    Paragary's remains a lovely destination for dinner in a very nice attractive venue. While the dining options for dinner seemed fairly priced for a nice meal, the bar items seemed overprice. The service was warm, competent and not stuffy. We really enjoyed meeting friends here for dinner.

    As an older gentleman and has found himself in today's dating apps discovered IL Fornaio by chance when asked others a recommendation for a good Italian restaurant. Easy parking, friendly greeting and a wonderful waitress, who didn't bombard myself and my guest and timing was perfect when attention was needed. Food was too notch, ambient impressive. And the prices were to be expected. We enjoyed ourselves and our 3rd date was textbook. Definitely return.
