   PARA was a great experience. We sat on the patio, which was well heated. The food was amazing, especially the salmon brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes.

   It was good overall, great host, good drinks and food. Only negative would be the poor tipping practice. Auto 20% added without being mentioned. Which is fine but if I’m aware of that, I wouldn’t add another % as well. You should always tip but you should also know when it’s being done for you.

   Deja, the manager was great, accommodated us with seating and ensured we were comfortable throughout. Anastasia was a great waitress. The drinks took forever to come and be refilled, my only concern - appears due. Only 1 bartender on a Friday night.

   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.

    I had very high hopes for for Para when I walked in. We came to celebrate my birthday, I traveled all the way from Knoxville. We came in and no one greeted us. We just stood there awkwardly waiting to be acknowledged. We were finally shown to our table a minute later, then proceeded to have what I could only call “the most lackluster service experience I’ve had in a long time”. Our waitress seemed bored and wasn’t engaging at all. We asked her about drinks and she recommended a few. We waited for about 20 minutes for drinks, they in fact came out after the appetizer (which we ordered while waiting for the drinks). The drink itself looked like a sample, it was tiny and not tasty. It almost tasted like 90’s cough syrup. I didn’t complain, I just chalked it up to a bad mix. We had a dish that had braised asain beef, that was unseasoned and not good at all. We told the waitress we didn’t like it, she brought chili sauce to try and make it more “flavorful” but it was to no avail. We had also ordered lemon pepper and Asian wings. I asked that they be fried hard but the came out soggy and tasted like frozen wings. We had the calamari, that tasted like it wasn’t seasoned as well. The only thing we had that was good, Brussels sprouts. We never ended up ordering entrees. The waitress kept disappearing during our meal, even though it was not busy. I would say there were a total of 6 table occupied, and she was serving 2. She never came over to ask if we wanted anything else, and when we flagged her down to get the wings we just went ahead and asked her to box them up so we could leave… she didn’t do that, but came over with her card reader while we were eating the unboxed wings. She failed to let us know that gratuity was already added to her bill. We ended up leaving and going to Kitchen + Cocktails to finish celebrating. I would not come back to Para. The atmosphere was low energy, our waitress was slow and lacked customer service, the food was not good. Wasted a birthday.
