Must try Braised PotRoast – I have been to Paragon on several occasions. We usually choose the outdoor seating as it is idea for people watching. The martini's tend to be strong, which is nice and the Braised PotRoast is amazing. It literally falls off your fork.

No longer sanitary! – I have visited Paragon for several years and was there even on opening day! The establishment is a fun place to go and the food is fairly priced....over the last year, perhaps longer, things have changed though: - We used to feel like the place was clean and sanitary. For years we actually noticed how clean the place was....but about a year ago, maybe a year and half this changed. My visit a month ago will be my last. Dirty and sticky floors, restrooms completely nasty and dust everywhere! I do not feel... read more

Perfect Fit – Just went to Paragon last night for the third time this week - it's my new favorite restaurant. It feels like like an old favorite sweater it's just cozy and consistently good. Nothing too fancy, not trying too hard - their tomato soup and grilled cheese panini is to die for, and nothing says comfort food like perfect mac n cheese. My server last night knew when to stay away from the table and when to come back - a qulity I can't speak highly enough. For a warm experience and consistly good food Paragon is a su... read more

Avoid like the plague – Like a previous person pointed out: In a sea of fine dining in the Pearl District of Portland, Paragon falls completely flat and should be avoided at all costs. The service is the worst of any restaurant I've been to in the last 10 years. We waited for our water, for our cocktails and we waited an hour to receive our dinner. Our waitress seemed like she was right out of the school for the dumb. This place is not even worth checking out, at all. I'd write more, but our experience was so poor that it's ... read more

Great Squash Risotto – I was up in Portland last weekend to visit my brother and he had heard that Paragon was a cool place to hang out with good food so we decided to check it out. We didn't make reservations and even thought it was packed we got a table after 20 minutes (good microbrews on tap in the meantime!). Service was a little slow but the calamari alone was worth it My brother ordered the hangar steak which was good but pretty standard, my salmon was excellent -squash risotto was the best part. The place had a good ... read more

overpriced, overated fare in the pearl – In a sea of good restaurants in the Pearl District, Paragon falls flat on most counts. I had lunch here and had heard very good things about it, but boy was I disappointed. I ordered sparkling water and it took a good 10 minutes just to get it to my table. I was never offered a lime with it (standard at most restaurants) and I had to ask for ice! They brought me the ice in a second glass which I had to spoon into my other glass. At a restaurant trying to be upscale and trendy, I thoug... read more

A restaurant for gallery-goers, where edible art is devoured. – In Short Old-growth fir rafters, concrete columns, floor-to-ceiling factory windows, halogen fixtures, paintings by Northwest artists and muted beats of background techno music keep in line with the atmosphere of a Pearl District eatery. The menu also is a work or art. A minimalist wedge of Gorgonzola cheesecake shimmers atop orange tomato coulis in sweet basil aoli; chicken breast stuffed with a mushroom mélange, roasted asparagus and polenta. Other entrees inc... read more

Shouldn't be ANY complaints! – I think this place has the BEST Ceasar salad and you MUST try the Calamari! The drinks are awesome and they are one of the only places who actully know what a capperina cocktail is (even though I may not be able to spell it). If you're an outgoing person sit in the lounge and have fun. You will meet interesting people and hear great music!

excellent customer service – The customer service at our recent visit to the Paragon was excellent. We were running very late trying to gather family together for a birthday dinner. It was exceptional service that on a busy Saturday night they called us and kept our table for us! It could have been a diaster if they hadn't since it was so difficult to get the family together for the evening. The Sole was particularly good. And dispite the busy evening, we did not wait or want for any service.
