Haven't tried the food here, with the exception of the nachos they put out during Happy Hour. Â That plus a couple of beers on a Friday afternoon are a great way to start the weekend.
The beers are mostly domestic, but they do have some microbrews on tap, including Great Lakes. Â Staff is generally nice, too.
Great place to watch football. Â Food is decent... I have had way better bar food. Â We only ordered the buffalo chicken dip. Â While the portion was huge, it did not have a traditional buffalo chicken taste. Â Just about everything on the menu is fried so choose wisely (even the pita bread that came with our buffalo chicken app was fried). Â Mostly domestic beers. Â Be super careful going to the bathroom... The stairs are treacherous. Â Limited parking.
Review Source:I can only second Loren's review, 7/9. Â The only reason that I gave this restaurant any stars at all is that the food is good, and the prices are reasonable. Â Also our waitress was very pleasant. Â The service was good.
All of the above was terribly offset by the atmosphere. Â Let me add that prior to eating there this evening I had checked out their web site. Â There is a HUGE DISCONNECT between what is portrayed on the web site and what we found when we got to the restaurant. Â What we found when we entered the establishment is nothing like the web site images. Â When we walked in I felt that the atmosphere was unappealing, and very loud. Â Since this was the case as it was a pleasant summer evening we elected to dine on the patio. Â Smoking is permitted on the patio and this was a huge turnoff. Â A number of the patrons had had too much to drink and course vulgar language was inescapable. Â
Overall this experience was a let down. Â We like to support local businesses and to dine at restaurants that are not part of a chain. Â However, we will not be returning to the Paradise Restaurant. Â It is anything but a paradise!
