Sometimes feel ill

by Tryingtohelp at Citysearch

This is a gorgeous location and the servers know what they're doing. The food has been good and there is a decent amount of variety, but I occasionally get sick after eating there. The sanitation score was 94 at my last visit...which isn't horrendous, but I still got an upset stomach for the next 24 hours.

• Pros: Ambiance, Tasty
• Cons: Cleanliness?, price

Never again

by Gris at Citysearch

My co-workers and I had lunch at Parizade on 2/10/10 and it was enough to ensure I will never go back. We arrived and it took 10 minutes to order drinks, another 10 for them to actually arrive and then the waitress vanished for another 10 minutes. Even though this was during the lunch rush, their were not a lot of people in the restaurant and there were a number of staff members walking around. So, thirty minutes in and we still have not ordered. After our food was ordered it sat in the window long enough for all of the soups to be cold. Our orders were not correct and it took two attempts at getting someone over to the table to get it corrected.

The waitress sat our food down at the table, turned and left without asking if anyone needed anything, she never refilled any drinks and never asked if orders were correct. At the end of the meal she said their was a problem in the kitchen and that was what caused the delay...odd considering I saw the plates just sitting on the kitchen ledge waiting for someone to actually deliver them to the table.

The manager also came over and said their were problems in the kitchen, but I just have a hard time believing that when tables all around us did not seem to have any issues with getting their drinks refilled or food in a timely manner.

Dessert was offered on the house as compensation, and that was disappointing as well.

• Cons: Slow wait staff, slow kitchen, managers just walking around

More hits than misses

by BustedFlush at Citysearch

An upscale atmosphere with a lot of custom metal work and spectacular paintings greet you at Parizade.

If we had been there before we would have probably dressed up a bit, but no one seemed to take issue with our jeans.

Our server introduced himself 3 times, and his accent was a bit thick, but he was attentive and was able to answer some menu questions, make some suggestions, and he treated my 5 year old daughter very well.

The food arrived slightly longer than I would have liked, but not at all unreasonably.

The rosemary roast chicken was very well cooked, nice and juicy. My oxtail ragout with gnocchi was velvety and tender. The paella was a surprise miss, with flavors of gumbo instead of Spain.

The prices were more than reasonable; I'd go so far as to say a bargain for the quality and atmosphere.

I would absolutely go back.

• Pros: Classy with very fair prices
• Cons: None

Excellent Service, Great Food

by bouncyday at Citysearch

Outstanding waitress, excellent food at a fair price. We dined on a Monday evening and it was lightly occupied so our server didn't have many tables to handle. The rosemary grilled chicken was outstanding. My wife had the orzo/seafood/spinach dish and it was extremely good with generous portions., The only problem was we were too full to try the desserts.

• Pros: Parking, Service, Food
• Cons: Bread was just average
