Pao offers an excellent dining experience with a menu that features a range of options, including salads, pasta dishes, and seafood. Standout dishes include the mixed green salad with goat cheese, vegetarian pasta, fig, onion, and goat cheese sliders, grilled divers scallops with creamed leeks and roasted asparagus, and Cajun pasta with seared shrimp. Recent reviews highlight the quality of the food, such as the rotisserie chicken with mashed potatoes and broccoli, and lobster tails also served with mashed potatoes. The restaurant has a new sea bass addition that is full of flavor. The service is attentive, with knowledgeable servers like Bailey and Ryan, who are noted for being pleasant and accommodating. The atmosphere can be loud, and lighting may be dim, but the food and service make up for it. Guests can enjoy sitting on the patio, weather permitting, with staff quickly moving tables indoors if it rains. Prices tend to be higher, but many consider it worth the cost. Parking is available in the Gables.
