Barefoot Grill & Bar

This is a bar/pub on Paradise Island in Mission Bay. They have a public dock available, so we took our dinghy over to their dock and tied up for free. They call it "Dock & Dine". Met up with some friends that just happened to be on Paradise Island for a wedding. The pub is super casual, most is open air under canvas shades. Overlooking the marina and water. We just had drinks and a nacho appetizer. I had a creamy coconut margarita, which was definitely good, ordered a second one. My wife ordered her typical G&T. The nachos, OMG, best I've ever had. They were on homemade fried tortilla chips, we added carne asada, plus beans, scallions, cilantro,sour cream, pica salsa, jalapenos, and covered in queso... YUMM! Our friends saw ours and ordered one for themselves too!

We spent a few days at the resort and ended up eating here a number of times for breakfast lunch and dinner. It’s a really cool place with great outdoor seating overlooking the water. The staff was great and super friendly. They had some great beers on tap. The food however is interesting…they have a really good menu and all the dishes are executed amazingly. To be honest I did enjoy everything I ate but the reason I gave the food a lesser rating is flavor…there wasn’t a whole lot of flavor. While everything was cooked perfectly with great presentation, textures and color it all lacked enough flavor to push it over the edge. The convenience factor if you are on property, the views, friendly staff, and drink selections make it a winner. With all that said I’d have no problem going back. It’s a great place if you don’t want to leave the property.

My wife and I have enjoyed early evening and late night walks around the Paradise Point Resort and Spa area, always walking by and through the Barefoot Bar & Grill restaurant. Today being Father's Day we decided to get a bite to eat here with our daughter (21) and it certainly was a worthwhile experience. Though we didn't eat everything on the menu we did enjoy some delectable edibles. The 5 stars are for the food, service and atmosphere, and our overall engagement, being truly worthwhile, which means; "Go For The Experience." We'll be back! Those 3 little tacos were to die for.
