We were in the mood for seafood and found Ocean Paradise nearby! The decor is very nice. Classy but not stuffy where you feel like evening wear required. We were happily greeted in and seated. They weren't too busy on this Sunday evening. For apps we decided on the crab guacamole, peel and eat shrimp, and the fried trio- Oysters/Calamari/Shrimp that came with marinara and a roumalade. I noticed a Chipotle sauce that came with another shrimp dish and asked for that instead. The chips were fresh and tasty. Guac was also good the crab sat on top the guac. Peel and eat shrimp well seasoned with old bay. The fried trio was amazing as well. Everything perfectly fried and the Chipotle sauce delicious! For mains we went with the Chilean sea bass and lobster special. Fish and lobster was well prepared in a creamy sauce on top of mashed potatoes. Delicious and the potatoes were plentiful. We also tried the Chef's Ocean Elegance - Seared scallops and crab stuffed shrimp on top of garlic mashed potatoes topped with green onion and mushrooms in a lemon caper sauce. Everything was pefect!!! We noticed the happy hour menu with lots of delicious items. We may be back before we leave to try it out! read more

My mother and I went out for lunch to this place today, and we specifically ordered the branzino/lemon caper entree with a side of the cream sauce from the Chilean sea bass. We were unfortunately served the branzino topped with only the Chilean garlic sauce and not the lemon caper sauce at all. The server wasn't seeming to know what to do with our dissatisfied reaction, so we decided to salvage the fish and ordered the lemon caper on the side, it tasted bland at best. Fish was fine, but unfortunately there was nothing worth mentioning positively about it for its $37 price point. *Neither sauce was worth ordering and unfortunately neither tasted how they were described, more like plain aioli. In our ignorance, we didn't realize branzino meant the whole fish would be served versus a filet. It would have been nice to have been able to read that fact on the menu prior to ordering. We ordered the truffle fries, which had probably zero amounts of truffle on them. Overcooked. We ordered the tropical mojito mocktail, and it was either poorly made or the recipe could use a complete reset. The crab stuffed mushrooms and sauce, amazing. Server, kind. We were asking quite a few questions of him, trying to decide between the Chilean with lobster or the branzino, which showed our ignorance in the fish choices, I believe. A good server would have picked up on this, and went into a much more detailed explanation of both dishes to educate and inform us on making the right decision. So I think it's pretty accurate to say that a good majority of the problems we had could have been salvaged had he been a little more seasoned at reading the individual needs of his customers. Although, with ordering either of these entrees or the truffle fries, we would have been disappointed as the flavor was just not there. Being out of towners used to seafood from California, we were excited to try a new place on the east coast. I read multiple positive reviews from other customers, and unfortunately we are leaving disappointed in the $80 spent. We joked that perhaps the usual chef called in sick and the bus boy took his place. Underwhelming. Overcooked. Bland. But, they had pretty tables. read more

This is honestly such mediocre food, I don't really understand the rave reviews. The service was great, and the restaurant was clean, but other than that, there's not much else I liked. We came on a busy Sunday, but everything moved fairly quickly. As a table, we split the fried calamari and Spanish chorizo mussels. Both of which were solid as appetizers. There was nothing too spectacular about them. As my main, I ordered the crab-stuffed salmon which came with mashed potatoes and sauteed vegetables. The salmon, while the best part of the dish, still left more to be desired. It was a bit dry and I didn't think the sauce was all that flavorful. The vegetables were fine, but the mashed potatoes were simply bad? They had the texture and flavor of instant mashed potatoes, slightly liquidity while being quite bland. I just don't think this place is worth coming back to. read more

