What People Are Saying About Tipsy Parson

Named after a liquor-soaked sponge cake popular in the South, Tipsy Parson is the Southern complement to owners Tasha Garcia Gibson and Julie Taras Wallach’s popular Lower East Side comfort food spot Little Giant. Their Chelsea restaurant, with its plentiful antique bric-a-brac, various potted plants and painted mural of well-stocked bookshelves, has the feel of a crafty hipster’s country home.

Not Worth Going

Didn't like this highly anticipated restaurant. We were expecting comfort food and got neither comfort nor food, if by food one thinks of something edible. And why would they set up a restaurant in such an unappealing fashion-- where if you are seated against the wall, you have to move not only your table but the folks next to you to go to the rest room. And why would no one who works there help move the table? While I'm asking questions: why was the food undercooked? Why was it greasy? why did no food come for ONE HOUR AFTER ORDERING? Why were they already out of things on the menu in their first week? why was the beer warm? why didn't they know how to make a proper cocktail? Why did the cheese plate never arrive? Why did the entrees and appetizers arrive at the same time? Why did I wait 15 minuted to get a table when I had a reservation and the restaurant was empty? Tasteless food and classless service. Don't bother with this place.
- Pros: nice neighborhood
- Cons: Bad food, bad service
