Sorry but noise level too much and so dark we used flashlights to read the menu. Dishes were uninspired and bland with very limited options. Server was great even though she was running to get her tables covered. No longer a first choice option fo us.

Good variety of dining choices, all of which were very tasty and disappeared quickly! Service on a busy holiday evening was wonderfully orchestrated, making it altogether pleasant!

We love Paragary's. It feels like a neighborhood restaurant in San Francisco or New York. Service is always top notch and we love the food. The hand cut Pappardelle with chicken is always delicious. The mushroom salad is also very tasty. Our friend loved his pizza and it looked really good. We were too full for much dessert but shared the cranberry/blueberry sorbet, which was good and refreshing. My French Martini was perfect.

Paragary's has been a family tradition for special occasions (as well as casual dining) because of their excellence for decades. Tonight was my father's 96th birthday, the first birthday without the 'love of his life' (mom, married almost 70 years passed in June). We went to celebrate both his birth and the many treasured times we shared. Our server was as sweet as can be, knowledgeable, personable, and efficient. Our food was outstanding and dad's special birthday desert delicious. We will continue to share our special times at Paragary's.

One of our favorite restaurants in Sacramento, unfortunately during this visit, we had a very disappointing experience . We came here to celebrate two of our friends Birthday (4 of us), we end up waiting forever with our food (we sat down at 6pm an didn’t leave until 9pm), the server admitted his mistake and the manager came to give us free round of drinks which we appreciate, unfortunately a round of drinks won’t cover a ruined birthday dinner for waiting more than an hour and half just to get a food, another problem is after finding out the food was not even started after we followed up, the server seems to start hiding from us and we end up waiting to get a drink order. Overall, we’re still recommending this place for others to try, food is great and will still consider to come back, bad service happen once in a while and can’t be the reason not to give this place another chance. Kudos to Eden who keeps checking on us.
