Para is always a good spot, the chips and hummus dip is a definite winner! The service was a little slow this time, not sure if that was indicative of it just being lunch and maybe busier than they anticipated? It was also super loud, so much so that my guest said he hd to shout. That said, food is excellent

The sidewalk tables are super cute, inside is very nice too. The service was good. But the food lacked flavor. The Gnocchi did not have any taste at all. We all agreed it was quite bland.

It started when they wouldn’t let us sit outside even though no one was there. When we left 1 1/2 hours later, at least half the tables were still empty. Service was slow. Had to ask the host to find a waiter so we could order, even though the restaurant was almost empty. I asked for my salmon to be cooked rare and it was well done. Not a very interesting taste either. My husbands meal was good as was our appetizer.

Busy midtown restaurant close to Grand Central. The food was excellent and the servers were friendly but overwhelmed/overworked with the lunch-time crowd. I would recommend going for a late lunch to avoid the rush.

The absolute WORST service I have had in NYC - Sat @ table for 40 minutes not attended to, no water, no waiter (@ 5PM when not crowded.) Finally got waiter who forgot 1/2 the food and came to our table once during the time. Busboys cleared our table and the waitress never came to give check - 45 min later I went to front desk to ask for it and report the TERRIBLE SERVICE - said he could do nothing but give a round of free drinks, could not comp any of our dinner/drinks. What???? Would not advise going.

Pera is perennially very good mediterranean food in a warm and comfortable setting. The selection, freshness and seasoned taste of everything is great. Recommend the Chef's selection mezze platter for appetizer. The entree selecion between specials and menu items are all very tasty.
