Excellent food and service! A great find. The quality was top notch, family owned and operated. Highly recommend this restaurant. I had the paella, delicious! Generous serving. Husband had the wild cod, served his way and it was also very good. Desserts are homemade in-house. Servers are helpful and provide useful suggestions. We asked for suggestions and our server appreciated the opportunity to help. The atmosphere is basic, strip shopping center eatery but the food is well worth it. We will definitely go back!!!
Our food was pretty good and the waitress was super friendly. The menu has a wide variety of options. Overall a solid four but the restaurant is super noisy which was unfortunate. Hard wooden floors and not much hanging from the walls to absorb noise. The party next to us moved outside to get away from it.
Our food was excellent. The scallops with lemon caper cream sauce were wonderful. We also really enjoyed the fried calamari. Everything was extremely fresh, cooked perfectly, and served promptly. I tried one of their seasonal drinks as well, and it was very good. Desserts were also fantastic. As other reviewers consistently mentioned, the service here is also fantastic. Can't recommend this place enough.
Our waitress was great as was the bartender (had an excellent smokey Old Fashion). The food was very good and at a fair price point.
Our second time visiting. Food was delicious and our server Jose was very nice, polite and attentive to us. We will be back!!!
The bouillabaisse was outstanding as was the crem Broulee. Our waitress, Michelle, was great.
Had dinner for a girls night out and food was okay. The menu was pretty extensive and would go back to try other items. The restaurant is on the small side and when it gets busy, noise level increases and the tables were positioned close to each other. Cocktail prices were pretty steep for what was offered, ranging from $12-$29. Im a believer that a drink shouldn't cost the same as an entree.
This is a little out of the way, family owned restaurant, that boasts some of the freshest and most flavorful seafood that I’ve ever had. Do yourself a favor , go and find paradise ❣️
My friends and I were very impressed with this restaurant. They are very accommodating, for example, in meeting the customer's specific dietary requirements, and in splitting the check - the waitress who served us was excellent, we were really pleased with our experience. The food was amazing, we enjoyed their desserts as well! We will definitely go back. They have Sunday brunches and will surely check that out in the future.
This restaurant is an absolute delight in culinary experience. The seafood is delicious and presented in a great visual manner. Service was wonderful. Chris was meticulous with all aspects of our meal but didn't hover over us. I definitely would recommend this place. Prices are a bit up there but I think they are worth it.

Stopped by this seafood place for Father's Day and was really impressed. The soup hit the spot, warm, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. Even though they had a full house, the staff made time for us and didn’t miss a beat. It’s not easy to juggle that kind of crowd and still be helpful, but they pulled it off. It's definitely worth checking out.
Sunday early afternoon lunch. We were greeted by a friendly staff member who checked us in for our reservations that were very user friendly to access, confirm, and change online. We were able to change easily our reservation time online due to last minute unexpected circumstances. The restaurant is located in a small outdoor mall with diverse retail stores. It is not part of a national chain, and appeared to be a local establishment. The menu is robust and extensive with many varieties of fish, shellfish, cooking styles and sauces. The staff was willing to provide small garden salad not on the menu. The appetizers, cocktails, and main courses were presented quickly. The softshell, crabs, calamari, french fries, and tilapia were fried to perfection. Our fried fish and soft shelled crabs came out hot, crispy, and non-greasy. The waiter was very attentive and checked back with us several times to ensure our satisfaction with our meals and the service. All in all, the dining experience was very pleasant. The food was well prepared and the service, outstanding and friendly. We look forward to dining again at the Ocean Paradise Restaurant and Bar.
Food was excellent, waitstaff was wonderful. Our only complaint concerned the seats. They were too low for the table height, or the table was set too high. This seemed to be the case with all the tables/seats.
Our kids took us to this restaurant for Father’s Day and had a wonderful dining experience. Food was super delicious, staff was friendly and service was great! I had yellowfin tuna that was cooked to perfection. Crab cake was lumpy and tasty. We are definitely going back to try their other dishes.
Small compact restaurant. The food was great. Organizing the servers was not. When we eventually got a server, she was very nice. It just seemed like they overbooked given it was Father's Day. However, I would still go back because of the quality of the food.
