Paragon Supper Club Reviews

We had a nice experience. the food was good and the atmosphere was pleasant.

It's like stepping back in time. This place has tons of old school charm. Excellent steak, service, and cocktails. Get the Paragon pour of your favorite bourbon!

We went there for dinner for Sweetest Day and it was all really good. It was good food & good service and we will definitely go back soon. You can sub your dinner salad with their 7 layer salad & that's what we did. Had not had that salad since the Peerless Mill Inn closed and it tasted absolutely wonderful. I'd go back to have that salad with their rolls as a meal itself. But the rest of our meal was delicious, also. A very nice dining experience for Sweetest Day!

Three hour wait without reservations but had a delightful time with the pianist, friends and bar service while we waited

A very pleasant dining experience. The service was top notch and probably the best steak I've had in the Dayton area.

Food is always amazing!! The service is outstanding!! Best steak in the area ! I love the seven layer salad. My husband loves the bison ribeye.

Amazing!! Our waiter, Steve, was too notch. This place is worth every penny

I just love the Pargon I have been eating there since the mid 80s I also love the managers and the staff I highly recommend eating there

We were there for a nice dinner with friends from our ballroom class. They had live music which was lovely. The ambiance was relaxing. The meal was delicious. The salad was okay. I am not a big fan of iceberg lettuce. I prefer romaine, leaf lettuce or spinach. I ordered the salad that comes with the meal.The service was great especially with as large of a group as we had, fourteen. It was a memorable evening!

This place works hard to chase off business repeatedly over the last 8 years we ve lived in Dayton. They must have a loyal enough following that new patrons are blown off repeatedly. The one time we actually did get a table we were in the middle with an absolutely horrible waitress.

But we called days before Christmas and were told the were open Christmas eve but no reservations. We arrive at 530 to a mostly empty parking lot and are told it would be a 4 hour wait for our group of 12. Rude young girl.

I have a feeling their regulars get reservations and the rest are stooges who drink and wait and fill in the gaps.

Oh, we got the crappers the one time we did actually eat here. We went cheap and got the sirloin tips and noodles. Must have be n sitting a long time waiting for us.

Guess we ll never get to eat here.

Haven t had a problem with Oakwood club on Pine Club.

We went for dinner, but after the bread and appetizer, my wife had a piece of key lime pie and we were full.
The appetizer had Tuna, Trout, and Salmon I believe, it was really good.

They have the best steaks in town and excellent service!!

Been dining at Paragon since they opened! Steaks are better than the Precinct at 1/2 the price!!

This place has turned into my favorite steakhouse in Dayton. Sure it might not have won National awards, but great food, generous serving sizes, nice atmosphere, wonderful staff... It hits all the right chords.

What can I say, this is a gem. Took my wife for our 14yr anniversary and we were completely blown away. I would give this place 10 stars if I could

I attended a birthday celebration at the Paragon in February and had been dreaming about their ranch Dill salad dressing ever since! I finally made it back! The salad was fantastic and the pork chops were beyond fantastic! Don't get intimated by the "dress code" they welcome hungry, well mannered diners! . Oh and the service was excellent even when dining alone.

Very expensive portions small unimaginative for the,cost..get a better steak and sides at chop house or even longhorn for less..think this places hey day has expired. .rest in peace

Everything was perfect that we ordered especially the schnecken.

First time I went here it was the best food I ever had in my life. That was 22 years ago! Went there tonight, biggest disappointment ever. 18oz ribeye was about 8ozs of fat and gristle, first medium steak I've had that was bleeding out on my plate. Must have got the cook from McDonald's. The so called shrimp cocktail was the biggest joke ever 5 little bitty shrimp on a frickin plate. Potato, pathetic. What the heck happened to this place.

Wonderful food with a great atmosphere to catch up with friends and family. Excellence in action!

Old school restaurant with great staff and food. The fried oysters and oysters Rockefeller are both excellent. I haven't had a bad steak here.

