What People Are Saying About Palomino Euro-Bistro

In Short
With magenta-and-tangerine taffeta curtains, potted palm trees and a bright blue Matisse reproduction, Palomino is all upscale Vegas-style glitz. The bold decor fits well with the bustling room, full of aspiring "it girls," studly UCLA docs in scrubs and old-school Holmby Hills residents sipping dry martinis. A winding bar frames a dining room with soaring ceilings. A predominately American menu with European-influences features items like paella, glazed tenderloin of beef and pear-bread pudding.

I went during happy hour and I was very happy. Early happy hour meant I arrived around 4/5pm which isn't bad for an early evening dinner. They have semi gourmet pizzas for $5 and appetizers for half off. That was enough for me and a friend to enjoy on a college student budget. Nice atmosphere - classy yet casual.

I don't know what it is that people see in this place. I've been there a number of times, usually for business dinners, and I have been uniquely unimpressed each time. The menu is overly ambitious, with too much window dressing for the core of each dish. Prices are very high given what they wind up delivering on the table. The wait staff is garden-variety, unimpressive, and generally exhibits "attitude" towards the customers. Give this one a pass. They've figured out the pretense and the pricing but are woefully inadequate in living up to the image they think they're projecting.

We've four of us, ordering a variety of appetizers and main courses. All the dishes were no good. The taste of all dishes was very strong, probably because of all the spices and sauce added. That covers all the fresh taste of the food. It turns out the Paella was too sour (too many lemon pieces), the soup was too spicy (it's supposed a mushroom soup!), and the fish and scallop tasted without any freshness. Even the wine that we ordered was very disappointing. Overall, we think that this restaurant is overrated and we will not go back again.
