I ate there with my family in November 2013. It was fine, but nothing too special really. The food was good but I remember our server being very slow and pretty inattentive (not refilling drinks, not clearing plates, etc.). If you're looking for someplace in DTD to eat, I'd recommend Wolfgang Puck Grand Dining room over Paradiso 37. If you're looking for Mexican food, I'd recommend La Hacienda de San Angel in Epcot.
I have to admit, though, that my memory of Paradiso 37 might be a bit tainted. It was unusually cold in Orlando when we were there that November, but they sat us outside on the deck. They had those big torch heaters going to provide some warmth, but the one closest to our table was not working and we were absolutely freezing during the whole meal! We just wanted to eat as fast as possible and go somewhere warm, lol!

We had a similar experience at the Rose & Crown...but since we made an ADR 6 months in advance I refused to sit outside on a cold night in November. I think Disney needs to come up with something better than a few heat torches if they want to have people sitting outside in the cold weather. There is nothing worse than trying to eat a meal when you are feeling uncomfortable.

Ate there twice and both times were pretty lousy.I won't go back.
And on the reverse side of the coin.....
We have eaten there 3 times now and have had great service on the 2 times we sat inside, not so much on the deck. The food has always been good, although we mainly order appetizers.

We actually really enjoy Paradiso. We've eaten there 3 times and never been disappointed.
Love it. Goooood fish tacos & guacamole. Great drinks. If the weather is nice, nice to sit outside during live entertainment.

Ate there once, about 3 or 4 years ago... I enjoyed it... I'd eat there again except my travel companions are picky eaters...

Exact same thing happened to us the only time I've eaten there. The meal itself was fine (nothing special), but I'm not rushing back.
We liked it quite a bit. It's nothing outrageously special, but then the food is priced accordingly too. We sat on the patio and found it to be a relaxing, peaceful meal. It was nice to get away from the hustle and the bustle, have a nice spot overlooking the water and have some reasonably good food and drinks. I thought the enchiladas were actually pretty tasty.If I recall correctly someone else had the baja fish tacos and liked those too.
When hot dogs are practically $10 at the parks, you certainly can do a whole lot worse elsewhere.
We loved it. We've been two or three times. One time we sat at the bar, snacked and drank. Bar tender was friendly enough. Food was good. Drinks good. I remember things being overpriced, even by Disney standards, but we had a good time.
ate here a few times and would go back...here and Raglan Rd are the best at DD
