Persons with food allergies beware. With more and more adults and children having and being diagnosed with food allergies it is a challenge each time you venture out to a restaurant. The following are facts and statements with emotions removed. We went to Parallel Wine Bistro in Ashburn for a special occasion dinner. A member in our party has a severe allergy to one particular nut. All other nuts are fine; its just this one devilish nut that imposes havoc. Upon arrival at Parallel after work, we disclosed to our server about the nut allergy. The server went to the kitchen to discuss what items had the nut and we ordered accordingly. The soup and salad came out without the nut (even though the salad was supposed to have it on it) and no issues. The next course had a nut crusted (not the devilish nut) item and we both ordered that. Again, confirming with the server that the item does not have that nut. Again the server replied that no, it did not. One bite into the appetizer and immediately a reaction began. I looked for the server who was with another customer, and found another server and told them we had to leave to a nearby hospital and an allergic reaction was occurring. They did not ask us to pay (thank goodness), and said dont worry…just to leave. 4 hours later the devilish nut had been expelled, anti-nausea medicine and epinephrine was give, then hives that were throughout the entire body had dissipated enough to leave. The owner/manager did reach out to inquire how the patient was doing and that he would cook personally for next time. The story did not end there. We believed our insurance would cover all the charges, but it did not cover the deductible. I reached out to the owner/manager for help in covering the charges, and was disappointed by the reply. His statement I cant accept financial responsibility for every person who walks through my doors with an allergy. We were not looking for any pain & suffering or other compensation. Only the outstanding insurance costs that we incurred, at no fault of our own. This review and message is provided as a cautionary note to be careful and maybe think twice about going to Parallel Wine Bistro. BTW…Did I mention that we had been there several times before and had no issue? Unfortunately, we wont be going there again. If you or a member of your dining party has a food allergy, please be careful. Remember what I mentioned above, per Parallel owner/manager who told us, I cant accept financial responsibility for every person who walks through my doors with an allergy. We dont want what happened to us to happen to you or for you. You should not have to incur a financial burden in additional to an allergic food reaction and that causes time spent in the hospital…at no fault of you or the affected member of your dining party. Best of Luck.
Excellent Place with INCREDIBLE STAFF. Parallel is truly one of my most favorite places. Let’s start with the owner Jason who shows that this is is life’s passion. The staff Nicole (sommelier in training), Megan, Frank, Nancy and the rest of the crew show that this is a family unit. They always know everything on the menu and in the wine cellar. The recommendations the staff makes are first rate. If you are looking for a special night out this is a place to try!
Food is phenomenal! The suggested wine and food pairings are brilliant. Love this place!
Halibut with fennel risotto &mussels. This is just one of many delicious dishes I sampled. The food is amazing and the option of ordering small plates is a fantastic idea. The wine selection was pretty good too. I’ m taking my husband there tonight and I know it will become one of our favorite places to dine. You won’t be disappointed.
Nice Idea, not so great food. We tried this place yesterday and were initially excited about having a place like this near us, the indoor/outdoor choices were nice, we opted for inside on this hot day. Decor was very nice, with wine crate labels making up the wall in the room where we sat, nice looking place. The self-serve machines were located at the far other end and like many other places, you get a card and decide what you want to have (sip, 1/2, full glass). We sampled some of the wines before deciding on a glass. As for the food, we were disappointed with the three choices we made. The cheese was the only thing that we enjoyed. As my wife said, next time we’ll probably go over to Whole Foods in Fair lakes where there is a much larger selection of food to purchase and take upstairs to their wine bar.
Parallel Wine Bar Ashburn. Let me simply say – fantastico… I fancy myself a rather superb cook [not chef] and my hat is off to Chef Matthew, Jason and a great staff. This is a group dedicated to pleasing the customer with wine, food and service. Wine selection – superb… Food – out of this world… Service – the BEST…Wake up No VA, this place is a sleeper and will soon be discovered if not already. Thanks Jason for bringing us a wonderful gathering place.
