Paradise L.A. Restaurant & Bar

Drinks are strong and the portions are generous! It's a bit of a hike to get here from Los Angeles but if you are local to Torrance o would recommend stopping in....and trying the calamari

They're hidden and a nice location for a private function. They have good space. Great food and awesome and friendly staff. There is tons of parking and its located off the freeway for fast and easy access to and from.

The good is good, plenty of Parking and the ambiance is nice. It gets a little stuffy/smokey because the kitchen is open and near the seating. Nice place for drinks or food with a customer, maybe even a date.

A nice place to have a meal quickly without a reservation. It can be crowded when any type of sport is being televised. Great food at reasonable prices. Various seating options at booths, large tables, or right in front of the large viewing screen. The staff is quick, nice, and efficient.

The food was good. I ordered the New York Steak. It was a good portion, well seasoned. Overall delicious. Their dessert was good, but unimpressive. I ordered a couple of drinks. The cocktail was good. I ordered a spiked coffee which was terrible. I would go here again. My biggest deterrent is that they include a mandatory 18% tip in the bill, despite the fact that we had a party of 2. I understand that policy for large parties, but it seems in bad taste for a party of 2 that required little attention. I tip generously as a rule, but I would much rather be given the choice to do so or not depending on the quality of service. Overall a decent place.