Fantastic from start to finish. Rib eye cooked to perfection and my wife said her filet was spectacular as well.

In all my 50+ years in Dayton I had never been to The Paragon. Met some friends there for a night of catching up. I ordered from the appetizer menu, the stuffed mushrooms and a side salad. Excellent! One friend got a rib eye and it looked beyond amazing. My other friend got a fish dish and it too looked really good. No room for dessert. Would go here again for a special occasion.

As always the food, service and atmosphere was perfect! Went on New year eve the wait was reasonable. Happy New year ! We will be back.

Amazing as always. Nothing but quality coming out of this kitchen.

Another great steak dinner. Our go to place for great food and celebrations. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Worst prime rib I've ever ate. Like chewing a piece of leather. Hash browns could've been a hockey puck.

Our server was the best. The food was great. The wine was wonderful. You definitely get your money's worth.

Excellent wine selection. Everything our party of 8 ordered was well-prepared and well-presented. Our server, Dacey, was friendly, attentive and professional.

We were looking forward to it all day, my husband's choice for his birthday, but we couldn't get seated..had to leave and go somewhere else...disappointing

Wonderful dinner, I love the food and the fact they never rush you. Definitely fine dining!

Visit Paragon Supper Club about 8 times a year. This last visit (1/6/18) was superb. Not just the steak but the entire meal. We will visit more often this year.

A nice,elegant restaurant with top notch food and cocktails. Like stepping back in a time machine to the 70s in a good way. Will be back again next year when I visit.

They re way too overpriced and my food that I had ordered was horrible! I didn t eat it at all. The waitress we had was old and VERY IGNORANT! She tried to play us like we didn t have money to tip...I know she mad that the other waitress who didn t wait on us got a $200 tip. Be careful on how you treat people cause it ll come back to you 10 fold. We re never going back..

A great old-school steak house. Like stepping back but in time in the most positive way.

I have lived in this area for years and had never been here! What have I been missing?!?!? I can't believe how good the food was! The atmosphere was warm and inviting and our server, Claire, was so nice and attentive! I have the filet tips in Stroganoff. Superb! I will definitely be back soon to try more of their menu!

I don't understand the appeal of his place. It's overpriced and the portions are small. The service is always lacking and the atmosphere is almost as boring as the food. No imagination whatsoever.

My spouse and I were without the children and decided to try the Paragon Supper Club the other night. So glad we did. The service was amazing and the steaks were top notch. Could not ask for anything better. We will be returning as soon as we find another sitter. Only suggestion, I would not have the staff recommend Theos Lounge for a night cap afterwards.

Delicious food! Helpful staff and a walk back in time. You must check it ought when you are in town!! Don't miss it!!!

Omg the food is just phenomenal everything there is just cooked to perfection over all it's just food to die for.

I've eaten steak all around the world. This was hands down the absolute best 16oz Bone in Filet I've ever eaten. Literally perfection on a plate. I will be back.

Great steaks! Stewed tomatoes are delicious. Service is wonderful!

Our of all the other steak restaurants in the area, the Paragon has the BEST steaks and seasoning around. Not to mention the amount of food you get for the price you pay, it can't be beat. The employees are extremely nice and the atmosphere is great! 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Just left the absolute worst service experience I ve had at this restaurant. In 35 years I ve had three bad experiences, 3 of the last 4. This is a pattern. From the initial contact with hostess and her suggestion that we contact the rest of the part and ask them to hold off on arriving because they were running behind on our reservation to the apathetic bartenders, the welcome experience was anything but welcoming. Quite the way to start!

The real disaster began to unfold once we finally were seated. The wait staff was completely disorganized, split our table in half and would only deal with (direct quote) their half of the party. The meal took two and half hours to complete with huge gaps between courses. As things progressed i quietly and politely brought the issues to the attention of the captain of the dining room only to be confronted table side, mid meal, by the manager regarding the issues. This was highly unprofessional and made a bad situation worse. No resolution was offered, but rather solicited, at which point I asked that they rally their team and finish strong. Apparently that was read as bring wrong meals, plates so overloaded with onion straws that you couldn t even see the steak, one person missing a meal entirely, and myself finishing my meal with a half full glass of water as opposed to the glass of wine i ordered, twice.

