Three of us went to Paramount Grille for dinner. We all ate different entrees, and every one was superb. The chef is very creative, but retains the simplicity and full flavor of every fresh ingredient. It was a wonderful dining experience.

Went with family for Thanksgiving dinner. Reservations a must. There was a set menu and it was delicious. Chef/owner Cliff and his staff hit the right note with service and atmosphere. The restaurant didn't feel fancy, but sophisticated in a way I had not ever found when dining out on visits over the years to Gainesville. Would love to try... More

Very nice gormet restaurant in downtown Gainesville. Small and upscale and the food is excellent. Wish it were closer to our home.

Our 35th Anniversary dinner was celebrated at Paramount Grill. This is always our go-to place for special dinners for the two of us. We were not disappointed this time either. Always excellent service, atmosphere and food. The best "fancy" restaurant in Gainesville. Don't miss it.

This special occasion place is worth a visit. We drank several excellent wines by the glass from a very limited selection (many more available by the bottle.) The service was friendly and well-paced. Entree selection was limited but everything appealed. We split the beet salad, which had big square chunks of fresh beet and mozzarella, and followed with the fondue... More

We ordered a chicken and a beef plate. Both were good and the plates had an expensive artistic looking presentation to them. The tastes were unique and very good but not great.The decor was simple but elegant. Over all the experience was very nice, but not nice enough to match the ratings or expensive price tag.

The ambiance & service were excellent @ paramount. A romantic date night in downtown. Enjoyed walking to and from... More

Enjoyed an excellent evening with 27 associates. Owner/Chef Clif did an outstanding job in planning and executing our menu. Everyone agreed the meal choices were delicious and the service was excellent. Clif was a pleasure to work with and accommodated our group's diverse personalities. From appetizer to dessert, everything was yummy. We look forward to our next visit to Gainesville... More
