The Parlor Creamery — Restaurant in Lavallette

I really hate to write a bad review but I feel this needs to be out there, at least as feedback for the restaurant.

We went on Valentine’s Day and I was so excited to try this relatively new restaurant in lavalette. I follow on Instagram and everything looks so good. Their menu was... very specific and highly priced. I felt they lacked simple breakfast foods like plain pancakes, French toast, etc. everything was a specialty which is totally fine!

The portions were very generous and the food was excellent. For dinner I had their garlic parmesan wings, my husband had the burger and my sister had one of their sushi rolls.
