    I ordered from the Christmas menu. I had the lobster bisque (very creamy and delicious), scallop dish (scallops were sweet and tender), and the chocolate lava cake (best ever). This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area.

    Went there to celebrate a birthday. I made sure to specify that in Open Table. The restaurant staff did not acknowledge the birthday. The waitress was ok. Food was bland, at best. For the prices they charge, I would have thought it would have been more seasoned. All in all, I will not go back.

    Had Thanksgiving Day meal and it was exceptional. We enjoyed oysters on the half shell for an appetizer. For the entree, we had prime rib, salmon and turkey. It all tasted excellent. Creme brûlée and pumpkin cheesecake for dessert. Our server was attentive and kind. We will definitely be back.

    Great atttentive service. Good portion size. Swordfish was a thinner piece that I usually see. The waiter had a hard time answering questions about dishes and was wrong. Nice casual place.

    Unfortunately, dinner wasn't as good as usual last night. My drink was watered down to start, and then both my husband's and my dinners were cold. My son's was piping hot, however! It won't deter me from going back, but all in all, it was not our best experience there.

    Oyster night! Half shell, fried … so good. Fish’n’chips, seafood Cobb salad, and steak tacos for the non-pescetarian. All thumbs up! As always the staff were friendly and quite competent. Pro tip: if ordering more than one course (eg, appetizer/entree) order them separately — there is no time-phasing by the kitchen — items come when ordered.

    Our second visit was even better than the initial. Delicious food, outstanding friendly service, quiet and clean restaurant. Family from out of town was also impressed. Highly recommend Ocean Paradise.
