Just had dinner there last night. One of the best memorable meals we have had in a long time. Service was great and Cid was very attentive. Very nice atmosphere as well. Thanks and great job chef. 5 stars!!

Went here and ordered the Spaghetti and meatballs, Garden Bianca, and Wedge. All the food was good but that spaghetti and meatballs dish was fantastic. Definitely worth a try.

This is the 3rd year in a row that our group of friends have visited Bar Meets Grill to celebrate 2 birthdays. After our first visit and having Tiffany as our server, we request her and with good reason! Without a doubt, she is the BEST server we have EVER had. She has a great personality, but, besides that, pays attention to detail and is always on top of our needs! We tell everyone what an awesome experience we have had every visit! The food is always served with great presentation and is always very tasty! Tiffany is definitely an asset to your restaurant, and we want to make sure she gets her kudos from us! We will be back next year, if not sooner and will definitely be requesting Tiffany! Thank you, Tiffany, for always making our celebration a memorable experience!!

My wife and I have been to BMG a handful of times and we always enjoy it. We enjoy the fact that you can have a nice casual dinner before a concert or you can dress up and celebrate an occasion. The food is consistently great, the drinks are on point a d the service is excellent… thanks Tiffany!
Conrad Blanco
Limited menu and no draft beer. But the food was great and the service was excellent. I had the caprese and chicken parmesan. The best I've had in a long time. 👍😋 I wish I took pics of the dishes.

Spicy Cadillac margarita was spot on 👍🏻 and the meatballs were delicious if you get the spaghetti and meatballs you’re not going to have room for dessert unless you share. Everything I’ve had here has been great the pork chop is great and they have pizza that is really good too

Been to this place a couple times before and it was great but will not be returning after this. Sat down with my boyfriend and my dad for a nice dinner, my dad and I decided we wanted to order a glass of wine and I happily handed our waitress my ID (I’m 22 years old). She then explained to me that I could not order any alcohol because my ID was vertical. I was very confused because I had never had a problem buying alcohol anywhere else with my vertical ID (including this same restaurant in the past) and because my ID doesn’t expire until 2025. She brought her manager over and we explained that I had been to this restaurant before and been served with this ID just fine but she insisted that it was a policy that “as far as she knew” they had been enacting for the past two years. Very disturbing experience considering my ID says in big, bold letters “age 21 in 2023”. My ID is a government issued California state drivers license so I’m not sure how that’s not a valid form of identification to buy a glass of wine at a restaurant.

I was satisfied with the food & services they offered… although it’s little bit pricey; but will go again!

We were here on a week night and it wasn't very busy at all. We we did expect a bit more with the meal since it's a bit pricey. We still enjoyed meeting our friends here. The waiter was very good and he worked hard. The salad was very good!

Even though the burger is not on the menu, it is available! Just ask the waiter. Whenever I dine here, I feel like I am truly eating luxury. Garlic confit, high grade steaks, delicious breads, and friendly wait staff. Even if it's busy, they make the effort to make you feel like the only customer there. The menu is geared towards seafood, so beware any severe seafood allergies.
Dietary restrictions: I have a pepper allergy and shellfish / seafood sensitivity- Chef Carlos made me a custom pasta dish that had a red sauce and intense complex flavor that moved me to tears. It feels silly to say, but it was so moving. I usually have to eat only red meat at nice restaurants because of the seasonings used in sauces or marinades, but chef Carlos went the extra mile to make sure I had a luxury experience.

Not sorry to share this review!!! Hope this review helps BAR MEETS GRILL in Pala California inside Pala Casino Resort get their service together!! 1ST attempt to enjoy the atmosphere at BAR MEETS GRILL was a eye opening experience....SMH. Wife and I were ignored deliberately and blatantly. While trying to order drinks and food to go at their bar. The 3 servers congregated in a circle right next to us , chatting about one of the servers vacation coming up? Neither of the 3 asked us "Can I help you?" Or "What can I get you?" Or anything? Finally one caught eye contact with my wife after reading her face asks? "Are you ready to order?( We never got menu's to order) This was there 1st contact with us? After sitting there over 10mins. While ppl after us were being helped right away? Like before couples of Indian and Mexican decent were helped right away? "( LITERALLY OVERLY HELPED AND OVERLY POLITE) All the while wife and I were on an island sitting 2 feet away from a couple that just arrived after us? Its was late and we wanted to get food to go and head up to our room? I finally asked can we ordered????????? Then in a very terrible obvious way we were given some attention from these employees of BAR MEETS GRILL? We ordered our meals and waited another 30+mins to receive our orders? Never asked? "Would we like to order a drink?" while we waited?Finally our food arrives to go? No bag No Forks! No Spoons! No Condiments! No Bag! No Napkins! Just the plastic containers they came in...that were almost shoved across the counter to us on the bars counter top like you see in an old western with a mug of beer? I continued to hold my composure. Wife did the same. Smh. We left the the food and just went upstairs angry ? ?.2nd time on 01/12/2024 last night we got terrible service and being ignored until we said something to the servers!!!(AGAIN)We order... again No Bag! No Forks! No Napkins! No Condiments! Just our food on the counter top given to us like we were an irritant. THESE SERVERS ARE PPL OF COLOR ...AND OF INDIAN OR MEXICAN DECENT. TOTALLY DIFFERENT SET OF SERVERS FROM THE PREVIOUS ENCOUNTER. AND THEY TOO WERE OF INDIAN OR MEXICAN DECENT. WERE WE BAFFLED BY THE 1ST SITUATION OF RACISM BUT THE 2ND WAS JUST TOO MUCH FOR US TO IGNORE!!! IM FEELING SO BAD I COULDN'T SLEEP LAST NIGHT? SO IM UP THIS MORNING AT 7:04 01/12/2024 EXPRESSING THE PAIN AND ANGER I FELT EXPERIENCING THIS AT ALL BUT FOR A SECOND TIME? WAS JUST TOO MUCH TO BARE!! I HAD TO GET HOW WE WERE TREATED OUT OF MY BODY AND MIND? SO I CAN FEEL ALITTLE BETTER? WE ARE HUMILIATED AND CONFUSED. IF YOUR ARE OF AFRICAN AMERICAN DECENT IN CALIFORNIA? AND FIND YOURSELF TRYING TO ENJOY YOUR DATED NIGHT? AT ALL COST AVOID "BAR MEETS GRILL" AT PALA CASINO RESORT IN PALA CALIFORNIA. THEY TREATED MY WIFE AND I ON OUR VERY FEW DATE NIGHTS WE EVER GET TO HAVE? LIKE WE WERE IN THE DEEP SOUTH IN 1933. PLEASE AVOID THIS RESTAURANT. DONT RUIN YOUR DATE NIGHT BY GOIN TO "BAR MEETS GRILL" IN PALA CASINO IN PALA CALIFORNIA.
