                                                        Sat on beautiful patio. It was so lovely. Noise level much quieter than in main restaurant. Food was wonderful. Shared the cinnamon roll and ricotta pancakes (my favorite). Ordered special summer scramble. All food was hot on arrival and delicious. Our waiter was the best and very attentive. I had brunch on the patio at Paragary’s about six weeks ago with my family and it really was not a great experience. The food was not cooked properly and they were out of three items on the menu. The service has been highly elevated. I will definitely go back. I was hoping what happened six weeks ago was an anomaly and I believe that it was.

                                                        Flies. Loads of flies. Inside. Food was outstanding, service delightful, especially Wyman. But flies. On us, in our faces, landing on the table. As a separate issue, the inside of the door of stall 2 in the ladies’ room is filthy. I took a picture and will add it if I can. All that said, we will be back. The smoked trout and broccolini were perfect. The mussels were very good. I can only review what I actually ate.

                                                        We were seated by the manager very friendly, then we waited for 15 minutes to even get water now server came to our table with was weird because everyone else was getting served that came in after us. But then the manager saw that we haven’t even gotten water and came over and apologized and had someone over right away. After our server came he still was not on top of it kind of slow, but the food was great the atmosphere was wonderful and we enjoyed our meal. After we were done the manager came over and apologized again and comped our drinks. Overall we enjoyed this place the manager took the time to fix our sub par service and we will definitely be back hopefully not the same server.

                                                        A beautiful, warm evening in Sacramento. We sat just inside the open patio door. New to us waiter and very attentive. Started with housemate blue-cheese stuffed olives in a vodka martini. Mushroom salad is the best; and pasta main course.

                                                        As always the food was on point. The asparagus and lemon burrata appetizer so fresh and the asparagus was crisp and sweet. The lamb ragout and tagliatelle main course so delicious nothing beats fresh made pasta. My friend had the sea urchin and fettuccine pasta and it tasted like the ocean in the best way possible. It tasted like vacation in a bowl. Thank you Paragary’s

                                                        As always, Paragary’s was excellent in every way. We sat outside and enjoyed an ideal ambience together with creative, delicious food and impeccable service. It was Father’s Day with a full house and a set menu; many restaurants would be chaotic under those circumstances, but they handled everything perfectly.
