Editorial Review for Paragon Restaurant & Bar – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Singles favor the lounge, especially on Friday and Saturday, while couples of all ages snuggle into the dim, plushly comfortable dining room. Nearly everyone dresses downtown-chic. The skirt steak and the pork rib chops are popular dishes for full scale dinners, while the classic garlic chicken wings are frequently seen as a spicy snack to accompany cocktails. Dessert is often skipped--leaving more time for romance.

watch your tab in this place. i and a group of about 12 had food and drinks and as the tab showed up we were told to simply put our initials next to what we were responsible for to include with our payment. i don't normally go over my tab but noticed mine was about 20% higher than it should be. the server explained that the tab was not covered entirely so she simply put the remaining balance on my card. never said a word to me about it. she now explained that this is just "what they do." the manager approached (a glorified bar tender) and made it clear he was only going to back his server. they were both speaking to me at once, which was a lot of fun for our group and anyone at an adjacent table. when i explained that this was the equivilent of fraud and theft, the guy actually asked me to not come back. i emailed the owner who responded with a canned "there was confusion, we strive to offer excellent service" i then asked him to explain what he understood the confusion to be as it was a blatant scenario to me. he never responded. i was refunded my entire tab, which i left the discrepancy as cash in a tip. it wasn't about the money, it was about being taken advantage of. i do business in the QA area, i will never entertain a client there.

I went to Paragon on a Friday night with two friends for dinner and drinks. We got there towards the evening and it was absolutely packed but managed to find a table in the back. Our waitress was attentive and very helpful in her recommendations and the food was delicious. The only downside was the terrible cocktail I received and the loud/bad live music. Fortunately, our waitress was more than happy to have my cocktail remade to my satisfaction without any hassle. Paragon is a nice neighborhood place, but get there in the early evening if you want seating-- and maybe avoid the terrible live bands ;o).
Pros: attentive waitstaff, nice ambience, good people watching, food
Cons: parking, overly-crowded, bad live bands
