Reviews for Parea Restaurant & Lounge in Valparaiso, IN

This is a really nice restaurant, very classy decor. There was soft jazz playing in the softly in the background and it's a... really nice place to have date night. We were greeted and seated right away and our server promptly took our order. My wifeand I chose the filet and it was really good. Mine was ordered medium rare and hers was medium and both were perfect. The mashedpotatoes were homemade and very tasty. The grilled asparagus was tender and good. Overall this was a very good meal and wewere very happy. Read more

Great food, seating was a good for short periods, but hurt me and another after 45 minutes. People were very friendly and... informed. Food took quite awhile but was well worth it. Read more

Parea is sooooo good! Second time the Wife and I have went here to eat dinner. We will definitely make it a trifecta soon. I... would highly recommend this place if You are ever in Downtown Valparaiso. I had the Filet Mignon again since it was cooked toperfection the first time. And guess what, it was just as good the next time, if not better. With Mashed Potatoes and Asparagus,You can't go wrong! Read more

First visit was excellent. My steak was prepared to a perfect medium and the asparagus was not crunchy nor soft. The home made... potatoes were the best we've ever had. Cocktails were different but mixed and pared well with food. Definitely had a betterdining experience than kelseys, and was not as expensive. Will revisit to try other parts of the menu. Read more

Pareas has never failed to deliver a great meal. I have been going there for many years and tonight was no different. Serena... was our server and she did an excellent job. Thank you! Read more

This place is Valpo's little secret. Located right downtown next to the court house. Parea offers a great atmosphere for drinks... after work with friends, a great place for a reunion, a business meeting, or even a romantic dinner with your significant other.I had the fig jam and goat cheeseburger. Shelley had the mahi mahi potatoes and broccoli. The burger was cook to perfection andthe mahi-mahi has never been more tender. The magician behind the bar Amber made some amazing drinks. (Ask her about hersignature drinks!) Read more

I got the Parea burger. It was one of the best burgers of my life! It has saganaki on it, caramelized onions, and garlic-cracked... pepper aioli. They bring it to the table open faced and light the cheese on fire! As it should be! And the burger was cookedperfectly to medium, as ordered, and well seasoned. Perfection! Read more

Stopped in here for first time and found it pretty relaxed and comfortable. Drinks were good (raspberry martini) and bartender... was friendly. I ordered the filet mignon medium rare and although it was more toward medium really enjoyed the taste of thesteak. I really haven't had a better tasting steak in area for a while, mashed potatoes were good too. I will be back to sampleother things on menu. Read more
