Definitely my favorite restaurant in the Titusville area! The food is amazing, they have a great menu selection, the wait staff is incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere is inviting. You have to try this place out at least once!

Our pre-Titusville Playhouse dinner was a complete disappointment; had reservations for 4; one salad served incorrectly was returned to the kitchen for chicken and not seen again for over 30 minutes?waited 1.15 hrs for a filet mignon steak dinner, came as a greasy rib eye served on top of mashed potatoes and sautéed veggies, average at best. Complete disappointment in the food and the worst service I’ve had in Titusville. We should have gone elsewhere.

The Cafe Paradiso Bistro & Social Club 337 S. Washington Ave., Titusville, FL 327963.5 StarsIn the downtown area of the bristling metropolis known as Titusville, FL sits a rather ambitious little joint with a name reminiscent of an old Fonda/Stewart movie and a classic Italian coming-of-age flick, The Cafe Paradiso Bistro & Social Club. The first thing I noticed upon entry was the eclectic décor. It's almost too busy, but it's not. I found it to be bright, cheerful and inviting.Steven is the waiter for the meal. Steven was charming, congenial and professional. He seemed to be slightly hearing impaired, noticing that I adjusted my speech volume, and Steven answered all of my questions regarding the menu. In regards to the menu, I found it to be pioneering in it's flavor combinations, however, there was a lot of crossover. Executive Chef Elisandrya De Sade Way (Chef Gypsy) is one to watch. She is extremely creative in her desire to bring the Space Coast unique, yet well-known meals. I asked for a cup of their Jambalaya, some Haitian Beef Griot and a glass of Tropical Hibiscus unsweetened tea.Kicking back and enjoyin' the digs, I snapped a few pics of the interior and eagerly awaited Steven's return. Before too long (I do time this), Steven was seen bringing forth my fare. The warm aroma of the Jambalaya preceded him and had my mouth watering in anticipation. Taking the requisite pictures of the food, I got to work.First up was the cup of Jambalaya. For those not in the know, Jambalaya is an American Creole and Cajun rice dish of Provencal French, African and Spanish influence. Done right, it is savory, spicy and scrumptious. A truly wonderful belly-warming dish. Chef Gypsy's take on this Louisiana staple included seasoned chicken, spicy Andouille sausage and savory vegetables. However, the all-important rice was a bit on the overcooked side. I chalked this up to sitting in a steamer/warmer. The flavor did not suffer due to this, but it did detract from the overall enjoyment of the Jambalaya.Moving on, I found the Haitian Beef Griot to be the opposite. In this case, the rice was slightly undercooked. This makes one ask, was the rice cooker on the fritz, or did someone become distracted for a minute in the kitchen? The chunks of sirloin were tender and perfectly seasoned and the accompanying Haitian Pikliz (slaw) and Caribbean black beans were outstanding and had my taste-buds breaking into an Affranchi. I would be remiss if I failed to mention the incredible flavor of the Hibiscus tea. This was a true delight on the palate and perfect for washing down a few forkfuls of the slaw. I have to say, if the rice in each dish had been prepared and served to the standard of the Pikliz, this would have been a solid 4.5 stars. However, as it is,the Big Boy says, “3.5 stars is still a good first date or family outing. Oh, and keep your eye on Chef Gypsy. I expect things to get better and more ambitious!”

Don't sleep on this restaurant! The food was amazing and our server, Steven, was fast and very friendly.The Cubano was delicious and the Key Lime pie was by far the best I've ever had.

Valentine’s Dinner - Amazing! We got a last minute reservation here for Valentine’s Day and we loved everything the food, the atmosphere, the service was all excellent and romantic. You could tell the put a lot of thought into making it a special vibe. There was a set menu with 5 courses and complementary champagne. I am a vegetarian and my meal was excellent. My husband got the steak (he’s so picky) and said it was delicious. All the sides, the desserts, everything was delicious. Gypsy is an excellent chef. The dishes are creative and flavorful in a way that’s fancy and at the sane time like home cooking. I would recommend this place to anyone. Oh - and the owner serenaded us with live piano music.
