3 years ago I had a bad meal here but I have had much better experiences since. The bartenders do a very good job with their drinks. The conch fritters, seared tuna salad, French fries, fish tacos all done well. However their cheeseburger was very...small with a mediocre bun and a very small serving of onion rings. The servers consistently are friendly and do a great job. We like to stop here at the end of our bike rides and there is a great outdoor area even though the view is a parking lot. They do have decent musicians and its just a fun placeMore

Very busy night, we called ahead Not a long wait the place was full but service was prompt and friendly

This was the best fish we’ve had in the Venice/ Nokomis area all week. The service was superb: attentive, accurate and well informed. The outdoor seating area was pleasant and not too crowded. Order the Fresh catch specials and ask for Dennis . Mask rating=0

Restaurant at the jetty was an hour plus wait for seating, Paradise had empty tables. So…we were forewarned. Server was friendly and sounded knowledgeable about the offerings. The kitchen wasn’t so good. We were brought 2 of 2 wrong dishes, then, after a(bother) unusually lengthy...wait, we were served the dishes we had ordered. One of the two had been sitting around and was cold. After all that, neither was very good. No point getting upset, but we aren’t going back, either. Used to be good here, no longer.More

Great outdoor seating area and atmosphere. We were there on a Saturday around 1 pm and it was not real crowded. We had the ham pineapple flatbread , calamari and house chips. The sauce with the chips was unusual but really complimented the chips. The...Thai chili sauce with the calamari was a spicy touch. Calamari nothing special. Flatbread was a bit overcooked . Cheese was dark and all the pineapple was in middle and cold like it was added after it was cooked. I almost sent it back.More

I had not been here in about a year, but was glad that the gal in charge of this group chose this place to meet today. I do believe we were about 20 women there, and a good time was had by all. Lots of...laughter and fun. I had some Cabernet to start, then ordered the FISH & CHIPS DINNER. While I thought the fish had too much breading, the fries were just HEAVENLY. Jenny was a thoughtful waitress and certainly had her hands full with this group. I DO RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!More

We ate inside. The sweater was not a purple person - but our server was very good and pleasant. Food was good - I had fish and chips.

The bartender, Sonja, was very personable and attentive. Very pleasant visit. Good selection of food. Had the Ahi tuna nachos, was good. Will return.

My husband and I come to Nokomis beach almost every Friday. We drove right past Paradise but never stopped bc my husband is picky of eating outside in a parking lot with other vehicles right there. We like to try different restaurants and had a...not so good experience at another restaurant close by, so we thought “what the heck let’s try it, it has great reviews.” So we did. We thought we’d have a long wait so we went to the bar and before our drinks were able to be made we were seated outside at our request. The DJ was great! Watching the people dance was fun. We didn’t get home until 11:30 we had so much fun and the food was excellent. The only bad thing was as we feared, a motorcycle that we saw drive up on the sidewalk near us (and other outdoor tables) and parked the bike on the sidewalk, when they left he kicked in the exhaust and the gas and fumes smell was overloaded to all those sitting there. It was SO Rude of him to show off his bike like that with no consideration of those near by eating and drinking. I do wish the management wouldn’t allow bike Peking up on the sidewalk right next to the outdoor tables. We did go back and had another great evening without exhaust fumes.More

The eggs Benedict was fabulous and they also make their own mix for bloody Mary’s. Great location convenient to Publix minutes from the beach. They also had a classic car show during our visit. Awesome

A new favorite! Great service, atmosphere, prices, service, music! The ceviche was excellent and a generous appetizer. Fish tacos with Mexican slaw is now a new favorite. Will definitely be back next time we are in the area
