I loved the seafood courses but thought the beef ragout was too salty. I thought the staff worked seamlessly together to provide excellent service. The wine was delicious too.

                                                            Parizade takes me back to the more upscale restaurants along the Ligurian coastline. The food is creative (Loved the watermelon- cucumber salad with get and the fresh burrata salad), obviously freshly sourced and prepared and then served with the noblesse of gracious, professionally trained wait staff. From start to finish (the sorbet- ahhhh!), no detail remained untouched. Even the olive oil for the homemade rustic bread was distinctly flavorful and definitely not the mere average grocer offering. Charles was gracious and friendly without being intrusive. He offered suggestions based on a depth of knowledge and consistently made certain we needed nothing despite the fact that he was extremely busy with several large groups.

                                                            It was lovely. They accommodated our needs to get in and out quickly. They did that without us feeling rushed. The ambience is unique and beautiful; the food was very good. We had a delightful meal!

                                                            We bring guests here often and last night was worst of many visits. We had a couple who are sober, our waiter started out with offering drinks to which we politely said no one at our table would be drinking for those purposes, our waiter left and came back with drink menu and started in with drink specials again to which my husband said bluntly this time you can stop as we said no alcohol to which our server chuckled and continued and said I recommend this one it’s really good. You would think being an older gentleman he’d of respected our request. Otherwise food was excellent as always, but super loud in there this visit, as music was turned up a little loud and made it hard to hear with other guests and staff as well. Definitely be back with guests but now no a server to never have again with or without guests that drink!

                                                            We love Parizade, it's one of our favorites. As an appetizer, my sweetie had the octopus (I wasn't crazy hungry so I didn't have anything). For the main dishes, we had the pork chop (so juicy!) and the red snapper special (really tasty!). For dessert, I had s'mores cake and that was worth every calorie! Highly recommended!

                                                            Love going to Parizade! It’s my go to restaurant in Durham. Ambience is always good although the tables are a little close for overhearing chatter. The food last night was very very good. I always order the grilled octopus appetizer and it was in need of a bit more grilling. My salmon was great as was the Caesar salad. My guest liked the lamb rib appetizer as well as his Caesar salad and sautéed shrimp. Our favorite part last night was Estra (hope, I got that right!) who waited on us. Very helpful, cheerful, and helped with each and every question and concern. Would highly recommend!
