About The Parlour
On Poultry in London, The Parlour is a restaurant set in a room with dark floral wallpaper and velvet sofas positioned toward the band. Live jazz plays throughout the evening, with the night closing on a burlesque show. Chef Lee Kebble's menu runs from chicken Kiev and salmon to scallops, NY strip steak and Wild Seabass, alongside caviar, steak au poivre and lobster thermidor. Wine and cocktails accompany the meal, and table service is provided throughout by waitstaff. A cabaret experience can be added to the evening for an extra charge per head. A private dining room is available for groups. The lighting stays low, giving the lounge its close, dim character across the night.

Customer Review Summary
Live jazz and the burlesque cabaret draw the most praise, with several describing the band, singers, and evening entertainment as the highlight, one calling it worth returning for and another closing the night on the dancer. Close behind, dishes like the NY strip steak, scallops, and Wild Seabass earn strong marks, with one diner ranking the steak among the best they've had anywhere, though another found the chicken Kiev and salmon merely decent for the price. Service draws frequent praise as attentive and warm, and multiple reviewers mention birthday touches, a complimentary dessert and a small cake with candle among them. The recurring caveat is cost: reviewers note the £20 per head cabaret charge and total bills around £200 to £250 for two, several calling it expensive though generally worth it. One reviewer also flagged the room as very dark for eating with uncomfortable seats, and another found non-alcoholic drinks poor despite praising the wine.

“Exceptional service. Amazing food which was beautifully presented. Great ambience with live music and low lit lighting which created a stunning atmosphere. Thank you also, to the staff, particularly our main waitress for the evening, who went the extra mile to make my birthday special with a little cake and candle! More than happy to recommend and I would absolutely return. Brilliant night / first time experience at The Ned.”

“Delightful surprise! The Parlour offers a truly refined yet welcoming dining experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable: attentive, professional and warm without ever feeling intrusive. The food was excellent and carefully prepared with high-quality ingredients. What made the experience even more special was the wonderful entertainment: perfectly measured and elegantly woven into the evening, adding atmosphere without overshadowing the dining itself. Everything felt effortlessly well balanced, making the night both relaxing, entertaining and memorable. I am grateful to have been a guest at this place, which I highly recommend. Hope to return soon :)”

“This members’ lounge is a true hidden gem. The atmosphere was fantastic and the entertainment exceeded expectations. There was live jazz throughout the evening followed by an incredible burlesque dancer to close the night. We enjoyed a few cocktails and the space was calm enough to comfortably hold conversations without feeling crowded or noisy. An all around brilliant experience &I’d happily come back any day.!”

“My boyfriend and I spent a romantic evening at this lovely little hidden gem for our anniversary. The live music was the highlight, the talented musicians being very entertaining and definitely worth coming back for. We also loved the mood lighting, comfy velvet sofas with a great view of the band and the lovely service from the staff. It’s a little expensive, but that’s to be expected at an upmarket location in central London and the champagne we had was worth the money. If you’re looking for a really cozy, luxurious vibe that’s perfect for date night then The Parlour is a must.”

“Quintessential financial London vibes, from the chic interior to the carefully curated menu and attentive service. The staff were cool, vibey, and extremely helpful. The live band and music were amazing, adding to the ambiance, though a touch quieter would make conversations easier during dinner. Overall, a great experience, both for a party and a romantic date.”