Ocean Paradise came to our attention when Yelp sent an email with restaurant suggestions. After looking over their menu, we decided to give it a try. It's in a newish shopping center, which, for us, had a bonus-- there is a Harris Teeter there. We needed to pick up some items, so we did before having dinner. We were here for an early dinner. Now that it's getting darker so early, we try to avoid driving after dark, when possible. Thus, we were here around 3 p.m. and were glad to see they were serving dinner at that time. To drink, I chose a mocktail called "What a lychee" which consists of "lychee, pineapple juice, club soda". It was garnished with a lychee. I did enjoy this drink. My husband had a non-alcoholic Stella Artois. Upon arrival, we were greeted and seated immediately. Having looked at the menu before arriving, we each knew what we wanted. I chose to try the "Blackened Pan Seared Yellow Fin Tuna" which (supposedly) consists of: "Topped with jumbo lump crab meat, sundried tomatoes, shiitake mushrooms, creamy lemon sauce served with rice." My husband chose the "Shrimp platter," which (supposedly) consists of: "crispy beer battered shrimp, coleslaw and chipotle sauce served with hand cut French fries." It took a while for our food to come out. As I was eating, it dawned on me that there was no crab meat or sundried tomatoes. Also, the sauce sure was a creamy lemon sauce. It was more like a miso-flavored sauce. Hard to say if the menu got changed, but no new menus were printed up to fix it. Or was it that the young man who cooked the food wasn't familiar with the entrees? Still, despite the discrepancies, I did like this dish, although it would have been even better if they had prepared it correctly. My husband noticed that there was no Chipotle sauce on his dish. Instead, there were two small containers: one with ketchup and another with tartar sauce. He, too, thought that his shrimp was well prepared, although the breading didn't cling to the shrimp. This experience left us with mixed feelings. On the one hand, we appreciated the friendly, attentive service. Yet, on the other hand, we wonder whether it's worth going again, given the possibility of not getting all the ingredients for one's entree. We liked the ambiance, which evoked images of the beach. They have some nice paintings on one wall depicting the seashore, a lighthouse, and beach houses. read more

The food was delicious, the service was fast and very professional. The ambiance was pleasant.

Ocean Paradise is a must-visit, we are fortunate it's next to our neighborhood. Ocean Paradise absolutely lives up to its name. A special shoutout to our server, Sandra, she was fantastic. We started with the bang bang shrimp--perfectly crispy with a delicious sweet heat that wasn't overpowering. Easily one of the best appetizers we've had. For my entrée, I had the twin lobster tails they were tender, buttery, and flawless. The seasonal vegetables were fresh and perfectly seasoned. My husband ordered the Connecticut lobster roll, which was loaded with generous chunks of lobster, lightly dressed, and served on a perfectly toasted roll with crispy fries. Simple, fresh, and absolutely delicious. read more

Ambiance: Great, very romantic, quiet enough for first dates. Service: great and fast service. Servers are sweet and they come and check on us a couple times through out dinner. Parking is a large parking lot so can park anytime. Lobsters roll: yum. Seafood pasta just okay. Crab cakes: 10/10. love it. Crunchy, lots of crab meat and the sauce and mushroom and peas was a great touch. Alcohol: Margarita okay, Pineapple drink (forgot the same) tasted just like smoothie, very little alcohol but i like it that way. read more

Very much enjoyed my tuna dinner here. Very close by the hotel, and as I walked through the plaza, I came upon this restaurant. Checked out its reviews. That and it's menu made it worth a try. The blackened pan seared yellow fish tuna jumped off the menu at me, so I had to give it a try. Being a huge fish fan, the tuna is topped with some lump crab meat. (you get a bit, not a ton), shiitake mushrooms in a creamy lemon butter sauce sounded very appetizing. One big takeaway I need to mention is it says the meal included white rice. I had it "to go" and when I got back to the hotel and sat down to eat, the white rice was missing. WTH!? The meal only comes with two things and you forgot one? You get a choice of one side. It comes with mashed potatoes, but I went with the side salad. You don't get much salad, but what you do get had fresh vegetables. Nice staff. It's a clean looking establishment. read more

My husband and I had our Valentine's Day dinner at Ocean Paradise. We ordered red sangria and white sangria, both of which tasted overly sweet and not like wine. Aside from that, we really enjoyed our food, the service and the experience. We ordered the crab guacamole. The chips were fresh and warm and there was an abundance of crab and shrimp in the appetizer. We really enjoyed it. For our mains, I ordered the lobster pasta. It had a very unique cream sauce and a good amount of lobster. The fettuccine was cooked perfectly. My husband ordered a steak topped with crab. His food was delicious, including tasty rice. We have been to Ocean Paradise a few times and have tried different things. They serve excellently prepared food. I would recommend giving them a try. read more

