Best Mediterranean fine dining experiemce. Great service. Exceptional food. Live music. It's such a fun and delightful time here. The food is refreshing to eat. Very clean eating and simple ingredients. Temperature of the food was perfect and presentation was appealing. Friendly staff really makes it that much more a great time. The atmosphere is intimate yet lively with the live music. Friday's and Saturday's is the time to dine and catch the entertainment.
Celebrated my husband's 50th birthday. Pablo was amazing we had a party of 9 with a toddler. He was very patient and kind. Food was a 10 out of 10 and the Jazz band was phenomenal. We will be back for sure.
I keep coming back for the creative, delicious meals and of course the live music. PA'LA delivers on all fronts for a great downtown experience. The servers are attentive and the jazz flows on the weekends. Get a table in the upstairs lounge for better listening! The murals on the wall and ceilings are awesome, as is the wonderful smell of wood fired cooking; PA'LA is a must hit!
The pork belly the pork belly the pork belly. Everything was good but if Jimi could do it agin he'd get 9 orders of pork belly. Only complaint was the bathroom stall door opens too closely to the toilet making one maneuver to the left side of the toilet (as you're facing it) to allow room for the door to swing. All is forgiven though because of the pork belly!!! Special mention to the Octopus too. 5 stars
We love this place! Oysters are top notch and they have a very extensive wine selection. Fresh ingredients and have not been let down. Friday night we are going for jazz night and another fun time!!
