Bangkok Paradise 90 Washington - 978.825.9201 Cuisine: Thai Recommended Dishes:Salmon ginger and Vegetable Pad Thai Review:BP #1 I highly recommend this restaurant. There are many tasty dishes, with a good mix of meat and vegetarian. I have tried many of them and have yet to find one I don't like. My favorite are the stir frys because of the fresh veggies and choice of meat and cooking style. The dressings are unique and certainly make the meal. The owners and waitstaff are extremely friendly and make you happy to tip generously. Overall, I give it an A+.

Review:Only good for drinks on the deck - dont' bother with the food unless you need it for alcohol absorption Food has been on a steady downhill slope over the years - the only reason we keep going back is the deck that overlooks the water - that is it.. the food is of very poor quality and the service is not that great - had to get my own drinks at the bar as well as condiments. Review:Floating is the whole thing... While the food us decent and unspectacular, the view makes up for it. When Salem is sultry and humid, take a little boat out to the Rockmore and get very cool! The food is good, but watch out for your napkins blowing away. The only other hazard is that sometime the food gets cool quickly due to the ocean breezes. You can get a large quantitiy of fried seafood for short money if you split the fisherman's platter with a friend. It's not really about the food; it's about the attitude adjustment. Sit there and sip your beverage and all your cares will melt away. This is the perfect place to take out of towners. Truly unique.
