PARA Charlotte

Decided to join a few friends on Sunday for dinner. This just so happened to be the last night of Queens Feast Restaurant Week. The server was extremely nice however he did let us know if one person wanted the restaurant week menu we would all have to order off that menu. However we could add additional apps. I was pretty disappointed with that seeing as my choice should not be forced due to someone else. None the less the service was amazing and the food was spot on. I enjoyed the atmosphere and ambiance of the restaurant. And amazing place for a girls night out or date night vibe.

Best spot for my Birthday Dinner. Aaliyah was the best server! The food was amazing. The vibes and ambience were great. We got the Spinach Dip, Calamari, Espresso Martini, Filet and Mashed Potatoes. 10/10 Recommend!

I came in on a night where a host by the name of Jules (hopefully I’m spelling that correctly) refused to provide her full name and told me there was an hour wait. She said there were no tables available, yet I took photos showing multiple open seating options. I checked back about twenty minutes later and was still told nothing was available. I don’t know her reasoning, but the way I was handled made me feel disregarded, and there was absolutely no customer service shown. When I asked for a manager, she responded with, "Why do you need the manager?" as if my request wasn’t valid on its own. The atmosphere here is beautiful, and I’ve always enjoyed my experiences…. especially at the bar. But customer service starts at the door, and if it isn’t right there, it affects the entire night!!!! That’s the reason for the lengthy review. SN: I spoke with manager at 10:56pm who said give him five minutes to get our table ready. He showed more care & effort than her. I also want to add that the bartender at the BAR was GREAT ! We wanted food and that went unfulfilled.

PARA Charlotte was a great experience overall. The food was amazing—very flavorful and definitely worth the price. I would give the drinks another try, as what I ordered just wasn’t for my taste. Our waitress was kind and professional while managing a large birthday party. At times she had others assist with our table, which we understood; however, this did occasionally result in longer wait times. The lounge does offer hookah, and during our visit a guest seated nearby was smoking, which made it a bit difficult to fully enjoy our meal due to the smoke. The vibe at PARA Charlotte is undeniable—great music, great food, and an enjoyable atmosphere. I would definitely visit again.

First impressions are everything to me! I popped up for the Queens Fest and it was packed and the vibes were there but service wasn’t equally given. Seemed like groups of 3 or more were prioritized. The food came out at a reasonable time (wasn’t quite impressed), but I asked for a cocktail that I never received. And later asked for a to go back which I had no problem with but it took 25 minutes for me to get the check the place was already near closing. Anyway I may give it a try again later in the year and come back with another review.

Was sooo loud! Great food, attentive server, hostess was lacking a bit, but not bad. Not suitable for handicap accessibility. My wife is hearing impaired, has hearing aids which helps a lot, but they were unable to find a way to make her experience better, also no ramp for wheelchairs. So good food and pretty good service, but again, it's LOUD. Music turned up leads to people needed to shout to talk...that is what it's like here.

Came here for a friend’s birthday. The ambiance was nice, my pasta tasted great, the drinks were good, and the calamari was yummy, but perhaps less peppers and more calamari next time. I’d return, though!
