- CDChanaDSan Francisco Bay Area •32 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoParadiseae exceeded my expectations in every way - food, ambience and service were first class. I was especially impressed that the chef created custom vegan and pescatarian multi-course meals so that we could all enjoy the Chef’s menu. Everyone loved the creative and delicious food and cocktails. Will definitely come back if we’re in town again. Tip for vegans: contact the restaurant in advance so they can accommodate.More infoParadisaeaPrice: Very Expensive• Californian• La Jolla•4.7

- SSWashington, D.C. Area •8 reviews4.0Dined on Dec 11, 2024Came in on a Taco and Tequila Tuesday with a great special featured tequila from Dobel. This was a great night for quieter dining -- no big crowd or music -- but still great food and service, plus got to try the new Crystalino from Dobel that is very smooth and got deals on cocktails made with it too. We could easily converse at our table and enjoy ourselves with good food and drink. What is not to like about that ?More infoBeaumont'sPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• La Jolla•4.6
