Paragary’s is a lively neighborhood restaurant with modern California flair, located in the heart of Midtown, Sacramento. The menu and bar program are dictated by the seasonal bounty of the Sacramento region. Originally established in 1983, the restaurant underwent an extensive remodel in 2015, combining both modern and traditional elements to create a relaxed, timeless environment that lets the food and drinks take center stage. The light and airy interior opens up to the renowned dining patio that features waterfalls, 60 year-old olive trees and a large fireplace.

Had a wonderful meal as always......however, the noise from the restaurant diminished the experience somewhat. We'll avoid eating here on a Saturday night.

Service and ambiance were great! Drinks were fantastic, our server who said he was relatively new to the establishment was also amazing and set the tone for our evening. My fiance ordered chicken breast and I ordered the pork chop special. Both wee subpar for the cost. Expected more, but as we visited mid week, would expect things to be subpar.

The waiter was very attractive. However, we were constantly being pushed to order. They kept trying to take our plates away, had to guard them. Felt rushed, they even took the lamp off the table. We did not have any time to sit and visit. Will never ever go back.

I think my biggest pet peeve is sitting at a bar for over 30 minutes with not as much as a look from the bartender or staff. Everyone else around us was being served or getting food and drinks. Weird. Food was meh. Service wasn't great. Bummed because this was always my favorite spot in midtown.

Huge disappointment. Took the wife for Valentines dinner. Only option was their fixed six course selection which was so so. Salads were ok but beef wagyu entree was very salty and dessert options were very disappointing. Service between courses was very slow, 35 minutes between pasta and entree. Will not go back
