Parizade has gone downhill since my last visit. Apparently the rest of Durham realized that already. The restaurant was EMPTY.
I spent $150 on the meal; the worst high-priced meal in recent memory. My rib-eye steak was undercooked (the server didn't even inquire how I wanted it cooked). It was cold, bloody, and half fat. I could do better at the Food Lion.
The dining experience was 100% mediocre. The only positive was that the waitress ignored us, and we could spend 2 hours talking in isolation. But it's not like they needed our table.
I was VERY disappointed, since this was supposed to be a celebratory dinner. The food and service were adequate, but NOT deserving of the price. I'm happy that other reviewers had good experiences, but I will not be returning to Parizade.
** Still reeling... I can't believe I spent $150 on an undercooked steak... **
Pros: Not crowded
Cons: Overpriced (very), Mediocre food, Inattentive
