Basically I read the "review" and thought more poorly of the reviewer than the restaurant - some of the comments were quite odd IMO and made me think they didn't really know what they had ordered or what was typical in a fine dining restaurant.

( I have lived in this area 35+years and I've seen restaurants come and go. Some of the best didn't make it and some of the worst are still around. No restaurant in this area has ever been closed (or even affected) by a negative review (in particular those posted anonymously online) . Reviews of restaurants in this area just don't have the power to make or break a restaurant.)
SO TRUE! Restaurants will thrive or not based on so many variables...the least of which is a negative blog or two. Obviously we all wish Paridis well and any other locally owned 30A restaurant. Haven't
been yet but looking forward to it. "White cloth" is tough in this environment and presents a unique
set of challenges in regards to expectations. Its a challenging business...but a blessing if it all comes together. I love restaurant owners (am married to one
....out of the box thinkers, creative, high energy. Congrats on your opening, we're glad you're here and we wish you the best, Paridis....we'll
be in soon!

Paradis is great!
I have eaten at Paradis 3 times and had 3 great meals there. The place is very well designed, the service is excellent and the owners a delight. 3 meals, 3 thumbs up. My wife and I consider ourselves regulars already.

You get a negative review on SoWal you better tighten up. Luckily, a few diners followed up with positive reviews. $250 seems steep. How many people were eating I wonder?
$250 tab
The menu prices at Paradis are totally in line with other area fine dining establishments. I'm guessing this $250 tab quoted by the unhappy diner involved substantial wine/cocktails. If you want Chili's prices, you're gonna have to go to Chili's. And let's remember, this was ONE negative review out of many many positive reviews. Anyone who's worked in the restaurant industry knows there are people who are determined to have a bad experience no matter what, and they always do!

Very true. If they are critiquing Mother Teresa we don't stand a chance. The review does seem odd. I look forward to trying the place out.
