    Went on the Saturday after Valentine's Day it was an excellent choice. Be aware that you will be sitting very close to the tables next to you. However the food is phenomenal, everything we ordered was outstanding and the front of house staff was very attentive.

    Fantastic dinner on Valentines Day. Prix Iixe menu was outstanding - something for everyone. Wine pairings were very well done. Enjoyed the entire night. One bit of advice - parking here is at a premium and nearby businesses do not like to share. So, take an Uber/Lyft if you can.

    The diverse offerings on the Valentine’s Day prixe fixe menu looked fabulous. Everything was delicious though the filet mignon was disappointing for its recipient. With that exception the clean plates for amuse bouche, appetizers, halibut entrees and three different desserts were outstanding. Service was great.

    We love this restaurant! The food is delicious, the presentation lovely, the service friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. We were celebrating Valentine’s Day a day early, as were seemingly most of the diners as bookings fill up early, and there were roses on the table, a special enlarged menu and Valentine desert for two. Thank you Parizade for caring so much for your customers! The lamb shank and gigante plaki was one of the best entrees I’ve ever had. Looking forward to next time!
