Paragon - Costa Mesa

No more dinner service? Say it ain't so! We have had lovely times for brunch and dinner at Paragon. The Valentine's Day dinner event was excellent this year. I hope Markuz and Dean will still have at least the occasional dinner event. Food has never disappointed. The menu is short and delicious, the dining room quite intimate, Markuz does an awesome job as host, what else needs to be said?

Almost everything perfect. love it. three different espresso drinks all were terrible. still would go but get coffee at portola

Loved my experience. Food and drinks were delicious.

Beautiful atmosphere and top service ?Also very good value for the quality and experience.Brunch was delicious. I loved the honey gem salad! The only thing I didn't love was the mimosa flight, but that's just personal taste. I didn't like the grapefruit or watermelon, but the orange was good and the yuzu was incredible.I also really loved the French toast bites. They were crunchy and not what I was expecting, but really delicious.The truffle fries were ehh. Not my favorite, but only because the truffle flavor wasn't strong and the potatoes were a little soft in the middle. Not bad at all, just not my taste.Seating is very comfortable and the atmosphere is lovely.All of the staff were so friendly and accommodating. Even though not everything about the meal was perfect, they went above and beyond to make it a 5 star experience. I would definitely come back for brunch!

Went for brunch on a Saturday, service was great, food was delicious, and we enjoyed the live music.
