   We enjoyed dinner on the outside patio. They had heaters set up to keep it warm. We enjoyed the seafood pasta and red snapper special. The key lime pie for dessert was excellent! Our server was very friendly and gave good recommendations.

   We love the village and Capitola!!! We used to make semi regular visits to Paradise grill. Unfortunately, the last couple of times have been a disappointment. The food is just ok. Service is friendly. Hope to see this place continue and grow.

   We’ve been here many times over the last twenty five years, but it’s been 3 years+ since our last visit. We lived in Capitola and now in Live Oak, so we are locals. Last Friday we sat at a table in the dining area. We were the only people in that section at first. The server was there quickly, and he got our drink orders. Then our food order. He was friendly enough. After that, service was extremely minimal and slow. We had a three course dinner from their Santa Cruz Restaurant Week menu. Slow to bring each course with at least ten minutes between finishing each courses. Full time there from ordering our drinks to serving us desert was about 90 minutes. Two or three visits by our server during our meal. During that time, only one other table with party of three was seated, so couldn’t understand the delay. The food was decent enough. Drinks, although expensive were also OK, although it’s hard to mess up wine and Jack and Coke. No longer impressed by the Grill. Suggest having a happy hour/burger night as in the past, or perhaps a locals menu. As it is, we won’t be back.

   The food was bland and mediocre. We expected better. The halibut was cooked in a water downed tomato sauce with a dash of what tasted like ketchup and was sweet. I would stay away from this dish. The steamed spinach was dry and crispy with no flavor. The mashed potatoes didn't get touched because I decided I no longer could eat it. It wasn't even hot enough either. It was a big disappoint for us.

    Food was subpar, best to stick with burgers and fries.
