Paradise Cove Bar & Grill (South End Tiki)

Loved the experience

Spent 50 minutes waiting for our order, finally just got fed up and left.

An extremely rude lady who was serving. I was meeting some people at the tiki bar and was just going to carry my bike over to the pontoon boat my friend have parked at the dock.
We had a big group here having lunch and drinks for a couple of hours yesterday, spending a few hundred dollars.
I was interested in getting lunch and some food here, but got told multiple times to leave the property because it is a “private land”. I appreciate that you may own the bar/restaurant and I am a customer wanting to spend real money at your establishment. Perhaps she thought because I was wearing the bike gear I had no money?
As I wanted to take the bike (by hand, light, no issues to any customers) to the pontoon parked up at the dock out the front, she went to me and told me to leave again. My friend was actually already drinking his second drink, again a paying (!!!) customer.
This completely made me not interested in eating here or having any drinks, and I was willing to spend real money here and had some items picked off the menu. Too bad, pretty disappointing. Rude servers.

Unable to judge the food as did not have any, but my group from yesterday did have a good time. So perhaps this was an off day for the establishment/this particular employee.
The vibe was kinda fun, being on the lake, but I didn’t really get to enjoy it as the whole experience was spoilt.

I won’t be coming back.

Fried pre packaged food. Nothing great. Service was nonexistent! Not staffed well and they forgot about our order! Sat waiting for 45min before finally getting our main meals….then they wanted to bring out our appetizer that we ordered when we sat down!
I’d say it’s a run down little spot charging higher prices because they are on the water, but lacking the basics in restaurant management. If you come by boat, watch out for your prop (very shallow) and hope they have a spot for you on the dock!! It’s not professionally done!
Needs to start over and do it right! They could have a great little business!

Fantastic evening with amazing service. We hosted a wedding rehearsal dinner here for 20 people, then opened our party up to other weddings guests for a night-before welcome party, maybe 30 more people! The owners set us up with two specific servers in a dedicated space, the skies cleared, and we and our guests had an amazing time! The bride and groom loved the casual and fun atmosphere. It was the perfect beginning to all the wedding festivities. Thank you to all at Paradise Cove!

Come for the vibes

This place was the best with its old owners, they never should’ve gotten new ones. DO NOT GO HERE. Rude, awful, UNWELCOMING staff. The bartender should be fired. Terrible place; never going back.

This place is a hidden gem! We really enjoyed the beautiful lake atmosphere. The service was great. The staff told us some great jokes! I have Celiac so I was able to eat the shrimp cocktail and a salad. The cocktail sauce was homemade and.delish! My friends enjoyed the ceviche and some other pub favorites. I will definitely be back to see these wonderful people.

Waited about an hour for some dorm room tacos.

Fish tacos are the best! Awesome spot for a boat cruise to grab a beer and a bite.

The best place for a beverage by the Lake in Leelanau County!
