Food was absolutey delicious Paloma could be a real exquisite fine dining restaurant if they could improve on the service and also the loud thumping disco base was very distracting for table conversations We had several long periods of time where no waiter came by. You should not have to wave a waiter down to refill water or to order a course

First and foremost shout out to Kyle who provided attentive and friendly service! Seafood was delicious. We were well looked after and the ambiance was top notch!

We are regulars at Paloma. Outstanding service, food and ambience. We always enjoy our evenings there and introduce our friends to the restaurant.

We had to get up to find someone to greet our table. Servers took a break in the middle of our service. Never took drink menus off the table. Food runner auctioned off plates on the other side of the ramp guardrail where we were seated before fully approaching the table. Had to get up after entrees were dropped to find service. Some dishes were okay, but pastas really fell short. I won't be returning, sorry Paloma.

The look of the place was really good (and an improvement over what used to be there) and the server was a nice guy and gave honest suggestions. But the rest was lacking. The burrata experience dish was good and was probably the best part of the meal. The muscles were tasteless and the oysters just seemed off. The Spicy Chicken Parmesan was just okay, but clearly not spicy at all (not sure why the call it Spicy). Wine bottle options could be more expansive versus some really not so great wines at low prices and decent wines priced way too high. and the lava cake dessert was just dry and not good at all. Also while the server was pleasant as mentioned, found it strange when it came time to pay the bill, never actually saw a check, instead I was just handed the machine to pay without seeing the breakdown of what is on the bill. That was a first and only because I emailed a copy of the bill to myself afterwards did I see that they were adding a 5% surcharge to pay their employees, which should be made clear ahead of time before just handing over your credit card. All in all, was really not a great experience and won't go back.

Ambiance was subdued in inside dining. Dark is a better descriptor. Food was excellent. Calamari was crispy and tasty. Hummus was also good. For mains, short rib is a must. Tender and tasty. Also had the branzino in a tomato sauce. well prepared. Dessert was berry tart that came out piping hot. Delicious.

Great ambience with delicious food especially rigatoni with vodka sauce. Though quantity is little limited per plate.

A little bit loud sitting next to a table of loud people. Hard to hear even the person sitting directly across from me. I think the voices may have been bouncing off the walls next to us. But a beautiful setting.

The food was à la carte a little on the pricey side, but very tasty. Service is good and very professional. It was a little cool so they did have area heaters on. 

Opentable Diner

Beautiful restaurant with amazing and delicious food! A bit pricey, but well worth the money!

Lucy

There's great ambience at this place and the food is really good. Service is also good. The music is a little loud, but you can ask to be seated someplace where you're not right next to a speaker.

a simply fabulous spot for open air dining. menu was fresh and tasty, and the plates were served promptly just wish the music was a bit softer

Dana

Everything was great. The lights on the table made it really hard to see anything. It was hard to read the menu, the check, etc. and I have 20/20 vision. The lights were kind of blinding. Otherwise, a great experience.

Sanaz

Service was great. Food was ok, but the portions were very small and not worth the price at all.

My party and I enjoyed our dining experience for lunch. The pasta with clams are very tasteful. I wished I could have had “seconds”! Do not forget to inquire about their desserts.
