    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.

    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.
    Ocean Paradise Restaurant & BarResponded on June 21, 2025
    Thank you so much for your visit and for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly glad to hear you enjoyed the food and had a positive experience with your server. We sincerely apologize for the delay in service. Father's Day was an exceptionally busy day for us, and unfortunately, we were short-staffed.

    Our first time visiting. Went there for Father’s Day. Food service was great and food was delicious. A bit loud since it is an open concept restaurant.

    We been there before and again everything was excellent. Service was great. They have good runners which is always a plus. The grilled Bronzino was exceptional. I had the Father’s Day special with lobster tail, scallops and shrimp. It was very good

    We got there and it was quiet, became very noisy about 30 minutes in. Food was amazing, wine was a little more than table wine at premium prices. Overall, a great experience. Waiter was very good too.

    Fresh seafood, beautifully cooked - Ocean Paradise never disappoints. Michelle, our server, was attentive but not intrusive and made the experience so enjoyable! This is my 5th or 6th visit and I'll keep coming back!
