    I actually loved this experience. The only thing that I would do differently is not host my birthday dinner during restaurant week. I wish that the restaurant had given us that warning because we didn’t have access to the full menu, we had two tables they never communicated that and it was very clear that our waitress was overwhelmed. That did not excuse a lot of the things that transpired during our meal. It was my wife and I’s birthday dinner. Someone else paid for our food and somehow our drinks came out almost $300 and then she came back again and asked me to pay for an $30 additional drink that was only $16 on the menu. My wife had one drink and I had two, we also had hookah so I’m sure but it just didn’t seem right. She got several orders wrong and never corrected the food including mine. We didn’t receive a receipt so I’m not even sure if those things were rectified on the receipt considering it was our birthday dinner we just let it slide. She was supposed bring Birthday shots and she came up to me and was like I can’t give you free shots for the whole table and we weren’t asking for that. They said that because it was our birthday we had an option between dessert and shots and she just appeared to be very confused. When she brought out a birthday dessert that we were paying, for she put the candles on the wrong desserts, and then asked one of our guest to remove the candle and put it in my wife’s dessert or let my wife blow out the candle over someone else’s food and then pass her, the dessert….. tacky and a little gross. All of that aside, the appetizers were phenomenal. Definitely try the spinach dip. The jerk chicken appetizer was extremely spicy so be careful. Entrée wise we had zero complaints. The steak was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The potatoes were amazing the lamb the salmon everyone loved the food and the vibe.

    Can’t remember her name but our server was so nice and sweet! Food was a 10/10 too. I went with my girls but it was perfect for a date night as well.

    PARA was a great experience. We sat on the patio, which was well heated. The food was amazing, especially the salmon brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes.

    It was good overall, great host, good drinks and food. Only negative would be the poor tipping practice. Auto 20% added without being mentioned. Which is fine but if I’m aware of that, I wouldn’t add another % as well. You should always tip but you should also know when it’s being done for you.

    Deja, the manager was great, accommodated us with seating and ensured we were comfortable throughout. Anastasia was a great waitress. The drinks took forever to come and be refilled, my only concern - appears due. Only 1 bartender on a Friday night.
