Parlor In Ardmore Is Opening On March 1
Rob Wasserman (owner of Rouge and 500º), is opening his new restaurant, Parlor, on March 1, and he’s doing it in the same Suburban Square location as his not-so-successful former restaurant The Saint James.
Parlor is a family-friendly, Italian restaurant that will serve wood-fired pizzas, pastas and salads. The menu is gluten-free-friendly and kid-friendly and will also serve up draft wine for as low as $6 per glass. In other words, Wasserman is opening a place that’s easily definable, immediately recognizable, uncomplicated and everything-friendly–all things that The Saint James was not.
In Wasserman’s own words, “Parlor is an approachable and modern pizza and wine bar that will cater to the style and tastes of the surrounding community. We are excited to bring our style and hospitality to the Main Line to create a new option for casual dining.”
The inside of the restaurant has been remodeled since The Saint James closed, and now features an open floor plan with more natural light. And in case anyone is still confused about where they are once they make it through the front door, Wasserman has a bright, Ferrari-red, wood-fired pizza oven from Modena, Italy installed as a focal point in the dining room.
The restaurant will open Sunday, March 1 and will only take reservations for parties of six or more. Parlor will be open Sunday through Thursday from 11:30 am to 10 pm and Fridays and Saturdays until 11 pm.
