Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
PARA offers an eclectic dining experience with "amazing food" and a vibrant atmosphere. Guests rave about the "wonderful recommendations" and attentive service. Highlights include the flavorful jerk chicken and short rib dumplings. Some find the music loud, but the "great vibe" and well-heated patio are appealing. Ideal for date nights and groups.

    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.

    I had a great time at PARA! Me and some girlfriends celebrated an early “Galentines” dinner and PARA was the perfect place! The service was great and our waitress Kaia was amazing she even helped take our picture. The food and drinks were top tier as well. We all couldn’t stop saying how we needed to come back! The DJ was a great touch, his music was great and not so loud we couldn’t enjoy our conversations. I guess our only complaint was it was a little dark for us lol. We had to read our menu by candle light. Even with that it won’t stop us from returning just maybe a time with a bit more daylight lol! All in all everything was amazing, the staff, the food, and the atmosphere was great!

    A friend and I dined here during restaurant week. Menu was limited, but we weren't told about items they were out of until after we ordered them. The vegan dessert option being one of them, which was disappointing. We were advised we could skip dessert for $10 less or substitute with a cocktail. We ordered the crab rangoon buns, charred broccoli, lamb chops, and salmon. The food ordered was tasty. However, the nonalcoholic margarita I had was not. I would go back for the full menu offerings and with dry January being over.
