    Had asked for a special table for our family guests, who were visiting from MI. They are getting married next spring, and this dinner was to celebrate their upcoming nuptials. I had specified all of that when I made the reservation, but it was obviously not important to this restaurant. We sat in a generic, ho-hum area, when I know there are several special tables for special occasions or celebrations. Even our server was surprised when I told him about our special guests. The service was good, drinks were good, appetizers were okay, but I was very disappointed with my dinner entree, the 14 oz. ribeye. I asked for medium, it was at least medium-well, making it difficult to slice and very chewy. The presentation of this dish was abyssal - the steak on one side of the oval dish, with a minuscule topping of a mushroom sauce, and a few very bland, unseasoned fingerling potatoes wobbling around on the other side. Not a pretty sight at all. There’ll be no more celebratory dinners at this restaurant for our family.

    The food here is very good. As a party of three we all had different entrees and all were tasty. It’s a comfortable restaurant with food seating, not something all restaurants have. The banana napoleon is fantastic. Like the best banana pudding you have ever tasted.

    A Food and Wine Pairing at Parizade is to "Die For"... Igor, Karina, Charles, Angel, Malachi and others, turn a monthly dining adventure into a Magical Experience... This has become the monthly "go to" culinary excursion for my wife and I...
    ParizadeResponded on October 24, 2026
    This truly warms my heart! Having the two of you join us each month has become just as special for us as we hope it is for you. One of my greatest joys as Wine Director is sharing wonderful wines, great food, and memorable evenings with people who appreciate the experience as much as you both do. You’ve become part of our Parizade family, and we absolutely adore you! Thank you for your kindness, enthusiasm, and for allowing us to make a little magic together each month. Cheers to many more wonderful evenings! ❤️🍷
