🍷Paragon Supper Club review: An impressive wine list at a place that takes it seriously
The wine list at Paragon Supper Club in Washington Twp. has something for everyone, from $8 glasses of Robert Mondavi to wines that cost several hundred dollars and more. Reviewer Ray marcano had his eye on the 2020 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon ($175) but changed his mind because he wanted to sample several of the offerings. For dinner, he ordered the 16-ounce bone-in fillet, a salad, and a potato ($70). The Paragon also had a few specials that night, so he ordered the macaroni and cheese.

🍷Morgan’s offers elevated familiar dishes through chef’s creativity
There’s no better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than enjoying a meal that is made with passion and love. That’s exactly the type of experience guests can expect from Morgan’s, located at 1101 W. Third St. in the Wright Dunbar District in Dayton. Elevated dishes that guests can expect from Morgan’s include Lamb Chops, Philly Cheesesteaks, Gouda Mac & Cheese (which I can confidently say is the best mac & cheese I’ve ever tasted), Chicken Wings (with 15 different sauce choices available), Bourbon Glazed Salmon and more. They also offer a variety of cakes and desserts as well as a fully stocked bar with specialty cocktails.
