(Monday) Wife & I plus our 5yr old. We were sat outside on the back patio during the early evening sunset (5:30p). Weather was perfect (last warm day of the year I believe). Crayons and coloring paper kept him busy, and the service seemed fast and correct. Staff all looked presentable and the surf & turf was good. We both added a starch to bulk up the meal as it only came with vegetables. Overall, we ate a perfect time, as the restaurant filled up just as we finished eating and headed out. So overall we had a good memorable dining experience.

We had a wonderful experience! Lovely views from our table on the patio, our server was friendly and answered all of our questions, manager checked on us to make sure we were having a great time. I had the lobster fettuccine and my daughter had the ribs. Every thing was perfect - definitely will be back!

Of the half dozen restaurants on scenic Capitola Esplanade Paradise Grille is one of the top two. They have an extensive menu with plenty of variety, and a good cocktail and wine list. The handful of prized outdoor seats are not comfortable but is right on the Soquel Creek rivers end with photographable views of the beach. Indoor seating is pleasant but noisy. Our server was pleasant and the food was good by tourist dining standards. The bread was stale and my clams were swimming in butter instead of wine broth but still tasty. As locals, this is a place we take out of town guests but not a regular dining spot for us. We recommend parking in the large city lot several blocks away and walking down to the village.

Normally always a first choice for lunch or dinner... love the outside patio, tasty dishes, and overall beach vibe. 4th of July experience however will taint future visits. Unfriendly, rude hostess followed by an ungracious Manager with poor management skills. Hope we lose the bad taste in our mouths so that someday we can come back and enjoy.

This trip was a little disappointing, doubly so as it was my girlfriends birthday. We reserved a table for 5:00 p.m. and were seated outside in the cold away from several heaters that were present. We didn't ask to be outside nor would they accommodate us by seating us inside or near a heater. The food was good but not very enjoyable due to the cold. I had also mentioned the birthday in the reservation hoping they would acknowledge it but they didn't.

The waitress was so nice and the food was amazing I've been there twice, once for my mother's wedding/birthday and twice for a romantic dinner with my boyfriend. The place is unique and lovely. Worth the drive from San Jose to Capitola, would definitely recommend it. 😊

We enjoyed a lovely meal on the patio with a beautiful view of the ocean. The food was quite tasty and the portions more than adequate. Our server was very gracious. The only caveat is that parking is quite limited in that area, and we had to drive a bit to find a place up on a side street, so give yourself time for that.

Nice table we'd reserved one outside and got good seats. The downside? Why have an appetizers menu if you're going to bring them out at the same time as the entrees??? Also cheese on the kids pasta without asking? The word 'dairy allergy' springs to mind. Nice but we'd think twice about going again. $19 starter not a problem, $19 starter as the same time as the entree? Major problem!

It is always better to be at the Paradise Beach Grille on a beautiful day, and then be privileged to sit on the patio, watching the beach and Venetian Court. My companion and I had prawns, she the Coconut Prawns and I the Haleakala Lava Flow Prawns. Both were excellent (we swapped around). As you might guess, the ambience was excellent, and the service was also excellent. A special note for the bar tender, who told us the prior name of the restaurant, Edgewater. Historian of the day!

We had such a lovely meal here. I booked via email with Alexia the manager who came back to me promptly and who was most helpful in assisting with our booking and request. We asked to sit outside on the patio which was lovely. The evening was a bit chilly so we moved around a bit till we found a warm spot under the heat lamps and the staff were most accommodating with this. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We had a lovely view of the creek and it was a really relaxing atmosphere and cosy. The food was delicious and the service excellent. This was a perfect way to end our day especially as the customer service was outstanding, all the staff made us feel so welcome and were so friendly and nice.

Espresso machine broken and the fish special was not! They “forgot” to order it in but it was printed on the Saturday evening specials. $25-30 entrees should have got their ordering right. We were on the deck and the heaters were not strong enough to keep us warm. Despite the gaffs I had a great time with my peeps. It was good but not a home run.
