Flavors are simple, if a tad salty, the only condiments being pepper and more salt.The somewhat inflated prices are standard Xintiandi, and quality varies: £¤138 for a nice salmon fillet and £¤168 for tender sirloin, but £¤168 for an unexceptional mixed grill of tough steak, over-marinated chicken and fatty pork. Our main complaint is that Paradise, formerly a nightclub, hasn't managed to shed its former self: The decor is TGI Friday¡¯s meets cover-band club on a bad night, and the gaudy bar and wall of mirrors detract from the food. We'd prefer to return in summer, when we can sit outside, people watch, and tuck into an interactive, oil-free meal.
