5 /5 Hannah Shay: Here’s a polished, friendly, and appreciative review based on everything you wrote — still in your voice, but cleaned up and smooth:
⸻
We left a wedding next door at The Hub close to 10 p.m. and were craving oysters, so we looked up Parish to see what time they closed. Google said 11, but when we walked up, the girl at the front let us know they actually closed at 10. We told her no problem, we had only planned to grab a quick drink and some oysters, but it wasn’t a big deal.
As we were walking off, she actually came back out and asked where we saw the 11 p.m. time. I showed her, and she said, “Give me just a second.” She went inside, came back out, and told us that if we didn’t need anything from the kitchen, they could squeeze us in for a drink and some oysters at a table by the fire outside.
I was hesitant because I know how it is working in the restaurant industry and wanting to close up, but she reassured us that it was fine, it was only 10 and they’d be there closing up anyway. So we sat by the fire, had the BEST oysters, a vodka water, and a beer. The brought the goods, I told them to bring ticket and we would go ahead close our while we eat. We were there maybe 17 minutes and tried to be as respectful as possible because I know the team was probably low-key thinking “WTH,” which honestly I would have too.
But the staff was amazing, friendly, accommodating, and professional. It ended up being the perfect treat after a long wedding. Thank you for having such a great spot and training your team so well. Parish is truly the most best and consistent place in town!
One of those things where they could’ve just turned us away but they made it work when they didn’t have to!
