Building is still there as Yasmeen's Indian Cuisine Some minor exterior detail changes, and the interior has nothing remotely polynesian.... "Cocktails" can be seen at the bottom of their sign And the back of the matchcover shows great promise of what may have been inside..... When I moved to Ventura in 1985 this was a good Italian restaurant called "Marianne's" which I believe had another location in Port Hueneme. There is a "Jue's Market" a few blocks down on Main St. I talked to one of the Jue family memebers thinking they had owned the Paradise at one time. He said it belonged to another Jue family not related to them and he did not know how to contact them. Too bad. Not sure if they had a Tiki menu or signature mug.......
