I can only second Loren's review, 7/9. The only reason that I gave this restaurant any stars at all is that the food is good, and the prices are reasonable. Also our waitress was very pleasant. The service was good.
All of the above was terribly offset by the atmosphere. Let me add that prior to eating there this evening I had checked out their web site. There is a HUGE DISCONNECT between what is portrayed on the web site and what we found when we got to the restaurant. What we found when we entered the establishment is nothing like the web site images. When we walked in I felt that the atmosphere was unappealing, and very loud. Since this was the case as it was a pleasant summer evening we elected to dine on the patio. Smoking is permitted on the patio and this was a huge turnoff. A number of the patrons had had too much to drink and course vulgar language was inescapable.
Overall this experience was a let down. We like to support local businesses and to dine at restaurants that are not part of a chain. However, we will not be returning to the Paradise Restaurant. It is anything but a paradise!
