    Service and drinks were excellent. Food came out timely. The food itself was hit or miss. The tallow potatoes and flank steak was great. The radishes and burrata were under seasoned. The nori didn’t make sense with the radish. The gnocchi was overcooked.

    It was worth it to go for the Jazz. But the food was not as good as I hoped it would be. Very salty. The service was nice but a bit chaotic.

    Amazing wine list that was so long: had all levels of wine from affordable to crazy expensive. Very creative food: black cod miso was super. Server was very attentive and very knowledgeable. We were lucky to make it on a jazz band night: they were awesome! Just a great experience. I’m also turning 50, and I’m the one woman that doesn’t like chocolate: they actually had a flan with ice cream! OMG.

    Pa’la downtown is now my new favorite place! The service, cocktails, and food were top tier. The band changes daily, along with providing two different vibes between upstairs and downstairs. Great experience.
