Additional Information

Diablo Review:


With its sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay and magical setting in Berkeley’s Claremont resort, Paragon has long been a popular spot for drinks and a bite. The killer cocktails still go down smooth, while the hotel has revamped the food menu to offer a more contemporary selection of American brasserie–style dishes with an emphasis on local ingredients. The cheese board offered melt-in-your-mouth fresh Burrata and delicious wedges of grilled in-season persimmons. Our Caesar salad had crunchy fresh-baked croutons and ocean-fresh anchovies, but the romaine lettuce had been dressed for too long. The burger, grilled cheese, and bamboo-steamed chicken dumplings were great, as was the huge pork chop, brined for juicy tenderness and served with lentils and sweet braised red cabbage.  Lunch and dinner daily.
