    Paradiso has been our family restaurant for years now. I love the consistency of the food. It's me and hubby's date night place of choice. Not necessarily for ambiance, but good food and good service always trumps ambiance. Even on a busy New Years Eve night,with patrons waiting awhile for their reserved placement, the staff carried off perfect food and service. This review is long overdue. Any establishment can have a bad night, and this one is no exception. But give them a go. You're more likely to have a great meal and service consistently here. You can't loose!

    Thanks for the review, Regina. We're thrilled to have you and your husband choose us for your date nights frequently. Your kind words mean a lot to us and motivate us to keep delivering great meals and service. We look forward to serving you again soon!

    We were there for New Year’s Eve right on time for our reservation. We had to wait a half hour before we were seated as there were no tables turning over. I would rate the food as mediocre. Vegetables very bland, prime rib, a three out of a five rating. Usually this place serves that are quality food, but I believe since it’s a holiday stuff gets pushed out there fast and not as good as it usually is. They try hard to please. Free champagne was offered while we were waiting for our tables.

    Thanks for the review, Pamela, and for your patience. We appreciate you spending New Year's eve with us and we are sorry for the few hiccups that you experienced during the evening. We understand how frustrating it can be to wait for a table, especially when you have a reservation. We regret that you found our food to be mediocre as we always aim to deliver a great experience, and we're disappointed to hear that we fell short during your visit. We appreciate your feedback and will certainly use it to improve. We look forward to another opportunity soon to re-impress you with our food.

    We usually like Paradiso but the new years prix fixe was not a good experience. We were seated right by the door and had a constant cold draft and people by the host stand constantly standing over us. Menu posting also was misleading and implied a wine pairing was included. Food was incredibly slow, an hour between courses 2 and 3. Servers were also constantly bringing food to the wrong table and we had to remind them to bring the initial bite after the first course. Our server was very nice but clearly overwhelmed as she had way too many tables. Think the restaurant clearly overbooked for NYE and it wasn’t a great experience.

    Thanks for the feedback, Adam. We're sorry to hear that your recent visit on such a special evening wasn't up to par. We understand your concerns about the temperature and the proximity of your table. We appreciate your patience with the slower than normal service and apologize for the confusion over the wine pairing, . We're always looking to improve and your feedback is crucial in that process. We're glad to hear that you found our server pleasant and we hope to provide a better experience on your next visit.
