" Superb dining experience! I loved the modern take on classic French cuisine. The duck was juicy, and the side dishes complemented it perfectly. We were impressed by the wine menu, too. Everything felt well curated, from the food to the ambience—definitely a recommended spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Paon and, while it did deliver on some fronts, I found a few disappointments. The wine selection was impressive, but my main dish, the ribeye, was unfortunately overcooked and lacked flavor. On a positive note, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I may return to give it another chance, as I've heard great things about their seafood. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dinner at Paon after hearing great reviews, but I left feeling slightly disappointed. The duck was tough, and the seasoning on my rack of lamb was non-existent. I thought for the price, the dishes should be exceptional. However, the staff was attentive and made our dining experience pleasant. I might give it another chance with different dishes next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Paon is good, but I found the prices quite steep for the portions served. Though everything tasted good, I expected more from the classics like the French onion soup. The service was solid, but the dishes felt rushed. I think I expected more ambiance and less stress around time. I'd consider trying a different restaurant next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Paon last month and was very impressed with the quality of the food. We ordered the duck confit and the rack of lamb, both of which were outstanding. The only drawback was that the portion sizes seemed a bit small for the price. The service was great, though, with a friendly staff that was quick to help with any requests. Overall, a satisfying experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Paon was okay. We enjoyed our meals, especially the seafood pasta, but the service was a bit lacking. It felt like our waiter forgot about us a few times. The atmosphere is cozy and well-decorated, which helped lift our spirits. Overall a decent option, but we might explore other places next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Paon was a mixed bag for us. The atmosphere has a charming vibe, but our experience was dampened by slow service. We ordered the cheese plate and duck confit, both of which were decent but didn’t blow us away. The waiter seemed overwhelmed, which caused some delays. Maybe we'll give it another try during a less busy time. " (*Curated Review*)
