Parea Restaurant & Lounge offers an extensive menu with a variety of dishes to cater to different tastes. Reviewers have highlighted the good service, with servers being praised for their promptness, knowledge, and pleasant demeanor. The menu features options such as starters like goat cheese-stuffed mushroom caps, scallops, and a variety of appetizers that remind guests of Greece, showcasing fresh ingredients and love in the cooking. Main courses include filet mignon, Argentinian steak, Blackened Mahi Mahi, lamb shank, seafood risotto, along with vegetarian options like the stuffed avocado. While the overall dining experience seems positive, some customers have mentioned issues with the steak, which was either overly salted or not cooked well. Nonetheless, many diners enjoyed their meals, with the lemon rice soup, calamari, and saganaki receiving positive reviews, as well as excellent fish and chips. The atmosphere is described as calm and relaxing, though it can be quite dark inside, particularly in the bar area. The owners, Pete and Danny, are noted as amazing hosts, and many guests express a desire to return to Parea, which provides a great time out for dinner.
