Early New Year's Eve dinner with 2 other couples. Everyone enjoyed the food and all ordered different dishes. They were very accommodating to wife's allergy list and easily created a great evening Thank you
A delightful experience from the gracious greeting on arrival to check out. The subdued atmosphere with the impeccable service and outstanding meals was a pleasure. The scallops were perfect as was the sea bass as was wine. We will return soon.
Excellent service, excellent food! Our only issue was a couple of loud kids at the next table; we should have asked to be moved.
Paon Restaurant & Bar offers a memorable dining experience with a focus on top-quality dishes and attentive service. The menu features a variety of options, including scallops, Chilean Sea Bass, Hamachi appetizers, and couquilles St Jacques. The gnocchi appetizer is made fresh daily, while the duck confit and pheasant dishes are prepared to perfection. Recent reviews highlight the delicious salmon tartare, short rib, and Ribeye, all living up to expectations. Customers praise the great presentation and engaging service, including knowledgeable servers. The hot and fresh bread and butter add to the experience. The French-inspired menu features a wide variety of items, with a great wine list to complement the meals. Service is professional and polite, with a more formal French style. The restaurant is a popular spot in Carlsbad for dinner, often recommended for its consistent quality. Visitors enjoy the large portions, especially the sea bass and scallops, which are cooked perfectly. Desserts like mint ice cream with chocolate sauce are appreciated for not being too sweet. Despite some thoughts that the dessert menu could be stronger on French options, Paon Restaurant & Bar continues to provide a fine dining experience that keeps guests coming back.
