Palominos Restaurant & Bar

Called ahead of time and got on a list. They were pretty busy but when we arrived they got us seated fairly quickly. The main dining area felt very loud, cramped, and chaotic. Luckily we were seated in the side bar room at a nice quiet window table. We started with the artichoke dip which we really liked. The half rack of lamb was delicious and tender although the sides left more to be desired. My wife got the risotto but immediately was not a fan. It was bland and lacking in flavor. Risotto portion was huge, half the serving size with a protein would be a welcomed change. She had maybe two bites and ordered a charcuterie appetizer instead which was predictable but yummy. Glad we went but probably won't be back for dinner. Would be willing to give brunch a shot.

We made a Saturday night reservation and arrived early, they were gracious and sat us right away. The server was attentive and helpful with suggestions. The food arrived very quickly and was phenomenal. The truffle pasta and risotto stuffed mushrooms were exceptional! Can’t wait to go back and try more!

The food, service, and atmosphere are wonderful at Palominos. I don’t have one bad word to utter about any of that. The food is really exceptional. Unfortunately when our groups entree came one of our group had ordered an appetizer for her entree and it didn’t come out timely with our entrees. We waited an additional 10 minutes for stuffed mushrooms to be served. We will be back, but I am very hopeful the timing issue will be resolved by then.
