins traced back to 1847 in Marie-Antoine Carême's cookbook. We stuff an airline chicken breast with garlic herb butter, coat it in breadcrumbs, and deep fry it. It's paired with chicken leg confit in schmaltz, served alongside pommes purée, glazed green peas, and thyme-scented chicken jus. And lastly, our iconic Parlour Burger is a blend of brisket and short rib, cheddar, shaved onions, pickles, and our special P-36 Sauce.
Another point of pride is our collection of 450 of the world’s finest whiskeys, a treasure trove for whiskey enthusiasts, with selections from Ireland, Scotland, Japan, the United States, Canada and beyond. In addition to our extensive whiskey collection, our full beverage program is a homage to literary legends like Edgar Allan Poe, J.D. Salinger, Oscar Wilde, F. Scott Fitzgerald to name a few. At The Parlour Room, each cocktail is influenced by these literary titans and directly tied into their history and work. Our signature American Whiskey cocktail "The Raven" is a spirit forward theatrical drink inspired by Allan Poe's masterpiece and an homage to the poet, who was a lover of whiskey.
As guests step into our establishment, they will be transported to a world of stately and timeless decor, evoking the elegant charm of a bygone era. Join us at the Parlour Room Bar and Grill for an unforgettable dining experience that will surely make you reminisce about the glorious elegance of times long past.
