"this is our first visit since last year as we always go before the giants game for their hamburgers. Unfortunately, I must report that we ordered 4 medium rare hamburgers and got 4 well done, dried out burgers; even the fries were cold. Owners should monitor the kitchen closer or you'll soon lose your regulars."

"Wonderful service and accommodating to the diners' requests. Good food and a very pleasant and satisfying alternative to the popular restaurant nearby. A tad noisy at times if you sit too close to the bar area."

"salmon was great, quinoa has been only mediocre last few times, and it took almost 45 minutes to prepare and serve. The server was great, but the kitchen was not."

"Working a mere 2 blocks from Paragon, I've frequented it for lunch, happy hour and dinner many times over the last 3 years and have never had any complaints. My company even held our holiday party here and it was great! The lunch menu is short, simple and filling for the price. The service has always been stellar and all the staff are friendly and personable. Outdoor seating on a warm day is great and happy hour after a long day at work is a boon! Game days I tend to avoid it here for it gets packed. But other than that, Paragon has been consistently good in every aspect. Keep up the good work!"

"We actually left after ordering apps and a glass of wine, since we found the menu very limited and the atmosphere to be mostly 20-somethings having a good time. Appetizers were very good and the service was prompt and courteous, but we did not care for the menu options, unless cheeseburgers are the intent, or the noise level. I would definitely return, perhaps for dinner/drinks before a Giants game with a group of friends, but will not use it as an evening destination spot."
