Went out tonight for our wedding anniversary and we thoroughly loved our evening. Our meal was cooked to perfection (strip loin cooked to our request of medium-well) and the quantity was just right. I am not a fan of mashed potatoes but whatever they did to these, I loved. Desserts were just the right amount as well.
This was by far the tastiest meal I've had in a very long time. The trout and shrimp combo was amazingly delicious. The dill and stir-fry mix gave a very tasty kick to the entree.
The meal was a $20 special which came with the entree I just described, a starter caesar salad, and a pecan tort, which also was amazing.
Service was great too, very friendly and informative in how I should try outdoor soccer instead of indoor because it might help with my bad knees.
I have been here about 5 times in the last 6 months; I was initially hooked on the braised wild boar and gnocchi. However, since our second visit, the food has been inconsistent and the service has been lacking. Once we waited at the door for about 5 minutes to be seated with the servers in one corner chatting.... this seems to be a common practise in many restaurants now a days, pity.... I will try Paradiso one more time since the good experiences are great. I would also suggest reserving the bigger booths in the back and not the ones in front of the kitchen.
2 more quick things, I ordered crab cakes, my wife ordered salad and we ordered soup to share (we made this known to the waitress as well), so instead of bringing it out in the correct order where we could eat together, she brought out the soup and crab cakes, my poor wife was left to eat her salad by herself 15 mins later.... also our waitress did not refill our wine glasses.... pretty common knowledge I had thought.
Great Food, Great Service and Good atmosphere, as Charlie Sheen would say, "Winner, Winner! Chicken Dinner!" In this case, the Moroccan Chicken was the winner!
The Good: Wow where to start? The service was impeccable with knowledge, attentiveness and well mannered. The food was incredible with the Gnocchi very fresh and beat salad was very unique with a nice combination of sweetness and sourness. If beets tasted that good when I was growing up I'd eat them all the time. The Moroccan Chicken Supreme did live up to its name. Absolutely Superb!
The Bad: The copper tables are a nice touch but they get all scratched up and the table we ate at had green trimmings from the copper oxidizing.
The Ugly: All the dishes were fantastic with the Veal Chops tasting very VERY funny. If you've read my reviews I rarely send things back, this one I had to send back because of this rotten smell coming from both veal chops (Daily special Menu).
Even though my entree was a bust, the service more than made up from it. The veal chops was a very poor representation of the high quality tasty food that Paradiso is used to producing. Highly Recommended!
Thank you to the staff who made our wedding reception a blast.
Last year we had a small family only wedding party after our return trip from Sandals, and decided to have it here after reading the reviews here.
We had the back room to ourselves and the waitstaff was amazing. The drinks were made to perfection. The wine was always topped off. Even the picky 'chicken only' eaters of the family were happy. Everything arrived quickly and was perfect, warm and lovely.
The pricing for events is extremely fair and they will do whatever they can to make it stress free. You can tell the people who work there have a real passion for what they do.
There were even musicians wandering the restaurant that night...the perfect mood music for sure.
Thank you for such a wonderful night, I still tell people "You need to visit Paradiso!"
PS - Try the bread!
