    Popped in for an early dinner on a beautiful summer evening, and we were immediately transported to a beautiful tropical paradise. We kicked it off with a nice rosé and a martini from their solid cocktail and wines by the glass list. We tasted our way through the innovative Chef's menu and enjoyed a couple of wines that were delicious with our selections. Starting with the edible work of art oyster, perfect crudo, tender lamb & flavorful oro king salmon down to one of my fav desserts, a blood orange panna cotta with a divine shortbread ...Every single bite was fabulous and so was the attentive service. Cannot wait for an excuse to return.

    I love that La Jolla has another solid high-end fine dining option and Paradisaea did not disappoint. The service and restaurant was top-notch and beautiful. The food was very fresh both physically and idealistically. My favorite things were probably the desserts and the cocktails. They were all very innovative and different from everything I see out there. I have had a lot of desserts in my life but The Whaler managed to surprise me. It was my highlight, so good! Above all of that... Paradisaea is definitely a high end restaurant but the warmth that the staff brought was very welcoming. We brought our two year old with us and they couldn't be more accommodating. Not suggesting you do the same, it was a crazy circumstance. Patrick, the manager, went above and beyond to make us and our son feel very welcome. We could not have enjoyed our experience more.

    So worth it. What a great spot, and actually feel like authentic San Diego, which is getting harder to define these days. But an honest, well executed, destination restaurant that La Jolla should cherish and embrace. Ok so what did we eat? Apps - [ ] Shrimp; skewered with the heads on. Pull the head off, suck the brains, enjoy meat. Delicious - [ ] Mushroom croquette; more like Marsala gravy and deep fried like a mozzarella stick, really good, served with a green sauce - [ ] Tuna trataré; wow, jaw dropping, excellent little rye toasties - [ ] Crudo; fresh as it comes in SD Entrees - [ ] Pork chop; I love pork chops. This one was elevated. It was so fatty, definitely a chop, but as tender as pork belly. Asked for medium, was medium. Yes you can enjoy pork at medium temp. And I love when a place can serve it medium. They rest it, and cut it so you don't miss any juice. Also give you the rib bone to chow on after you eat the portion with a fork and knife like a civilized person. Come with a shredded power dumpling too which was phenomenal. Special mustard and balsamic. Overall impressive pork chop - [ ] Veal tenderloin; had one bite of my friends's dish but could tell it is superb The menu is unique and has offering that other restaurants don't so it makes it exclusive and a treat. The ambiance would meet anyone's standards. Well though out design, but doesn't rely on this element alone. The food speaks. The service is spot on. They were all so young but authentic and enthused to work there. Future leaders anywhere they choose create a path. Spot on ParadiseaSD. Spot on It has a Michelin rating. 'Nuf said #supportSanDiego

    Had happy hour today and the service was impeccable! The modern design is perfect and it was clean and ready for guests at 4pm. The jamon croquettes were bland and they were out of caviar! The oysters were amazing! I would order 2 next time! The halibut tempura was exceptional. I will be back!
