    Great service, food was very good. A bit pricey, with one of those annoying 3% "benefits" surcharges. Our waiter did confirm the restaurant provides health coverage. But no other benefits. Lovely semi-outdoor patio. Great place when you want atmosphere, service and the ability to socialize with your companions.

    My wife and I are locals and we had tried Paloma shortly after it opened. We were not impressed, with some items being good and others not so much. Last night we decided to give it a second chance, and it was AMAZING! The setting is and was superb, but the food was really spectacular, as was the wine. We will be going back again for sure.

We truly appreciate your feedback and are so happy to know that both the food and wine exceeded your expectations this time around.

    A great place for groups just having a fun casual dining. Went for a celebration and shared a lot of appys. The ceviche, Singaporean corn, and octopus salad was very worth it! Would not recommend the wagyu hummus at all.

    I swear Ryan Gosling was our waiter. He was tall blonde and very good looking, he was very kind and gave good suggestions on the menu. I tipped 20% :) This place is my go to spot for hinge dates!! I do recommend for everyone
    Paloma VeniceResponded 7 days ago
    Thank you so much for your kind words, Stephen! We're so happy to hear you had a great experience with us, and we have to agree—if the server looks like Ryan Gosling, I would've tipped 20%, too! We can’t wait to welcome you back for another fantastic visit.

    Our waiter was excellent. The salmon was delicious. Expect small portions. (6 ounces of salmon, ordered a side of mashed potatoes, one small scoop. ) Had a lava cake for dessert, this is a one person serving. Tasty, but very small. The ambiance is beautiful. Music a little loud. I would recommend this restaurant and will return. Pricey but worth it.

    Worst food I’ve ever eaten. Meatballs taste like hamburger helper and the corn pasta is an absolutely travesty. Shawarma chicken is tasteless and watery. Gross food. Only good thing was understanding staff.
    Paloma VeniceResponded on October 18, 2024
    Hi Bijan, thank you so much for coming into our restaurant the other night. I am thrilled that our staff was approachable and understanding to your situation, but I sincerely apologize that our cuisine was not to your liking. We take all reviews and critiques very seriously, and we will strive to improve upon these issues moving forward. I would love to have you back sometime soon to provide you a better experience. Thank you again, Bijan!
