@oceanparadise_restaurantI officially have a new[to me], must try restaurant in NoVA! The quality of the food was spectacular.✨️ Sautéed Calamari: The PERFECT app to share and to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of Calamari but this changed my mind. The sauce is amasing with the garlic bread too.✨️ Chicken & cranberry salad: Deliciously crisp and refreshing, I was told this is a new addition to the menu and I think it was perfect for spring!? Spicy Lobster pasta: This wasn't as spicy as I anticipated, but man was the flavours are so tasty! I would 100% order this again and probably my favourite item overall.✨️ Lobster roll: Most Lobster rolls I've had in the area are too mayo-y and this was the opposite. It was refreshing and perfectly prepared, easily would recommend the lobster roll here to anyone who is craving.? Red sangria & Beach water: Drinks were so pretty, I absolutely loveeeee the sangria.? Key lime pie & Bread pudding: Both absolutely delicious desserts, personally one of the best key lime pies I've had as it wasn't too tangy or too sweet. The bread pudding was phenomenal, it's one of those desserts I'd come back for alone.Overall, I can't believe I had not been here before. It's made it on my top restaurants for NoVA area and will be back soon!- insta @ SpicyAivy

Phenomenal. Service, food, ambience are all on point. The waitstaff is kind and accommodating without being overbearing. The food is outstanding and has a delicious homemade touch. Wonderful place. We will be back even though we live an hour and a half away.

The crab cakes were loaded with crab! The Tuscan Herb Potatoes were very flavorful. My wife had the crab stuffed mushrooms and they were great. We also managed to save room for deserts. The homemade creme brulee and key lime pie also tasted great. Overall, we recommend this family-owned restaurant. We're not local, so it was a little pricey for us but was so worth it! Very satisfied customers. We will come back next time in town.Parking: Easily parked right across from the front door.

FANTASTIC FOOD! A little pricey, but honestly it's worth it. I got the Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes and it was easily the best crab cakes I've ever had. The crab-stuffed mushrooms were great as well. Our server was also really nice and attentive. Highly recommend!Kid-friendliness: The place is family-owned, and the workers are friendly.

The food was a mix of excellent to slightly lack luster (crab balls, shrimp and chicken Alfredo) . Drinks were good and oysters were great. We enjoyed our dinner very much. I would recommend this for a nice dinner out without the hassle of parking or crowds. The seafood was fresh and delicious and the waitress was attentive and good.

This was a cozy spot but a little too cozy. The service was good and the food was decent. The cocktail shrimp did have a little water coming out of them . My wife's steak was supposed to be medium well, but it was more raw than mesium well.
Fried calamari marinara sauce tasted bitter mushroom app not bad but not great Shrimp feast was not good at all ( Shrimps were not cooked completely, no flavor and very small shrimp for 27 dollars expected much more. Garlic bread very oily. Water was served and there was a hair in my glass. Did not complain I paid the bill and will not return ( 4 people $168 ) needless to say this was NOT Paradise - no fresh seafood completely frozen. Menu has a lot to offer but the food was poor - have less on the menu and have fresh seafood. I would pay the prices for good food - left hungry
The Ocean Paradise Platter was very underwhelming and I felt like it was a scam. I paid $31 for a mediocre salad, small piece of salmon, 3 pieces of shrimp and Scallops. The waitress then tried to justify by saying that it was stated in the description but it was not. After asking she provided 3 more pieces of shrimp which was nice. Drinks were good, service was good. If you come here avoid the platter

Our first visit to Ocean Paradise was fantastic! We will definitely be back. Everything we ordered was served very hot and tasted awesome. This is the best seafood we have had in the Northern Virginia area. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms, sauteed calamari, shrimp feast, fish tacos and bread pudding for dessert. Everything was phenomenal!
