Has anyone tried Paradiso 37?

Has anyone tried either lunch or dinner at Paradiso 37? How is the food? And where exactly is it located in Downtown Disney? Thanks!

WE had lunch there a week ago today and enjoyed it a lot. Had a great view of the lake. Very friendly staff. Food was good, but my dish was specially made because of my heart condition. My wife enjoyed her "normal" dish, which was one of the "street foods".

They are planning to do a big reworking of the menu some time in the Fall - to make it a bit more "elegant". (Sounds like that probably means "expensive".)

The bad news for those who like this place is that they are also trying to get onto the dining plan for next year. That's sad - we know what happens to restaurant menus once they're on the DDP.

As for the location - it's smack in the middle of that used to be Pleasure Island, just a little west of Raglan Road.

Thanks for the info, Cigar95! Our trip isn't until February 2010, so we might see some changes by then... hopefully they'll be good changes!

I ate there a few weeks ago. They serve south american cuisine. My husband loved his meal - I have a dining review of it here with pictures:

We ate there this July and I posted our food photos on the Food Porn thread #3. My group had mixed feelings over the whole experience. The service was nothing to write home about, we had to flag her down and ask for more drinks every time anyone in our party of 7 needed one. The food was tasty, but some of the portions were small, particularly my Mother's Chicken Caesar Salad. The food was not only South American, but represented all of the Americas, North and Central too.

Here are links to those photos:
