Paon Restaurant & Bar 2975 Roosevelt Street, Carlsbad, CA 92008

"Very nice restaurant. Everything was spot on. The Special was a veal chop, which I got. Great taste, but little over done. Taste was spot on. The bartender was a little slow. Don't sit at the bar if you are in a hurry. I will return."

"This place was perfect for Thanksgiving. Special menu, set prices and tasty food. We really enjoyed this as a family of 4."

"Very mixed experience at this restaurant. I had a real estate closing today and I thought I would stop for some French Wine and caviar to celebrate. I am neighbors with the owner in the big yellow house.and he is always recommending that I come in. Boasts of amazing wine list. Upon entry to the patio I was immediately denied service because I had a small service dog. Mind you the patio is outdoors. Secondly, I asked to see the manager and showed my ADA service certifications. My dog has had over 200 hours of service training and is recognized under the American disabilities act. The manager was extremely rude and demanded that my dog stay under the table and reminded me that this is a Restaurant as if I was doing something wrong. I sat in the outside patio, ordered an expensive bottle of wine, champagne and caviar and did my best to have a nice experience. My server was very nice after the initial experience. This is a very small town, and this restaurant had about two other tables occupied. I wouldn’t be running people out of here if I were the management. Cheers!"

"We went for a belated Mother’s Day lunch and were super happy with everything! Great wine menu, the food was delicious, the ambience is beautiful, and our server was funny and helpful. We sat outside which was great for a kiddo. Would definitely go back. Would like to check out their wine tasting room as well."

"We had a great experience at Paon and will definitely come back. The service exceeded our expectations. Our server Eugene was very attentive but not intrusive. Eugene was friendly and highly professional and accommodating. The owner Steve was very personable and made us feel welcomed and comfortable. He came by our table, engaged with us, and gave us good recommendations! The food was amazing, very well seasoned and prepared to perfection. They also have a large wine selection and cocktails. Attached to the restaurant is a quaint wine bar/shop with live music on the weekends, large wine selection, and a cozy atmosphere! I highly recommend Paon and give Eugene a 5-star rating!"