Went on Easter Sunday around 6pm for dinner. The restaurant is in a strip mall and decently sized inside. It was quite empty. Service was fine and everyone who came to the table was pleasant. I wanted to order the salmon and shrimp skewer as I had seen it when looking at the menu online. However, the server confirmed that they changed their menu and online was out of date. That's unfortunate. But he was able to recommend something comparable. I ended up with the salmon, scallops and shrimp meal, which was good. I was told the restaurant may not look like much, but that the seafood is really good and that it gets packed on a weekday for happy hour. I would say the seafood was decent, and I would have to see the crowd to believe it. read more

Finished with a doctors appointment on a Friday morning and returned again to Ocean Paradise for our big Friday meal. My wife and I both had the salmon which was excellent. We skipped the clam chowder soup but probably should have done it as a take-out. The key lime pie here continues to be the best key lime pie we have found in Northern Virginia. It was get to be back again and see all the friendly staff. read more

This restaurant was located across from our hotel. After a long drive, we didn't want to venture, too far and there weren't a ton of options in the immediate vicinity that we could see. We later found out there was a mall with several restaurants less than 5 minutes down the road. Regardless, the food here is top tier. We ordered takeout and everything was fresh and delicious. I was especially pleasantly pleased with the lobster pasta. The lobster was delicious and plentiful. The dish had a kick of spice, but not in an overwhelming way, but a pleasant surprise. The cook knows what they are doing here, this food is not boring or lackluster. With that being said, I tried to order online multiple times, but something was obviously wrong with the website. I finally gave in and called to place an order. The waiter on the phone was efficient, but not the friendliest. Also it was weird because he didn't seem to know the protocol for taking orders or food allergies. So we were put on a long hold while he checked - which we appreciate his diligence for but we could hear their conversation because we weren't put on mute. The bad part of this meal was dessert. We ordered the brownie Sunday. The brownie was obviously microwaved in the plastic container. What happens when plastic is microwaved? Depending on the type, it melts. This clear plastic melted and merged with the rock hard, over heated brownie. It was literally so hard that the plastic fork they provided could not penetrate the brownie. Needless to say it was trash and so was the wasted money spent on it. Even though that was terrible, the main entrees are clearly the star of the show here. read more

Perfect French fries. Flaky, tender, delicious cod. Friendly bartender. Comfy, attractive atmosphere. Great spot.

Went for happy hour at the bar. Had wine, mussels, raw oysters, fried zucchini from the HH menu. Then tried shrimp quesadillas. Brownie dessert w/ ice cream to finish the evening. Happy hour pricing not bad. Food portions were plenty for happy hour. We wanted to try something off the main menu, shrimp quesadillas were so fresh tasting, shrimps were juicy and veggies inside were nice and crispy as well. Raw oysters were really good. Service - they were extremely nice and welcoming. Will definitely go back to try other dishes. Restaurant was clean and open. read more

Pretty solid seafood fare restaurant in the Northern Virginia and Fairfax area. Ocean Paradise is a solid seafood spot, and it's leagues better than Ford's Fish Shack, which has become a trite and "overrated" go-to spot for seafood, to name the term. Ford's (at least the one in Ashburn) quality has consistently been plummeting, and last two times the food as a whole has been too salty by far. We've been to Ocean Paradise twice, as a family. The first time, I had Lobster Scampi and it was simply delicious. Enjoyed it both the times, tried something different this time. Actually this time, we came for my mom's birthday. So a special occasion. We immediately ordered calamari to start, and I got the Grilled Branzino. We also ordered Sea Bass and Fish n' Chips. Calamari came sooner than expected, and it was simply amazing. Knocked my socks off. Perfect amount of salt, and two separate, unique sauces. Nothing overpowering. Taste-wise they nailed it. I had the Grilled Branzino, which was a Whole Mediterranean Blackened Sea Bass, lemon caper sauce, rice and sautéed vegetables. I substituted the white rice for Spanish rice -- basically fried rice, with vegetables and spices. I enjoyed the Branzino, the fish itself was somewhat tasteless and very bony -- not fan of so many small bones -- but with the sauce it was passable. Asparagus was the vegetable here, about 3-5 of them, it was pretty nice. As a whole, my dish was not superb but it was pretty spot-on, I'll give it a pass. After eating my food, I excused myself and told someone at the bar that it was special occasion and we'd like to get bread pudding for dessert. They came afterwards and sang happy birthday, which was nice touch. Overall, good experience here at Ocean Paradise, the seafood and menu never disappoints, quality has been rock solid the twice we've come, and plus it's best to opt for seafood with bird flu going on right now (chicken's out). All in all, this is one of the Top Seafood Spots in the Northern Virginia area. read more

