Pao - Sangamon

We had a worst experience with server named Susie. It was my husband’s birthday :

Our group had a thoroughly enjoyable experience at Pao on Friday night. Our waitress Bailey was attentive to all our needs and was quite pleasant. Congrats to the management and food staff for excellent selections. On a personal note, they have a new sea bass addition that is full of flavor.

After a small incident, I was told to F off and leave! Because my kind was not welcome there. As a religious patron after several visits, I have never received such disrespect and unprofessionalism!!!!!

We haven't eaten at Pao in more than 5 years. My wife had a mixed green salad with goat cheese, and a vegetarian pasta dish. She was pleased with both, especially the salad which was fresh and crisp. I started with the fig, onion, and goat cheese sliders. I thought the three sliders would be just that, but they had tiny burgers as well. They were terrific. My main course was grilled divers scallops with creamed leeks and roasted asparagus. It was also terrific, as was the creme brulee for dessert. Chelsey, our server, was attentive and knew the menu; she recommended the scallops rather than the Chilean sea bass special. In sum, we had an excellent dinner. The room was loud which made our conversation difficult at times. My biggest gripe call me an out of date curmudgeon or a snob was a man who kept his Cincinnati baseball hat on while dining. Many people don't dress appropriately scruffy jeans and t shirts seem the norm and such dress really sets me off. But we'll return to Pao for another excellent meal.

Absolutely fantastic food! We had the deviled eggs to start. Husband had the steak with twin Lobster tails and I had the Cajun pasta with seared shrimp. We ended the night with the Cheesecake. It can be expensive, however it was worth it! Our waiter was great as well. We will definitely be going back soon!
