    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.

    We have dined at Ocean Paradise many times and they always do a good job. We started with the crab guacamole and it was excellent, not too much onion, just enough and the chips are thick enough to hold up without breaking. My wife had the shrimp tacos and she loved them, they were packed with shrimp. I ordered the seafood grill which was 3 shrimp, 3 scallops and a nice piece of salmon. I subbed in the country mashed potatoes for the rice and added mixed vegetables. Everything was very good, cooked well and very tasty. The service was good and the noise level was fine. I definitely recommend Ocean Paradise.
