- JJonPortland / Oregon •4 reviews4.0Dined on Feb 2, 2025Overall, our experience was very good. The food was wonderful and our server was very nice. However, he admitted to us that he had only been working for there for a few days and so hadn’t tasted any of the food didn’t have any ability to talk about wine or cocktails. We don’t hold him accountable for that, but think that management should definitely invest more in a thorough training for new servers.More infoParadiso at the Grand TheatrePrice: Expensive• French• Salem•4.3
