Pairings Bistro

Great food, cocktails and atmosphere. Ordered the Blood Orange Margarita and the Partridge in a Pear Tree seasonal cocktail and both were great. They have a nice selection of craft cocktails that they change by the season, as well as to just keep the menu changing. Never had a drink here that wasn't good. We only got a charcuterie, but it was delicious. You can pick your selections which is nice.Staff very friendly and attentive. Ample parking. Sat in the bar so didn't have reservations. Also went at a non busy time. This place does get very busy so make reservations if you can. Definitely worth the visit. We are repeat visitors.

Happy Valentines!I typically only go to Pairings for special occasions and for dinner this was our 4th visit. We weren't impressed. First, Pairings has renovated and the place is stunning. As for seating the old barrel room seems to be still the coveted spot as there are tables inside, outside, at the bar and throughout the skinny main room. For us this evening we were lined up on the wall of the dining room and our impression was much like a vacation resort where you can't help but hear the neighboring tables conversation. Aside from the jam packed restaurant the food was lacked the luster of Pairings as we remembered and tonight was missing the wow experience. Our server did well but overall the food was mediocre with cream of crab and the beet salad being the best. Oysters Rock and bistro steak were very average. The Caesar grilled was half inedible salad core. Wine portions during the pairing were poured lightly. Will try again when the restaurant isn't in the weeds scrambling, tonight simply was missing overall quality.

Went in for a small snack today and was pleased with what we got. The mushrooms in the salmon app were delicious. I also appreciated the fact that they serve the cream of crab soup with the sherry on the side since I don't prefer it. Both were delicious even with the small portions. Great ambiance and friendly staff. I will probably get wine and an entree next time as the menu was very extensive with a lot to choose from!

We visited pairings on a date night per a recommendation. I made a reservation in advance so we were seated right away. There was a nicely lit room and a bigger "family style" looking room with lesser ambiance. They tried to seat us in the more family friendly room with screaming kids and I immediately asked to sit in the other room, which they seemed to not have a problem with. I wondered the whole meal why we were initially sat in the first room when the only people in there were a large family with screaming kids. Once seated, service was a bit sporadic. The server we had was very helpful in explaining how things worked and was patient in answering my questions. I did an a la carte with wine and my husband did a 3 course meal with wine. I ordered the cheese and charcuterie and he had crab soup. Both were good. The cheese board (pictured) was nicely put together and sufficient. For entrees we had sliders (pictured) and venison tenderloin (pictured). Sliders came with a large helping of very salty fries, which I enjoyed, husband doesn't like salt like that. His venison was cooked well but for the price, the portion was lacking. Since he hunts and grills his own venison, in my opinion that meal fell a bit short. For dessert, he refused to share with me so we each had our own cheesecake which he regretted because it was very filling (and so good)!Overall, the place was good. The only thing that was lacking in my opinion was the sporadic service. We didn't see our server as much as I expected and the courses each took a decent while to come out. It was a Saturday night though so...Lastly, the wine we had was excellent. Even the moscato with dessert. Our favorite was the Noble Vines and we bought a bottle for 10% off! The guy at the counter offered to show us the other part of the restaurant but the whole experience was 2.5 hours and I need a nap so we politely declined. We would definitely like to come back and do this again though!

Do not judge a book by its cover. This place is so cool inside. It is in a plaza but deserves to be a free standing place! We went at an off time like 2 pm so it wasn't all that busy. The bartender was our server. We had whipped goat cheese crab soup and a blackened chicken salad. The salad had fried capers. They were amazing. The food was the best! Will def be going back in July!

Tasty meal and complementary champagne for birthday celebrations! Cozy spot with knowledgeable owners that I would definitely go to again!

We came here for my husband's birthday. I highly recommend making a reservation, as this place appears pretty popular. The ambiance inside is very warm and inviting. You can either order a la carte or price fixe with or without wine pairings that they select. I like how they allow you some flexibility with price fixe, for instance, you can order two appetizers and an entree if you don't want a dessert (which is what I did). Since my husband prefers red wine in general over white wine, they also allowed this so all the wine pairings with his dishes were different red wines.I was a little disappointed by the golden beet salad. It consisted of arugula, golden beets, grapes, and some goat cheese. I feel like they could have added something additional or perhaps use something different than grapes to make the salad stand out more. My husband likes his lobster mac and cheese appetizer and it did contain chunks of lobster. I had the baked brie as my second appetizer, which may be seasonal. It came with some French bread and cranberry jam, with candied walnuts on top. I thought the combination of the baked brie and the jam was very tasty. I got the scallops for my entree. It came with 5 medium to large ones, cooked very well, with celeriac which apparently is celery root puree. Tasted great. My husband got the bistro steak. He didn't complain about it except to ask for salt and pepper but I thought it seemed overcooked since he asked for medium rare. Finally, we got the creme brulee for dessert. Overall, we had a wonderful experience here. Our server was good and I felt our questions were addressed adequately. It's not cheap so I would save this for a special occasion. My only gripe was the plainness of the salad and the steak tasting overcooked and a bit lacking in taste.

I've been to Pairings once before almost 3 years ago and I remember liking the ambiance of the place and their wine list. I went there this time with a group of 6, which we had reserved a table in their covered patio. Ambiance: I recommend dressing up a bit when you dine here, it has a fancy/classy vibe. It's a perfect spot for celebrating anniversaries/valentines/dinning with people visiting from out of town. They have great service. The waiters are very attentive and very formally friendly! Food: We went at dinner time so we chose from the 4 course menu (picture of menu added). Salads: I got the golden Beets for my salad: this was actually Ana amazing salad, I'm not a big fan of beets but the combination of the goat cheese and walnuts with the golden beets had perfect harmony. Soups: I had the cream of crab soup, came with a side of dry sherry, It was not bad at all but I wasn't a big fan, other cream of crab soups have that flavor that pops in your mouth, and this was lacking that flavor. Entree: I got the steak which came over a bed of truffle frites. The truffle frites were crispy and delicious, the steak on the other hand, which I done medium, was a bit chewy. Maybe if I had gotten it cooked differently, it would have been better. Steak was seasoned well. Dessert: I got the flourless chocolate cake. I love dessert that does not fill your mouth with taste of sugar so this chocolate cake was perfect for me. It had the right amount of sweetness and the right amount of creaminess. Definitely would get this cake again. Overall, Pairings is a really cute spot to visit. I only gave it 4 stars because my entree wasn't too impressive!

Date night was a huge success as we enjoyed ourselves at Pairings. Everything was exceptional. The food, customer service, and cocktails were phenomenal. I highly recommend.

Ate dinner on Friday night 1/17, had the flash grilled Caesar salad it was delicious, their flat bread pizza has excellent flavor and we completed the meal with their sundae, three mini scoops of ice cream, fresh chocolate dipped waffle plus whip cream and toppings. Our bartender / waiters name was Will, he provided excellent service and truly is focused on exceeding your expectations. He level of service just made the night a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
