Editorial Review for Paradigm Restaurant – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Beyond the 40-foot granite bar with its halogen lights overhead, is a medium-sized dining area which offers an eclectic menu of varied entrees (grilled ostrich filet, Australian lamb chops, NY strip steak). The most distinguishing feature of Paradigm, however, may be the glass doors of the individual restrooms which are clear when unlocked, then turn opaque when latched.

I went to Paradigm Restaurant over the weekend and had a great night out! The service was attentive, the food delicious and the drinks were made to perfection. I had the mediterranean linguine and bread pudding! Both so delicous that I didn't want to share....but i did so I could have some of my date's shrimp appetizer and filet mignon! Great food, Great Atsmophere, Great Place!
Pros: ambience, service, food, martinis

Went with a date on a Friday. I've been to Paradigm a few times and really liked it so I thought I'd check it out on my way to a Philly's game. The wine list is solid. I'm not a wine geek, but I do know my way around a wine list and like that they don't just load up on the obvious Napa/Sonoma choices. Cocktails were fantastic. If you order a mojito, the bartender actually cracks the ice before pouring a generous amount of rum into a chilled glass. Dinner was great. I had the requisite Calamari which also blew me away. I'm not really a calamari guy, but my guest insisted and the server told us it is a very popular item. I expected rubber but got very tender, crispy calamari as well onion and green beans-another pleasant surprise. My steak was cooked spot-on and my guests halibut looked like something out of a food magazine and was also cooked perfectly. Our server was quietly awesome! We weren't in the mood to socialize and she did not intrude or get all in your face and tricky about it, she just brought us what we needed.
