Restaurant Description

Step into an upbeat, modern atmosphere and experience eclectic international cuisine where the alluring atmosphere is as tasty as the dishes. Paradigm's specialties include Best of Philly's grilled smoked mozzarella, sweet crispy duck and rosemary lamb chops. Paradigm's wine list is just as diversified as the menu, satisfying everyone's palate - from Spanish Riojas to Italian Amarones and Australian Sauvignon Blancs. Not Hungry? Sip cocktails at the magnificent 40 foot granite bar, where there are over 75 martinis to choose from. Learn where the evening begins.

The plan to go to Dolce / Paradigm began with high ambitions. I invited in friends from out of town to celebrate New Year's Eve. We reserved a table and I paid $450 in advance (this price included two bottle service bottles).

Upon arriving at the club, they would not seat us at our reserved table until 11PM, and we had to pay for our drinks until we sat down at our table! To make it worse, they left dinner tables on the dance floor all night, so there was no dancing. They also didn't allow the DJ to set up and play music, so we listened to an Ipod mix all night. To top it off, my jacket was stolen from the club, and they kicked us out of the front door before I could even look for it. I lost a cell phone, an expensive jacket, and over $200 cash.

To make things worse, they charged an extra $200 to my credit card several days later. They have been giving me the run around ever since.

My words of advice, don't go to this place unless you want to get robbed!

Service was so excellent. They went out of their way to make sure that we had a pleasant visit. The biscuits with the garlic butter was fresh and delicious. Food was very tasty, did not care too much for the potato salad, too many different ingred ...
