My wife and I love fine dining with superb food and great service. Well this is the place! The atmosphere is classy with dark wood, not brightly lit. The food is worth driving miles to get - especially their steaks. The drinks menu is above and beyond. Our bill was $130 and worth every dollar. We will be back!!!
Ours server was excellent (I wish I could remembered her name 3/30/22 - we were seated in the back right corner), service was excellent - our meal was outstanding! I had the French Dip, my husband had the Trout.I love the atmosphere of this restaurant so comfortable, dim lighting, great dinner music (young man at the piano), excellent drinks and food. The bar is huge and can accommodate a large number of people. Thank you for providing us a great evening - We will definitely be back!!
I rarely give 5 stars, but here I did it. We haven’t been to this local gem for more than a few years, but it’s one of very few privately owned, always a good meal, good service spot. From the hello at the door, to the service at the table, to the meals, everything was top notch and on point. 4 adults, in our 60’s, perhaps a bit discerning, all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I’ve had ribeye at some amazing restaurants but this may have been my new favorite. Of course, you will not get an inexpensive meal, but every penny will be worth it.
First time patron. Six of us enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Restaurant was very busy on a Saturday night. We arrived early so we could enjoy a cocktail before dinner.Appetizers we enjoyed together were escargot and fried oysters. First time trying both of these items. One person had the French onion soup, which they claimed was delicious. For our main entree, there was a variety of choices. I chose the Clam Bake off of the Chefs Special menu. A plate full of steamed clams, mussels, shrimp, crab claws, corn on the cob and potatoes. There was a side dish of melted butter to go with it. This was delicious and I would order again.Another item on the Chefs Menu that was ordered was a Waygu tomahawk steak, 32 oz. I had a bite and it melted in my mouth.The lamb chops were also delicious and tender. Pork chops were cooked perfectly and were tasty.Would love to return to dine again.
I've had the pleasure of dining here twice so far, and both times it has lived up to the hype. Even at a time where we've seen many restaurants decline in their quality for various reasons, The Paragon is crushing it.The drinks are a 10/10, and their steaks are a 12/10. We got the filet and their bone-in ribeye, with onion straws and garlic mushrooms. I'm salivating thinking of it now.Yes it's expensive. But so worth it, just for an occasional fancy treat.
We made our first visit February 17th 2022.Overall, it was just okay. Nothing blew me away. I’d rather take my $85 to Cooper’s hawk.If I ever go back I’ll just get French onion soup and a salad.Bread basket was good. You can’t hardly mess up bread.The 3 crab claws for $12 were a joke. Not that great and hardly and meat.7 layer salad was good, but very strong onions beware.Veal Oscar was TERRIBLE. I had really high expectations. I had one bit, boxed it to go and I have a feeling it’s headed for the trash. So dry and tough.The side of broccoli was terrible. No seasoning or flavor. Just nasty broccoli taste. I’ve had very delicious lemon butter broccoli at other restaurants.Baked potato with chive sour cream was decent.We ordered all of the desserts. Strawberry cheesecake was good but I’ve had better. It was a whipped cheesecake not dense like a true NY cheesecake.Fudge ball sundae was sub par. I’ve had better hot fudge at DQ.Key lime pie was so tart we couldn’t finish it.Again these are all personal taste preferences.I’ve always had my taste buds blown away at Cooper’s hawk and if something isn’t right they will bring you and entirely new entree!I left feeling very disappointed.Not worth $85 to only enjoy the soup and salad.
I’m a Dayton native and I haven’t been there in several years. But tonight I had the best 12oz New York strip steak ever. Absolutely great service and atmosphere and ended up taking cheesecake home with me. Great Centerville place to eat.
The food was sublime! The steak was perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious, and the french onion soup and artichokes are fabulous starters. Our server, Preston, was top notch. He was spot on with every detail and was so professional. We just returned from three weeks in Florida and had dinner at fine dining spots such as Morton's and Eddie V's. The food and Paragon was every bit as good, and Preston's service was the best service we have had EVER!
A true classic full-service restaurant. Service is impeccable, along with the absolutely delicious dishes. It is obvious the highest quality cuts of meat and fresh ingredients go into their meals. Ambience is great, and you won't be disappointed. A true Dayton are classic and iconic dining experience.
We went for dinner on New Year's eve, party of 7. I got their drink special, a peppermint martini, which was wonderful. I got the 8 ounce filet cooked a perfect medium rare to medium, baked potato, greens salad with blue cheese and those wonderful onion rings. Everything was perfect and Missy, our server, did not disappoint. Looking forward to going back.
