                                                        We had dinner at Paragary's prior to a concert in the area. We enjoyed everything about this place. The food was delicious (foccaccia, bib salad, pasta, chocolate dessert). Our server was excellent. It's a pretty restaurant with a gorgeous outside area. I wish we had a Paragary's in Sonoma.

                                                        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.

                                                        Great brunch, eggs Benedict and pancakes were way above average. I'm pretty sparing when I give out fives. This place was close on a five for the food. The space itself has a immaculate and vibrant atmosphere.

                                                        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.

                                                        Paragary’s was a magical experience we sat in the outdoor patio for dinner, the service was exceptional and the food was fantastic. The resturant gives you a New York/ European vibe. Overall 5 star experience.
