Location and view: 5 stars Service: 4.5 stars Food variety: 4.5 stars Food quality: 4.5 stars

Made a reservation months in advance for lunch here on a weekday and was very impressed with the location on the 46th floor of breeze Xinyi with spectacular 101 views. You get assigned a table bases on your reservation order so you can't exactly request for a romantic table with a specific view. But even the sides without 101 has great views of Taipei city so you can't really go wrong. The buffet is kind of spread out so it takes a while to get food and come back to your table. Everything was a solid B+ but I think the quality and tastiness is not as good as Latest Recipe at the Le Meridien down the street. It does have Heineken beer on tap and several cocktails and a nice cafe with customizable coffee which is great. Lunch is not too rushed with 2.5 hours from 11:30-2pm. Afternoon tea is 2 hours and a bit cheaper. We were told that the difference between weekday lunch and afternoon tea is minimal, with the exception of the abalone congee and some kind of crab which I did not have either. Dinner has their famous seared scallops and some other good stuff and it is 4 hours so you can enjoy the sunset and the view with a nice cocktail. Of course credit cards are accepted. A weekday lunch for two is about $100 USD. It's kind of like a Vegas buffet but the view is worth more than the food. Nothing to complain about for the food, sashimi was satisfactory, handrolls were nice. Fries tempura was good but not as good as ShinYeh japanese buffet. Drinks were nice and the desserts were okay. The table side servixe for the souffle was nice but not necessary. Nothing really stood out except all the beef dishes were blah. (Maybe overcooked? Not good if youve had nice American steak before, maybe good for taiwan I don't know) InParadise is a mix of western, chinese, and japanese food so the variety is good if you like choices. Haagen daaz ice cream is good but trust me you won't have any stomach space for it.
