Garden of Paradise — Restaurant in Bloomington

First visit because we were intrigued by the reviews. Our experience was not great. The fish sandwich had the thinnest sliver of fish wrapped in a huge hoagie style of bun. I slathered on tartar sauce with the hopes of making the most of it. It didn't work.

Found the fish itself to be entirely flavorless. When the server (Emily C) asked, I gave her the same info. She offered to get more fish, which I refused since it was flavorless. No compensation of any other type was offered. She just walked away.

My wife had the gyro, which she said was so-so, with something being a bit bitter in the sandwich. It was one of the smaller gyros I've seen.

Fries with both sandwiches were bountiful and extremely hot.

Since the management doesn't respond to reviews, my review or anyone else's can only alert future customers - not drive any improvements.

With such a disappointing first visit, and lacksidasic server response along with many other restaurants in the area, I doubt will risk trying it a second time.

Updated review from 3-star to 1-star after paying bill. Was not asked how the meal was by the cashier. My wife noted that he (possibly the manager) had been alerted by our server.

Decision is easy: no need to return to a restaurant that isn't interested in...

Stopped by on 5/1/2025 to get take out after moving my daughter out of her dorm for an easy dinner. The reviews all looked great, especially regarding the Greek style menu. We spent $57.93 for food no one enjoyed and we ended up mostly throwing away. The gyros were awful. One tiny cut up dry pita, with hardly any meat, and flavorless sauce was beyond disappointing. The spanakopita had no flavor. The grilled chicken was dry. The only thing my children ate was the loaded baked potatoes and the steamed broccoli. Most of it went into the trash. I would have gone back for a refund, but we live faw away. A three hour round trip. The place did look very nice, and was very clean. I regret ever walking into the establishment and wasting so much money. Would not recommend, nor would I ever go back. My advice is to stay away. I have no idea how they have so many positive reviews, unless they have family and friends writing them. And the amount of food you get is not worth the cost to begin with. I know this all sounds pretty harsh, but I don't like throwing money away. Sorry for the delay in posting a review, I had a medical emergency which took my mind off it for quite some time. I was so disappointed that I remembered to come back after getting well to write a...

I have been here a few times in the past and have enjoyed. i have to say, i was a little, no... correction, a lot disappointed today. i was there with my 3 little ones for lunch, ordered 3 kids meals and my lunch. We got half way through, and one of my littles had to go to the bathroom. We went to the bathroom (all of us as 3 littles are 5, 3 and almost 2 yrs old), returned to the table to find it was all cleared out. we hadn't even been provided a ticket for our lunch. The shock on the face of my 5 year old was priceless. An offer was made to make a half order of spaghetti, but again, we were all still eating before going to the bathroom and to wait for more food to be made was not my idea of enjoyment with 3 little ones amd doesn't account for the amount of food we were still eating. One of the kids meals was taken off the ticket, but again, left not feeling full from the food we ordered and didn't get a chance to finish. i hadn't even received the ticket before we went to the bathroom or the table being cleared. I may go to the restaurant again, but not with little ones that need escorting to...
