A Note From Our Chef,
Rakmin Lee
Cooking has taken me from my hometown in Korea to kitchens across New York and San Francisco, but at the heart of it all is a love for flavor, balance, and sharing good food with others. My approach is shaped by global influences from Korean to French to Italian and grounded in modern American cooking. At The Parliament, this philosophy comes to life in a menu that’s refined yet approachable designed to surprise, comfort, and connect.
The Restaurant
Tucked within Manhattan’s landmark building, The Parliament brings quiet sophistication to Midtown’s dining scene. Throughout the day, guests enjoy modern American fare with elevated classics, seasonal plates, and signature flatbreads. As evening sets in, the lounge shifts focus to cocktails—bold, balanced, and built to surprise.
