 PARISH is a restaurant serving dishes inspired in the Cajun and Creole tradition of New Orleans, a market, and a to-go operation all rolled into one. Thanks to the input of Louisiana native Nick Melvin, flavors are much more focused, authentic and straightforward than they were previously. Our only quibble is the over-saucing of dishes---whether it is on greens or the Creole barbecued shrimp. The latter preparation, served bravely with head-on shrimp as it should be, swims the too-small-for-the-dish crustaceans in a heavy sauce that overwhelms the shrimp. On the other hand, the sorghum-caressed pork belly and beans could easily be a comfort-food main dish, especially with the pickled white bean salad. While serving grits with fried chicken is off-tradition, whether in Louisiana or elsewhere in the South, PARISH takes license, and uses local Red Mule grits with its fried chicken, cooked as an airline breast with wing, also nontraditional. The six-ounce filet mignon with vegetables and Pernod-touched spinach nods toward oysters Rockefeller in the latter flavors. The wine list gathers a good selection to support the food; many are offered by the glass.
