    A restaurant we have visited in the past and decided to revisit when in the area with friends after Tuesday Bible study. Arrived about 11:20 AM and were seated right away. Brought drinks and menus to glance over. One of the specials for the day was Baby Greek Salad and 1/2 Spanakopita. That looked great so my wife, our friend and myself all ordered it. We chatted for a little bit and our plates arrived. The "Baby" Greek Salad was no baby. I immediately went for the Spinach Pie, warm and crispy and wonderful, fluffy with a good amount of filling. Everyone loved it. The Greek salad was great, loaded with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, olives, peppers and Feta over a portion of Potato Salad. Also great, but a good amount. So we all had leftovers to carry home. There were plenty of customers enjoying Brunch, but no overflow, probably why the nice shaded patio was closed. No matter it was cool inside. Decorations were great, reminding us of a trip we took to a small Greek island. They also have a great selection of desserts, hard to pass up, but we did. Great food, great service, great atmosphere, couldn't be better.

    Cruising through Saftey Harbor looking for food, we decided this looked like a good spot to grab a late breakfast which is served until 2:pm. We were greeted by 2 people immediately and was told to sit anywhere we wanted. We proceeded to sit outside but that area was off limits for that day although our waitress said that she would've been more than happy to go out and serve us outside. :) We decided to follow the rules as the weekend was still young. We decided to start our meal with Bloody Mary's and for our meal, I ordered an Irish omelette with toast which I slathered up with butter and jelly plus home fries and my wife ordered a Meat Lovers skillet. Everything was perfect and our waitress Sonya was super sweet and attentive. The inside is very much like a diner. We will definitely be back!

    We got here around 0800 or so. Only two other people and a group of 4 or 5 local hose monkeys in for breakfast. So I knew not what to expect given how quiet it was. We sat ourselves down, as the sign near the front entrance indicates. Waitress shows up right behind us with a couple of menus and asks for our beverage order. She then proceeds to hover over us waiting at the service station right across from our little booth. We both find it a bit annoying and as soon as QB puts the menu down in swoops Server Lady like a buzzard on a dead cat. Queen Bee has two eggs over medium with bacon and wheat toast. I opt for country fried steak and two scrambled eggs. Their home fries and rye toast on the side for me. Oh: did you know they make their own corned beef hash?? Had to try that! Both our respective egg orders were quite well prepared as was her bacon. Steak patty was so laden under cream gravy that I wondered if the Edmund Fitzgerald hid beneath that ponderous puddle! Home fries were nothing to write home about. I like them crisp with onion. These didn't quite live up to the crisp part of the bargain. Since we were practically alone at the moment, I don't see why the kitchen screwed this pooch. Same can be said for the toast...I'd seen a couple of other Yelpers mention stale toast; I concur. Very dry and old tasting bread. Change how you store the bread, Ben...Yuck! Corned beef hash was actually tasty and not from a can of Sysco Slop. Actual slices of corned beef (as for a sandwich), diced alongside home fries with onion and green pepper chunks all mixed together and grilled on flattop. I say this because the plate of it was huge! I didn't think a $6 side of the stuff would be any huge thing. Guess what? I got lunch for both of us sitting in the fridge now! Server Lady checked on us once and then brought a box with the bill. I showed her the Yelp 10% discount screen on my phone. "Uh: how do I do that?" So she runs off and then comes back saying that "the boss doesn't know how to do it either." She knocked off the 10% somehow, which was nice. Some staff training would have elevated this outing to 4 stars perhaps. All I'd say is that if they expect to be better on their breakfast game, there are a few basics they totally need to fix. I've already outlined them in my observations above. We normally go to Acropol Inn for breakfast but they don't open until 0900. Sigh...I am willing to try other stuff here; I'm just not in a hurry to do so. Paradise Lost, to channel the words of Milton.

    Four of us ventured to Paradise Restaurant for dinner this evening. We'd heard they do a mean breakfast. The waitress came to take our orders & said we couldn't order breakfast food for dinner. Lol. So we examined the menu again. I ordered a patty melt. The food came fairly quickly & was cooked correctly. Unfortunately the food was fairly unremarkable. I really have to say it was very, very average. There was no seasoning or anything. It was basically a burger with cheese melted on it & some diced onions. The potato salad too was lacking flavor. The meals everyone else ordered seemed to fit into the category of just being average. Paradise does get credit for seeming to be very clean inside, & the waitress was pleasant enough.

    Average dinner. Nothing wrong with this place just nothing special. We ordered breakfast and it was under seasoned and pretty bland. Great locations in downtown Safety Harbor. This place is usually crowded and a good spot to meet for breakfast, but don't expect a meal that will wow you. Recommend sitting outside and eating with a good groups of friends or family.

    The corned beef is out of this world! The Reuben is only different because of the sauerkraut and the bread, but delicious nonetheless. This diner is a must if you're in beautiful downtown S.H.

    Oatmeal with nuts & blueberries. Breakfast under $5.

He drove all the way home before we realized it, so we immediately called the restaurant. They asked if we wanted our money back, but this was our family's dinner, so we had no choice but to make a second trip and pick up the correct food. The manager promised us free dessert and hummus as an apology. When my husband arrived, not only did they fail to give him the items they promised, but the replacement food was clearly the original order that had been sitting out the entire time--cold fries, cold entrée, and all-around disappointing. I called to speak with the manager. A man who identified himself as David put me on hold for five minutes, then returned to say the manager was not there. I left my number and asked for a call back. No one ever called. Between the incorrect order, the broken promises, the cold food, and the lack of any follow-up, the service here was unacceptable. We won't be returning, and I strongly suggest the district manager take a close look at how this location is being run. This was an all-around terrible experience.

I figured you can't go wrong with Greek and this place got high marks on Yelp so I thought I would give it a try. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. They were patient with all of my questions and special requests. I got the salad and soup combo. I was able to upgrade my soup to a larger size and then I was able to get a side of charbroiled chicken to add to my salad. They were also able to put the potato salad and olive on the side so my friend dining with me could have those things that I didn't want. The charbroiled chicken was fantastic. I really should have got another one. I'm still having dreams about that chicken and chasing that chicken hide. The music was a little loud when we first got in and I thought we'd have to sit outside to have a conversation, but luckily it wasn't too bad. It was just that one particular song. I do wish they had Coke products instead of Pepsi but it's not worth taking off a star for. All in all I would gladly eat here again and maybe next time get two chickens instead of one.
