Always enjoyed the cocktails and wine list, but dining is another special treat at Paradise Grille. Something for everyone, and a good location for meeting locals, Happy hour is very popular.

This little culinary secret is off the 5 freeway at Rancho Santa Fe, on the Del Mar border. The food is very good and the ambiance is pleasant. The garlic fries are delicious. Have never had a better burger than at this restaurant. Very close to the Del Mar Race Track.

The Paradise offers a great menu of appetizers: firecracker shrimp, macadamia nut dusted calamari, ahi poke crisps, lovely salads, brick oven pizza, and a variety of burgers, fish, chicken, meat and pasta dishes. We love to sit at both bars and outside...servers are friendly and non-fussy. They offer a great happy hour with many martini and wine selections.

We ate Thanksgiving dinner at the Paradise Grille and had a wonderful experience. There were 9 adults, an infant and a toddler eating at 4:00 pm. Our table in the courtyard was very comfortable. Our server, Tanya, was a true professional and was very attentive. The owner, Conner, made us feel like one of his family. Teddy, the bar manager,... More

I had a very pleasant experience at the Paradise Grille. Our party of four was seated outside in a very pleasant courtyard. The waiter was attentive and the food was very good. We had a wide range of entrees, and everything from the filet mignon to the burger had a nice presentation. I would definitely take my out of town... More

I don't know what the other reviewers on are on, but I sure would like some of that. The service was terrible. Food was good, but our server was rude and ignored our dinner party. Don't go here if you want to have a pleasant dinner experience. Even McDonalds has better service than this snobby restaurant.