This place is really amazing considering it is in a strip mall with a Harris Teeter! I haven't been here in 3 months but Jose recognized me right away. Ronnie is the bartender tonight and he is as good as Jose was in April (which is a tough feat). The happy hour specials are too good to pass up. Had a dozen oysters and the garlic wine mussels. OMG! Oysters are oysters but these were Chesapeake, good size, and medium salinity which I personally prefer. The mussels were excellent. Great taste. Ronnie and Jose and the entire staff here along with the food are great. I highly recommend it! read more

Second time here. I don't come here often since I was staying at the hotel access the street. After a long trip with little sleep, I just wanted a good meal and veg out in front of the TV. I ordered "The Captain" for takeout, which consisted of a crab cake, 3 fried shrimp, oysters, and scallops, The staff was friendly and the food ready on time. Then the problems started. First off, it was missing the coleslaw and remoulade sauce. I was really tired and didn't feel like walking back. The food was on the salty side. It might have been better with the remoulade or coleslaw to cut the saltiness. The hotel had mayonnaise that was better than nothing. The French fries was sad. I ate about half then gave up. This is was a disappointment. The seafood was good for the most part. The crab cake, oysters, and shrimp were good. The scallops were a mixed bad. The first one was mushy to the point I didn't know if was a scallop or not. The second was much better, but had a burnt aftertaste. The third was good. Overall, a disappointing meal. read more

Surprisingly nice seafood restaurant in a newer looking shopping area/ strip-mall. Found it on Yelp and it lived up to its great reviews. Restaurant has a nice clean look. Bartender and servers are friendly. We had Baris as our server- very attentive. Interesting to talk to him too. Drinks were great. Dinners were hot and fresh. Veggies that came with crab cake were surprisingly crisp and fresh ( not soggy like many places). Crab cake had tons of fresh crabmeat and was only minimally breaded- excellent. Shrimp tacos were tasty. Too full for dessert. Plenty of parking. NMD ( Notorious MD) approved! Prices are very reasonable given food quality. read more

My wife and I recently came here for dinner, and it was easily one of the best date-night seafood experiences we've had in Northern Virginia. We started off with a couple of Bell's Two Hearted IPAs, a great hoppy complement to the seafood-heavy meal we had in mind. To kick things off, we split a dozen oysters--half from the Chesapeake and half from Michigan. The contrast was fantastic: the Chesapeake oysters were briny and crisp, while the Michigan oysters had a cleaner, slightly sweeter finish. Fresh, cold, and perfectly shucked. For mains, I went with the Seafood Platter, a generous serving of shrimp, scallops, fish, and more, all well-prepared and seasoned without being heavy. I exchanged the rice for mashed potaties. My wife ordered the Seafood Pasta, which came packed with shrimp, mussels, and calamari in a rich, flavorful sauce that clung to the pasta just right. Both entrées were hearty without being overwhelming--true comfort food for seafood lovers. We got some bread pudding to go. Low and behold, it was still warm when we got home. It came highly recommended, and it was indulgent with just the right balance of sweetness. It was the kind of dessert you want to linger over while finishing the last sips of whiskey. Service was attentive and personable throughout the night--friendly without being overbearing--and the atmosphere struck that sweet spot of relaxed yet refined. Perfect for a married couple wanting an easy, enjoyable night out with excellent food. Another big plus: Ocean Paradise runs happy hour every day from 5-7, with an extra early session on Fridays and Saturdays from 2-5. Between the oysters, drink options, and the welcoming vibe, it's easy to see why locals treat this as both a date-night destination and a go-to spot for casual meetups. read more

