Paradise Island Cafe, Downtown

I had dinner 1 at this Jamaican restaurant across from the Amway Arena last Wednesday night. I had the large beef and bean soup for $3.75. It was tasty. Lots of beef. It was big enough to be a meal. It was a little discouraging to see that it was being reheated via microwave. It's small. It seats about 30. They have a deli on the other side (where you have to pay along side every lush buying beer). The service was a little "lethargic". They weren't exactly tripping over each other to make the customers feel welcome. They could have done double the business if they showed the slightest interest in engaging their patrons. I wager that they lose their entire clientele when ANY competition emerges. They have been given a golden opportunity and I see them letting it pass them by. The best part of meal was watching Crackers wince when they read what being served at the restaurant. I guess this isn't part of their usual food rotation.
