    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.

    Got there a bit late to our reservation due to parking but our table was still not ready due to them being understaffed we were told. However when we sat down we had great service and good food! Highly recommend the short rib dumplings. Drinks were inconsistent. My drink tastes like juice and my friends drink had so much alcohol she couldn’t drink it. Probably just a fluke.

    Everywhere was great except for the lamb chops. The flavor was alright, but the meat was tough and chewy.

    Came to Para for my birthday dinner and it was a vibe! Very classy with the ambiance lighting. The drinks were good and our waiter Kylie was so cute! She kept checking on us, made sure I got my pictures in and made drink suggestions along with giving us birthday shots. We got Asian Chili wings, short ribs dumplings and spinach dip to share for appetizers. The spinach dip was whipped, cheesy texture that was different. Mt favorite was the short rib dumplings. Full of flavor and a bit spicy. My main dish was the lamb chops. Seasoned well, a little tough if you get well done but the mash potatoes were pretty good. My friends and I had such a good time and will definitely be coming back for dinner again
