The restaurant is so well-designed, the perfect balance of classy and sexy. Lots of black, mirrors, and dim lighting, combined with floor-to-ceiling windows and greenery. The entrance has a fish pond with carp.The open kitchen allows you to see the chefs at work. We enjoyed first sitting on the open-air deck and taking photos. I had the caipichamp (a champagne cocktail with pineapple and lemon grass) and LOVED it. We also had the passion fruit caipirinha and lychee caipisake (like a capirinha but made with sake). The food was better than I expected given descriptions of this place as an "Asian lounge" (which tends to make me think of overpriced and uncreative Asian fusion). We had the octopus sashimi, salmon tataki (both were very fresh), scallop sushi, and crab dumplings (enjoyed these - very creative, with a coconut-based filling).

My total dissatisfaction at the end of the three hour torture was met with another manager lie: manager claimed to adjust R$1000 bill but instead pulled a Marie Antoinette and offered cake to diabetic me.

They have a system where you order food and drinks using a prepaid cash card. I think they are still testing out various methods of how they provide their services, as my mother in law has said that the payment system changes each time she visits. We ordered the fish and chips and it was delicious! The fish was fried to perfection and super crispy. Unfortunately, they do not provide lemons or tartar sauce so make sure to ask for extra mayonnaise and limes when ordering. They do not have a tap beer menu so you will have to walk up to the bar and see their selection. Strangely, you are not able to order directly at the bar and you have to go back to your table and order through the waitress. Paradise Garage has a great stage for live performances. It's elevated, well lit and they have a great sound system. My only complaint about the live performances is the lighting- there are two flashing strobes on the stage facing the audience and it makes it very unpleasant to watch the performances. It ends up hurting your eyes. The band Little Mou that I saw live was amazing, if you get a chance, go see them! Português não é minha primeira língua e estou usando o google translate: Este local de música / pub / loja de auto apenas abriu há alguns meses e é um ótimo lugar para desfrutar de música ao vivo, boa comida e cerveja. O espaço é bonito, espaçoso, e bem pensado. Eles têm um sistema onde você pedir comida e bebidas utilizando um cartão pré-pago de dinheiro. Eu acho que eles ainda estão testando vários métodos de como eles prestam seus serviços, como minha mãe diz que o sistema de pagamento muda cada vez que ela visita. Nós pedidos o peixe e fritas e foi delicioso! O peixe foi frito com perfeição e super crocante. Infelizmente, eles não fornecer limões ou molho tártaro por isso certifique-se de pedir maionese extra e limes ao encomendar. Eles não têm um tap cerveja menu para que você terá a pé até o bar e ver sua seleção. Estranhamente, não são capazes de ordem directamente no bar e você tem que voltar para a sua mesa e ordem através da garçonete. Paradise Garage tem um grande palco para apresentações ao vivo. É elevado, bem iluminado e têm um excelente sistema de som. A minha única reclamação sobre as actuações ao vivo é a iluminação - há duas flashes piscando no palco de frente para o público e torna muito desagradável para assistir as performances. Isso acaba machucando seus olhos. A banda Little Mou que eu vi ao vivo foi incrível, se você tiver uma chance, vá vê-los!
