    The food was delicious but the portions were small and the prices high. Our bill was nearly $200 and neither of us were full by the end of the meal. Everything is apparently designed to be shared but the portions are not up to par.

    We loved our Valentine’s date here - it exceeded our expectations. Get the octopus and the blood orange cake. Grant was an exceptional server and the staff overall was so friendly and welcoming. We will for sure be coming back!

    We had a wonderful time at Pa La and will definitely go back. We loved the Spanish style and dynamic atmosphere. The service was REALLY good. The food was very flavorful and well prepared. The only reason for not giving 5 stars on the food is that my Cod had quite a few bones in it, and was not really hot when served. The wine list was outstanding. Lots of different wines from all over the world and a great French selection which is often hard to find in Phoenix.

    Great food, awesome music with random guests/regulars I’m assuming. Pork Sirloin was amazing. The flan for dessert threw me off, overall great experience. With the plates were just a little bigger for the price. That’s it.

    Cocktail service was pretty slow. But the food was phenomenal. Ribeye and oysters were 10/10.
