My friends and I celebrated early Xmas gathering in this restaurant. The food and the place reminded me of Barcelona Tapas bars. Absolutely delicious tapas food with great presentation, very attentive and polite servers. Classy velvet couches ads to the beautiful ambiance. Anyone who is crazy about great cocktails and tapas style food, here is the place. We enjoyed it immensely. This place is added to our favorite list of Restaurants.

Awesome place for affordable fine dining. It looks like a million bucks but costs like $15 a plate.

Disappointed in dinner here. Arrived on a Thursday evening to an empty restaurant. Our server was nice and knowledgeable. The beer that was ordered tasted off and our server was happy to replace with a different kind. The food is not exactly tapas or small plates which we were unaware of prior to ordering. Each plate was more than a few bites or more than 1-2 pieces for a person. The plates were a lot larger and had we known this, we would have ordered less items and spent less.
La Dolce Burrata was good. Nothing special, but good.
Meatballs were big, but a bit bland.
Cheesy Dream Rolls was not a good item. It was a weird combination of the egg roll wrapper with the Mac and cheese and marinara sauce was bland.
Short ribs was a little dry.
Shishito Peppers says on the menu a pomegranate glaze, but doesn't list vinegar... which was off putting for some at the table.
Calamari was ok, but a little chewy and oily.
Overall, the service was nice and food was not worth the $200+ bill that we paid.

It's a very pleasant place with delicious food and cocktails. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, especially the fact that the tables are spaced far apart. The service was top-notch, and the owner was very pleasant. I give this restaurant a perfect score!

I am so glad we decided to finally try Pialon. It has been a few months since it re-opened under a new management with a different food concept.
From the moment we walked in, I could tell this restaurant is very unique. The atmosphere is fresh, modern, and welcoming.
The menu is creative without being overwhelming and everything we tried was full of flavor and well presented. The small sharable plate concept is great. It worked well as we were able to try a lot of dishes.
Service was friendly, attentive, and genuine. The owners even stopped by to make sure everything was perfect, which made the experience feel personal and warm.
Overall, Pialon is a truly great addition to the area. Whether you are looking for a romantic evening, a family gathering, a large party, or just a great meal, this place delivers on every level. I can't wait to come back!

Pialon is my new go-to, especially for happy hour. The food is fresh and superb; the drinks are unique and delicious; the service is friendly and helpful; and the atmosphere is overall perfect. The space is very open and tastefully decorated. Along with its beautiful outdoor patio in the front, it has a chill vibe of wonderful music and lovely staff. Its large space lends itself perfectly to big gatherings and celebrations. Pialon is also dog-friendly, another bonus!

Tucked in the back of Capri Plaza with parking beneath the plaza and metered parking on the surrounding streets, Pialon is a hidden gem!

Pialon is amazing! The food was delicious, the vibe was beautiful, and the service was excellent. I don’t drink, but their mocktails were super refreshing and creative but everyone I was with was raving about their handcrafted cocktails . Definitely one of my new favorite spots for dinner with friends!

Hidden Gem!
This place blew me away. Every dish tasted fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared — real gourmet food without the crazy prices. I couldn’t believe that nothing on the menu was over $18! The ingredients taste super fresh, and you can tell the chef puts real passion into every plate. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was relaxed but classy. It’s rare to find a spot that serves food this good at such great value. Highly recommend — I’ll definitely be coming back!

We finally made it to Pialon Restaurant after wanting to go for the past few years, and it was absolutely worth the wait! We went as a family with our boys, and from the moment we walked in, we were impressed. The place has been beautifully renovated — the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a cute bar, smooth music, and an overall amazing vibe.

The food was delicious, and every dish we tried was full of flavor. What really stood out, though, was the hospitality. The owner, Michael, personally came to welcome us and even said goodbye when we left. He was such a gracious and genuine host, which made the experience feel even more special.

We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back. Wishing them all the best — they truly deserve it!

We had a terrible experience at Pialoon Restaurant. I went there with a group of 8 people. I was supposed to pay $60 per person, which comes out to $480. Even with the 20% service fee, the total should’ve been $576. But the manager, Eli, charged me $720! I asked her for a receipt, and she refused to give it to me. She was so rude and mean about it, too.

I’ve heard she always adds extra charges without explaining anything. The service was also horrible. It was a Saturday night, and they only had 2 or 3 servers trying to take care of around 130 people. Everything was super slow, the servers were unprofessional, and it was just a mess overall. I definitely don’t recommend this place and won’t be going back.
