Paradise Café

Nah. Go somewhere else. The seafood buffet has some interesting, if pedestrian offerings. If you must go, please remember your NASCAR gear.

This location has moved and changed names. It is now called Sid’s Café and is in the casino.

This place’s food reminds me of the chow hall on base when I’m deployed in the Middle East– it’s processed to hell.
Here’s what my friends had. Burger– patty is pre-​formed frozen goodness, the kind with a distinct clover leaf shape and sold in bulk. $ 15. Quesadilla isn’t even a tortilla! They use the same pre-​packaged stuff you make the wraps out of. $ 15. A friend got the fish and chips, which were «okay.»
I feel like for a price tag like this you should be able to do a little bit better– went to SLS’ pancake restaurant for cheaper with fresher food in huge portions.
The server left me salty too– I wasn’t very hungry and just wanted a kids meal. He told me that he couldn’t let me unless I had a doctor’s note?! Alright look, I don’t know what kind of operation is being ran here, but I used to let people whenever they asked when I waited tables. Because I’m a belligerent, resilient asshole, I just got a coffee and didn’t eat, though my friends did.
Please don’t stop to collect $ 200 here.
Just keep walking.

Skip breakfast — the décor matches the food quality: tired, bland, outdated and overall sense of not trying. Meals are overpriced and menu is very limited.

*Update* Replaced with Sid’s Café
Just another place on my trip to Vegas where I realized that many of the restaurants here are distinctly mediocre to below average especially when you account for what you are paying. I guess I’m just cheap and should have gone to nicer places although I stopped here out of convenience only.
Service was actually decent during a busy lunch rush but like the two star rating describes on Unilocal the food was simply «meh».

Excellent service one morning (Sitting at the bar), Pretty good service one day and pretty bad service another. Breakfast food is decent, their french toast is pretty great. I also had their omelette which was A-​OK and their club sandwich was pretty good too.

Just bad, all bad.
The food, bad.
The ambiance, bad.
The service, bad.
Price, very bad for what you get.
Dear LVH, please scrap this restaurant and start again.

Look, it is a low-​end Denny’s located on the 1^st floor of the Las Vegas hotel. When you’re hung over, it isn’t bad.
$ 14 omelets, $ 3.25 coffee.

The winds of St. Patty’s day blew me and my mom to Fremont Street where quilts ruled the scene and rock bands/​irish groups were playing alongside each other… all at the same time. When lunch time rolled in, we thought we’d give one of the hotel lunch specials a shot.
Our random pick turned out to be Paradise Café which highlighted corned beef with cabbage (is this an irish dish?) and that day, some kalbee beef steak with kimchi on the side. Unfamiliar with the former, I stuck with the Korean option.
Although the place — which shares the buffet area — is pretty dimly lit, I had fun pointing out the 70s-​esque design with mommy. Very vintage setting, even the booth seats were old. However, Mommy wasn’t particularly impressed with the super low ceilings (true, not a place for claustrophobics) & the fact that our server rushed us to pay up because her shift was ending. (I didn’t take malice in that until I got a second and third opinion. Mm)
I would still come back for the food though. Maybe? Maybe.

I was here for an expo at the convention center and had time to grab a quick bite to eat before the expo opened.
I thought this was a pretty decent place. Overall it gives off a diner theme and that is what I expected and received.
We got seated right away, and our waitress came gave us the menus and the options looked pretty good. I had the «Tahitian infused Belgian Waffle» with apple capote, and I enjoyed my meal. The waffle was decent size, had a hint of vanilla that made it even more tasty, the apple capote as a topping was just okay. I am not sure what Tahitian infused means in-​terms of a Belgian waffle but I ate my meal and was pleased with it.
I know many Unilocalers have complained about the service, but per my visit I thought the service was good.
If you want a typical American breakfast, you won’t go wrong with this place, if you want more I would suggest looking elsewhere.

Horrible, poor service.
My boyfriend and I stayed at the LVH for two nights due to my dance competition. Our second morning, we decided to grab breakfast downstairs and found this place.
We were seated immediately, and given menus. We take a quick look and decide instantly since we were both starving. We wait… and wait. Finally someone comes to our table, «would you like anything to drink?» We both declined since he had his bottle of water and I had already bought my coffee from seattle’s best, so she replies «no?» then walks away and goes to another table. WHAT THE?! Um, hello?! We were ready to order!
So we wait… and we wait… and finally someone comes to take our order. Our food comes, great. As soon as we drops off our food, she asks if we need anything and we needed a new bottle of ketchup so she gets that for us. But after dropping off our food, no one bothered to ask how we were doing, or if we needed anything. I was done with my coffee and really wanted some water but we couldn’t run anyone down. We were done eating and were still waiting for someone to come check on us so that we could also get our check.
I couldn’t wait any longer because I had to prepare for my competition, so my boyfriend let me go and stayed to wait for our server and the check. I didn’t see him ’til half an hour later — that can only tell you so much about their service.
And coming from a waitress myself, I am SO disappointed with their service!

We were sat.
This waitress came breathing heavily, asked us if we wanted anything to drink. After responding no she retorted «OKAY», slapped napkins AND STRAWS on our table and with her hand still on the table turned around and asked another table if they wanted drinks.
Another waitress came about 5 minutes later, took our order and left.
Maybe 10 minutes later our food came. We ate. Nobody ONCE came to check on us. NOT ONCE. I waited 20 minutes AFTER finishing my food for someone to come by.
A busser walked by and I asked for our bill — he said «I’m not your waitress» and left. Never even walked by me again.
Absolutely DISGUSTING service.

