Paradise Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Florida

This place denies water and service to service dogs. Very rude female Server (wish I had known her name) my husband and I stopped by with our 2 service dogs on August ,4th 2023 at 8pm for dinner. As soon as we enter and sit at a table outside one of the female server comes upto us and does not even ask if they are service animals and she strait up says no dogs allowed leave and the kitchen is closed. We were just shocked by the rude behaviour of hers. We have been to plenty of places to eat with our service dogs where pets are not allowed but all the restuarants ask us are they service dogs and when we say yes they always have alowed us in restaurants and we are treated with all respect and our service dogs are treated well too. But this place and the server is something else did not ask if they were service dogs just staright up said leave not all were bad in there, the bar tender she was sweet ahe offered some water to them when my husband went in to get some drinks. Both my service animals were tired after playing in the water and just wanted to sit and drink some water. One of our dog pucked as he was tired, which my husband and me cleaned it immeditely with water and towels. The server comes up to me and says we have to ask you to leave, I was dissapointed and mad and told her both are serive animals and we have the Id, but still she kept going oh he pucked you have to leave. I again told her they are service animals are you still going to kick us out and she walked away. Even people around us were very suprised to see the treatment the server gave us. Both our dogs out of which one is 3 year old is a fully trained and certified service dog and the second one who is just 9months is under works of a service dog training also has a training batch for service dog. None of our dogs caused any disturbance, both sat down quietly were leashed and in full controll as per ADA satandards still the server mistreated us. She also went around asking people and istigating them to say we and our dogs were trobling them. But the people sitting around said they were good and we and our dogs are not troubling them at all. When she did find anything she got reason of our dog throwing up and that too it was just some salt water he thre up which we even cleaned. They litelly denined service to service dogs and denied water go service animals. The server was inhuman and very disredpectful. Its was sad that some people are so inhuman. Very bad experience. Servers need to be trained and learn how to repect people with service dogs and not ask them to leave. Learn the...

Great spot, with really good bar food. This hidden gem is a locals hang out with one of the best locations. Tucked away near the sound with a long pier and sandy beach with lots of tables and chairs it's a beach lovers paradise. We came in February and the main bar area had the flaps down to help keep out the wind but still charming. Service was good as well with bar service and back of house speed and accuracy. I cant remember our servers name but she was very friendly and helpful. We'll definitely be going back.

Updated February 2023 We stopped in for lunch and found Paradise just as accommodating as before. Service still good, maybe a little slower due to number of servers but still good and they told us we apologize we are running short staff today. But all in all they did a good job and food was delicious as usual. Today was mullet special day and while it looked delicous I opted for the rueben and it was quite good. The potato salad was heavy on the mayo but the sandwich was good. Our shrimp platter was more than we could handle but the shrimp was fried well and the fries were unbelievable. Crispy on the outside and like mashed potato on the inside.

Updated August 2025 Still cool vibe and great service. Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and found them busy but not packed. Lindsey behind the bar was friendly and helpful. I had the flounder Poboy and it was perfect. The fun was soft on the outside and lightly toasted and butter on the inside. The flounder was cooked perfectly and nestled inside the buns with tomatoes, onions and lettuce serve with some tartar sauce on the side and the coleslaw. Perfection. Specials: Thursday is mullet day and “get here early”.

Kitchen is not open on Monday’s but beer is still cold!!

We will definitely be going back...

Boated in with my dog, and had never been before despite living right across the bay. Go in and hang out for 15 minutes on the beach while my wife goes to get us drinks and get told to leave because I have a dog (leashed, laying in the sand minding his own business on the beach not bothering a soul). I told the waitress not a problem, but VERY POLITELY say that they should really post this policy on the dock entrance so people like me don’t get confused. I totally understand no dogs inside, but in MOST places in the area they’re welcome to hang out with you outdoors. She says, I KID YOU NOT “well it might be on one of those signs over there.” and points at the dock. I say “no, it absolutely is not on one of those signs. I read the signs before I docked my boat, because I wouldn’t have docked and come in if it were posted and we could have avoided this whole interaction.” She gets huffy and just tells me to leave, rudely kicks me out in front of a bunch of other guests who honestly look a little confused and distressed. Thats fine. My, and the NINE people with me hop on the boat and head back out. Hope you had a great afternoon missing out on a hungry thirsty 10 top while you’re at about 10% capacity.

I can only conclude that the only thing keeping this place in business is the location and cheap booze. The vibe was pretty...
