Everything was full-flavored without being too spicy. Creative and beautiful plating, and all the flavors worked really well together. Generous portions and thoughtful service! If we didn't live a few hours away we'd be back weekly! Easy to find free parking nearby.

Paradise park is awesome for a few reasons…the decor is a feast for the eyes—there is so much to see from lights, to disco balls, to little niches here and there…it’s really cool. The fact that they allow dogs is key as we have a needy little terrier that hates being away from us. The drinks are unique (a bit pricey) but also presented in a festive fashion. Food is pretty good, we’ve had a lot of the apps and the pizza and they were above average. Servers and bussing staff were very attentive and the hosts and hostesses are outstanding and friendly. If you want a cool, unique experience I highly recommend PPPP.
