    The food was great seasoned well. Although if you order a side, be sure to relay that you would want It come out with your entree. Also gratuity is already added in to the bill, which is not an issue but we only saw our server 2 max 3 times while there and she was not very friendly in the beginning. When paying It ended up being a mixup with the tickets. Atmosphere was great overall. I would return here but would hope for better service!

    Para was my worst dining experience, it actually felt like a practical joke. I had a 10 pm reservation, I arrived at 10:06 and wasn’t greeted until 10:20. Staff kept walking past us at the hostess stand and didn’t say a word. Once we were seated no one came to us, i flagged someone down and they still never came. For thirty minutes we sat at an empty table without even water so finally at 10:50 we decided to leave. We sat at a table for thirty minutes without so much as a “I’ll be right with you” i would never return. If i could give zero stars i would. We went to Fahrenheit and had a great dinner. Para is a waste of time. Don’t go!!!!

    We arrived to the space and there was a line for the host check in area all the way back to someone’s dining table. Finally we’re sat after waiting ten minutes in the line. (There were only two parties ahead of us). They sat my party of three down at a shared space of a party of two. So five strangers within arm reach of each other …. Awkward. Overall the male bartender was nice and made great drinks ( we went to sit at bar because we were sitting for 15min and no one came to give us water or anything). I wouldn’t go back the food was not that good and everything took forever to come out. The hookah was nice though and the lady who brought it out. Host was always making excuses at the end of the day figure your job out & DO BETTER

    I don't expect to ever be back to PARA because of the numerous issues. It is very disappointing because they are all over social media like Tik ToK and IG with great reviews but in person does not live up to the hype at all! Para: - [x] Salmon was under cooked and took 15 min to make a new - [x] Shots flight taste liquid Percocet - [x] The French 75 was never order - [x] Food before drinks - [x] Manager Andrew isn’t friendly - [x] Line to check in is super long - [x] Something wrong with the pasta - [x] Another table waited for 30 min and no one came

    10/10. I love the Valentine’s Day theme they created. Great food and music selection. I’m sad I forgot to try the hookah, but highly recommend everybody to try this place out.

    The protein portions are really small which is disappointing. They overcooked the filet by a mile. However, the lamb was AMAZING, and the sauces (chimichurri and some other kind of sauce) were next level. Service was amazing as was the atmosphere. I’d go back but in the future if I get a steak I’d check how they cooked it and send it back if it was wrong.
