Paragon Restaurant Review

: Part of a small West Coast chain, this classy American bistro is a good fit and prime destination in the tony Pearl District. Well-dressed and -coiffed urbanites keep the spacious bar packed; they’re there as much for the scene as for expertly turned-out cocktails. There are 60 vodkas to choose from as well as 30 or so wines by the glass. The restaurant proper has a contemporary design with factory windows and a concrete floor, so there's plenty of noise. But many of the best dishes have an old-fashioned feel, such as a local mushroom risotto, braised pot roast with mashed potatoes, and roasted half chicken with mac ‘n’ cheese. Desserts continue the upscale home-cooking vibe with a chocolate chip ice cream sandwich or brownie sundae. Weekends evenings offer a special barbecue menu. Service is snappy and urbane.
