Read morePart and Parcel should be on everyone’s list to eat. It’s a hidden delight in Quadra! We’ve been to Part and Parcel twice already, and to be honest, they’ve never missed the mark on anything. The food is exceptional, and hits the spot all the time!
We called to make a reservation the day of, and the manager was very accommodating in booking us a table despite Fridays being very busy. We also found out the special menu features as we had mentioned that we are pescatarians. When we got there, we were greeted by her warm smile, and we enjoyed the inviting atmosphere, cozy and airy vibes.
I appreciate that all of their dishes are perfect for sharing, as we got to try as many dishes as we can again. We got the potato dish, blistered shishitos, and yuzu Caesar salad as appetizers, and they were all so great with their flavours, textures, and depth.
We got their special feature: Nashville fried halibut sando, and it was one of the best fish sandwiches we’ve ever had! Chef’s kiss The chef nailed that sandwich with all of its crispy and saucy components, it was just phenomenal! Our minds were blown away by that sandwich. Honestly, it should always be on the menu. In addition, we got the lingcod dish, and it tasted so fresh with the coconut milk broth, rice and fresh herbs, just perfect for the summer!
For dessert, we got the Basque cheesecake and the jungle cookie, and oh my goodness, they were both very amazing and so delicious!
Overall, I highly recommend dining at Part and Parcel as you’re in for a treat. Excellent service by the hosts, and the manager is so lovely - we really enjoyed conversing with her!
Don’t miss out on this hidden gem! Literally!We...
Read moreWe've been to this restaurant several times. So far in 2024 we went once in January and once in February. It's in our neighborhood and it never disappoints when it comes to service, food taste, and friendly staff.
HOWEVER, on our recent visit we were disappointed to see the food portions had significantly changed on some of the items we order regularly.
We usually get the broccoli sandwich which in the past was a fair size and came sliced. You could easily share with a partner, which is what we liked to do - order two meals and split half and half. On our recent visit in February, just a few short weeks since our January visit, the same sandwich was the same price and came on a small bun which wasn't cut and couldn't be shared. You also have to pay extra for fries ($5) and there wasn't even a good portion of fries. The other item was the gnocchi which is delicious but again the portion was on a much smaller plate. $100 later, neither one of us was full.
There was another time we ordered a tuna entree which came as thinly sliced tuna on a plate with a few garnishes. At that visit we did inform the staff that this isn't an entree and shouldn't be advertised as such. She said some dishes are 'light' entrees, but for nearly $30 it seemed unreasonable.
Unfortunately, given these experiences, we won't be back since it's no longer FAIR value for the cost. It's disappointing for us too since we love eating at local places that offer quality food. But it needs to...
