Parea is very good for an upper scale restaurant in downtown Valpo and could very well be my local favorite for a sit down dinner. The service here has always been very good and the servers seem like pretty down to Earth individuals (at least those I’ve spoken to). The atmosphere is very nice and the bar area is no exception. The food is the real show here and it (Mostly) never disappoints. The food is about what I’d expect, it’s very good, but oftentimes I feel like it’s lacking a little something that makes it really shine as opposed to other high end restaurants I’ve been to in other towns. It’s also pretty pricey which is expected for a restaurant of this caliber, but with that high price comes an expectation that the food will be excellent. And for the most part, it does not disappoint.

One of the best spots in town. The fish is yummy and so is the Lamb shank. Drinks are superb as always.

This was our first time at Parea and I was very pleased overall with our experience. I got the Blackened Mahi Mahi with a side salad and it was really quite good; the mango salsa was perfect with the fish and they were able to sub me rice for cous cous which was cooked very well. My boyfriend had the ribeye with the lemon rice soup and was equally as pleased with his dish, although a little disappointed they don’t sell the soup by the quart! My only qualm with the meal was my side salad. It wasn’t bad, it was just, a little lackluster. But that wasn’t what I was there for so I wasn’t really that bothered. I will say, they were pretty slow and I was kind of shocked considering how much we enjoyed our meal. Overall, it was a really enjoyable experience and we will definitely be back!

Cute place nice enough staff, but the food was awful. My salad was like ice berg lettuce and my husbands Alfredo came with TWO scallops on it. Also the calamari sucked chewy fried do not recommend for food

Food is always good. Service is good too. But our tip was changed on our bill. I reached out to them by social media twice and got no response. The difference was only $2 so not a big deal but it’s definitely not an honest mistake in leaving $18 andbeing charged $20. Not sure how that was managed but can’t say we will be back anytime soon and if we do we will just pay in cash and tip cash.

Parea is sooooo good! Second time the Wife and I have went here to eat dinner. We will definitely make it a trifecta soon. I would highly recommend this place if You are ever in Downtown Valparaiso. I had the Filet Mignon again since it was cooked to perfection the first time. And guess what, it was just as good the next time, if not better. With Mashed Potatoes and Asparagus, You can’t go wrong!

Great food, seating was a good for short periods, but hurt me and another after 45 minutes. People were very friendly and informed. Food took quite awhile but was well worth it.

This is a really nice restaurant, very classy decor. There was soft jazz playing in the softly in the background and it’s a really nice place to have date night.
We were greeted and seated right away and our server promptly took our order.
My wife and I chose the filet and it was really good. Mine was ordered medium rare and hers was medium and both were perfect. The mashed potatoes were homemade and very tasty. The grilled asparagus was tender and good.
Overall this was a very good meal and we were very happy.