Thankfully the kitchen had it together as the steak was excellent as always.

I write this review because this is the third time in four visits I ve had really bad experiences. This place is and should be the best in Dayton, it s trending away from that. My hope was brining it to the attention the management on duty would make an impact and lead to better results. My impression of the manager is that he is over his head, lacking in experience and training, and completely clueless as to what service, let alone exceptional service, entails.

No offer of any kind was made to try and improve the situation. No follow up from the leadership was ever made. I walked right past the manager as we left and he couldn t even make eye contact let alone offer an apology or ask if things had improved. This is certainly one hell of way to run a railroad.

Perhaps the owners will read this, take this to heart as a wake up call from a life long Paragon disciple, and fix this. It will be a heartbreaking to read that the Paragon is closing and Dayton is loosing one of its icons again. If this is the future of service, this will be the future headline. Please wake up and fix this.

Classic steakhouse. I love the nostalgic atmosphere! Great steak. This is what I want in a locally owned restaurant.

Great atmosphere, nice staff, great service. Just extremely overpriced for the quality of food. If you like bland food. This would be your place. If you are like myself and prefer seasoning. I suggest trying elsewhere. Side note: They have a dress code. So if you are looking for a place people dress up to go to. This is a great place for that.

Hands down best steak meal in the area. Ask for warm bread. The hash browns and onion straws are awesome sides. Live jazz most weekends. Pricey but worth it.

Love the old steak house atmosphere. Steaks are very good, they have stewed tomatoes, hash browns and also liver and onions!. Bone in rib eye in the best.

Best steak I have had in the Dayton area! Loved the setting and environment. As soon as you put your name in for a table the bar is right there and very accommodating.

Great atmosphere, good food, social distancing in place.

As always, had an excellent meal with great service!

Don't understand what all the fuss is about. Just an old school steak joint that is waay overpriced. Hash browns and stewed tomatoes?! Wow there's creativity. Service was mediocre,won't go back.

Great steaks, great services. There can be a long wait here on the weekend.

Great dinner and service. Lots of very good food to go along with the nice atmosphere.

Don't go to the Paragon with your phone turned on. After we left they spammed us with unsolicited messages. Not cool.

We will be back food great and service. Waitress did a great job and not in a hurry.

We enjoyed the evening for our 36th wedding anniversary there. The staff was so friendly and attend to all our needs. The food was amazing, large portion and the bottle of wine was excellent. It was our first time there.After making reservation i thought I would look at the reviews, to be honest I was worried they had some bad reviews. But the place was elegant and I would highly recommend that you try it. THANKS SO MUCH for making our evening so special.

Good steak but not the best. Great fried oysters. Expensive

Excellent food, I had bacon wrapped fillets and they were cooked just the way I asked. Escargot for an appetizer, yum!

This was a very high end restaurant a bit too fancy for me, and not very many vegetarian options but they had some of the blue moon beer . It was just a bottle poured into a chilled glass but it tasted like a draft

New York strip was 50% gristle.
Brussels sprouts were soggy.
There are many more restaurant options where higher quality, at lower prices, dinners can be enjoyed.

Absolutely incredible. Unbelievable food and fantastic service.

Awesome dining experience! Great food and service!

Very cozy and comfortable environment. Ordered cocktail shrimp and salmon. Loved them.

Fantastic evening with my wife! Call ahead seating had our table ready only 5-8 minutes after arrival. Once seated our waitress made sure to attend to every possible detail. And both my wife (16oz filet) and I (18oz ribeye) were cooked too perfection. As well as a great cut with little or no fat/gristle. Would easily recommend The Paragon to friends and family.
