Got there a bit late to our reservation due to parking but our table was still not ready due to them being understaffed we were told. However when we sat down we had great service and good food! Highly recommend the short rib dumplings. Drinks were inconsistent. My drink tastes like juice and my friends drink had so much alcohol she couldn’t drink it. Probably just a fluke.

Everywhere was great except for the lamb chops. The flavor was alright, but the meat was tough and chewy.

Came to Para for my birthday dinner and it was a vibe! Very classy with the ambiance lighting. The drinks were good and our waiter Kylie was so cute! She kept checking on us, made sure I got my pictures in and made drink suggestions along with giving us birthday shots. We got Asian Chili wings, short ribs dumplings and spinach dip to share for appetizers. The spinach dip was whipped, cheesy texture that was different. Mt favorite was the short rib dumplings. Full of flavor and a bit spicy. My main dish was the lamb chops. Seasoned well, a little tough if you get well done but the mash potatoes were pretty good. My friends and I had such a good time and will definitely be coming back for dinner again

Smaller menu, but that doesn't mean small in flavor. We ordered calamari, the short rib dumplings, and salmon (at the recommendation of our server). All items were delicious, but the salmon was cooked to perfection, and the sides with the salmon were delicious. Will certainly be back.

Music blaring on patio to drown out music next door. Waited ten minutes for a greeting and water from our server. Food was great At end of meal, same ten minute wait to get the check and then no one explained gratuity was already include! So they double dipped when asking for gratuity on the payment device. We will not be back

The food was great and portion sizes were big. Definitely gave more of a club/lounge feel than a restaurant. Service can be spotty.