We all enjoyed our meal at Ocean Paradise. Our waiter, David was super friendly and funny. We came here when they first opened. We didn't like the ambiance. It was quite noisy. We felt like we were eating in a cafeteria. The ambiance was quite nice this time. We weren't sure if it was the holiday decorations or if we got a corner table. We could actually hear each other. The food was excellent. We had bang-bang shrimp for an appetizer, which was quite tasty. My husband ordered blackened tuna, I had the cod and my kids had chicken and fish tacos. David recommended the chicken tacos and my daughter really liked it. They also liked their bread pudding with ice cream. We will definitely come back again and try different dishes. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while. As a local, and seafood enthusiast I heard good things about this place. It took a while to convince the wife. Anyway, we ventured out there this past Saturday evening. The ambiance is simple. When we arrived there was not many people in the restaurant, it became more crowded as the evening progressed. We decided to sit at the bar, and we should have revisited that decision once the bar tender looked at me with a quizzical glance when I said we wanted to order a drink. Then he struggled to understand a Grey Goose and Soda? I'm not sure if it was a language issue or maybe he was just new, but obviously he did not know the menu well and struggled the orders all along the way. The manager came out to clarify my scallops order, as I switched sauces and forego the bacon. It was good, but the sauce was far from spicy as advertised. My bride said it best, the best park of the meal was the dessert. I had the pumpkin cheesecake and she had the warm brownie with ice cream. The expresso martinis looked good but like everything else here just lacked a little sparkle. Let me go back for one moment, we went here as we had a hankering for mussels. We miss Mon Ami Gabi .... They had great mussels. Anyway the white wine garlic sauce was bland and lacked pizazz. Although the actual mussels were meaty and cooked correctly, the broth makes the dish. This was a big miss. Besides dessert, the salads were crisp and fresh. On a good side, lots of staff on hand and the manager was very involved in getting the food out of the kitchen. I had high hopes.... read more

So people understand where I'm coming from--I absolutely love oysters. I've been eating them since my early 20s, so for over 20 years now, and I also worked as a chef for more than a decade. I've had oysters from Sweden, New Zealand, Maine, and many other places. I worked in a French restaurant where I personally shucked oysters and cooked mussels, not including I fish all my live, so I know fresh shellfish. We ordered the $40 premium oysters here, and when they arrived, they smelled horrendous. I immediately called the waiter over, and he actually jumped back from the smell himself. He admitted they smelled bad, went to the kitchen, and came back a few minutes later saying, "They're fresh." No, they absolutely were not. Fresh oysters do not smell like that. Serving spoiled oysters is incredibly dangerous--people can get very sick from Vibrio infection, Norovirus, or even Hepatitis A. The mussels were sandy. For anyone who knows: when mussels arrive, you remove them from the net, clean them, pull out the beard, and soak them in cold salted water for about 20 minutes. They'll filter themselves and come out clean. That basic step wasn't done here. p.s. Yes we eat mussels but it was very late, and we were starving, not a lot of place we knew were still open. Everything else we ordered was just "okay," but overall, I felt the chefs here cook without passion or proper care. I was especially disappointed because this place was recommended to me. Sadly, I won't be coming back and I cannot recommend it to anyone. read more

I've been coming here with my wife since they opened, literally upwards of a hundred times at this point, and I mean it when I say I've never had a bad meal, a bad experience, bad service, or anything of the sort. This is a consistent good choice, time and time again, whether you want some casual bar bites (happy hour at the bar is such a deal, and the Salmon Caesar has really grabbed ahold of me recently), or a drink (always in-stock vino verde, rotating drafts, delicious cocktails, and great non-alcoholic options), or something fancier (high quality cuts of fish and on New Year's a couple years ago I had one of the best steaks I've had anywhere nearby). The local oysters are always excellent, and I've seriously never had better bread pudding. This is one of my favorite places when I'm eating out, and I'm always a little excited when I go, introduce somebody to it, or even just recommend it. If this review sounds too glowing it's just because in my life I've never had any restaurant experience that was this consistently good with this many data points. How often do you go somewhere that can nail it every single time, meal after meal, year after year? read more