Having relatives with a time share at the Grand Hiltons, you’re bound to end up having a meal at a Paradise Café.
This one being at the Convention Center Hilton, they remind me of a tropical style Coco’s.
Got myself a breakfast plate that came with toast, two eggs, hash browns and bacon. Filling and decent, although the eggs were pretty over cooked.
Got overcharged on my bill, so double check it!!!

My how the mighty have fallen. My wife and I use to come here several times a month back in 2003 – 2004. Service was so, so and good was decent.
Fast forward to now, this place is a dump, if you can find it open. I mean, you can still get decent eggs and bacon, but it’s hard to screw that up, right? Order anything else and you put yourself at risk.
Hell, just to find the place open you’re lucky.
Let’s put it this way, if you DO find this place open, eat here and go to bed, it will be the best luck you have all night

I’m not sure if this place deserves 1 or 2(because i feel bad for this place-​it sucks!)stars. I got 6 whites and 1 full egg scrambled all together! I got raped, seriously when I got my bill. $ 25! For 7 freaking egg white! Actually, I asked for 6 egg whites and 1 full egg (which means-​HELLO! I WANT THE GOSH DAMN YOLK!) To that of which I did not Get! At least give me a fake drink umbrella or throw on some dried out cilantro to make them look festive.
Ugh, I wanna write bad things about this restaurant but its not worth it. Probably because I feel so dumb paying for it and not asking why the charge is so high!
And to make matters even worse! I gave them a $ 2 tip! Is that stupid or stupider?
Gordon Ramsey, this pathetic restaurant needs you!

Well, it isn’t paradise.
Bland mac and cheese, so bland, that a full bite couldn’t be choked down.
Matzah ball soup — flavorful enough.
I wouldn’t make a trip to the LVH just for this restaurant. In fact, if other restaurants in LVH were open at 9pm, I wouldn’t have chosen to dine here, either.
But, I did hear they have a good breakfast.

On Unilocal there are 5 – 6 Paradise restaurants in Vegas. Which one is the original? Who cares?! :) I came to this one as the only place you pass from the Monorail to the trade show conference down the hall is the Foruna coffee and wine place. The only thing fortunate was to avoid its yucky looking pastries.
U-​turn back and keep right instead of heading back to the Monorail and you will hit Paradise. I sat at the bar and stared at the hazy looking brownish restaurant. It felt like Canter’s in L.A. (which is one of the oldest in the city!?)
Service wasn’t great here. One lady gave me a menu; then she gave me the takeout menu (clearly marked with the gouging 18% gratuity added.) Then another lady came and took my order. I ordered the healthy option. Water/​Joke. Oatmeal with dried cherries and coffee. It came in a neat recycled cardboard holder with 2 cups (coffee and oatmeal) and 3 little containers. Milk for the oatmeal but I used it for the coffee; 2 brown sugars. Stirring the oatmeal there was no sign of the cherries so I checked the gouging menu and then asked waitress #1 where they were. It seems #2 forgot. Anyway the dried cherries transformed into tiny prunes. That was even better on the healthy quota.
Overall, not thrilled with my dining experience here, but the food was ok. Of course I paid $ 11 for the pleasure. $ 3 for coffee — cheaper than the Starbucks in the Harrah’s — $ 6 for oatmeal. $ 1.50 for tip.

Ugh, the LVH depresses me, and this restaurant is no different. I noticed there are no windows in this place, which is kind of interesting. Conversely, there are some really nice murals of tropical scenes on the walls!
I ordered a taco salad, which was massive. It was average in taste and quality. Service was pretty friendly and prompt, though. We ended up here out of convenience (looks like a lot of other reviewers did the same), and I think that’s the only reason I may eat here again.

I’ve been going to Hilton for years and only now I found out this place really existed. Always thought that it was mistakenly put an the map.
Really does give you the feeling like your in paradise, beach and waterfall painted on the wall, fake tropical trees and plants, bright and cool, lots of fans. All that was missing was a pool, light rain, and the sand.
Down to the food, we all had their land and sea combination specials for around $ 16 – 19. Where you choose the land (prime rib, rib eye, or a third choice) and the sea (shrimp, lobster, or crab legs). The crab legs and prime rib were both thick pieces, the plates were huge i don’t any of us finished more than half. Don’t suggest the shrimp route unless you really want shrimp, for a around a dollar more you get maybe 6 crab legs instead of 3 – 6 grilled shrimps. Portions were good but kinda lacked flavor even salt and pepper. Also could have used some gravy on the mash potatoes.
Their 10 oz angus burger also looked tempting, starts at around $ 11. Their Giant Grand Slam Sundae for around $ 8 sounded tasty, oversized sundae made with choice of ice cream, topped with hot fudge, strawberries, whipped cream, walnuts, and cherry on the top.
Service was good, explained the special, got our drinks refilled and food fast, napkins, etc.

This was definitely heading for a 3 to 3.5 star review while I was eating. Then the service really went down hill. They became quite busy early, but we got there at 5 when they opened. Ordering was pretty prompt — it should have been faster with the fewer people then, but it got worse.
I had the Southwestern chicken salad. It was really good. Lettuce with chopped tomatoes, cheese, some tortilla strips, and best of all, lots of jalapeño slices mixed in with the dressing. It gave the salad zing, and it was really good. My wife had an omelet, and she enjoyed that although he didn’t order a side of bacon. Rather, she gotten bacon pieces mixed in her omelet. He also forgot to order the guacamole.
I did have a fantastic dessert — the mile high chocolate cake. I posted a photo of it. This soothed my feelings for awhile.
After our meal, the waiter didn’t bring the check. After 15 minutes he finally appeared, but he forgot to remove the amount of my comp. Then he was gone for another 10 minutes with my credit card before reappeared with the corrected tab and my card.
I have had some good meals at this coffee shop including tonight, but service was lacking so much that it comes in between 1.5 and 2 stars so I’ll round up.
