   We're so glad we discovered this excellent restaurant on far west side of Houston. They served the best Caesar salad we've ever had. The Penne al pesto and osso buco were also excellent. Service was impeccable. Palinuro is a lovely neighborhood gem.

   Our server, Jorge and his support-team, was terrific. Our table of four rated their meals as excellent to good. The drinks were good, but quite small. The wind was excellent. Unfortunately, it was beyond believe that the special (pasta dressed in the cheese shell and garnished with truffles) costed $70! It was good, but $70! I guess I should have asked.

   Went for Valentines Day and they had a limited menu with no appetizers, no small salads or soup offered with entrees. I had the Veal Ossobuco with polenta and it was just fine. Overall it was a simple average dinner for two but it was $150. We’ve had great meals here in the past. Their regular menu is very good, but we were a bit disappointed in the Valentines Day offerings.

   We had been there before, and the service was good, but this last time it was not as expected, probably because there were more customers than usual.

   Always a wonderful experience. The food and service are excellent. This is our fifth year coming back for Valentine’s Day and they never disappoint. Definitely will go back throughout the year. We love this place.

   Food was delicious, but somewhat overpriced for quantity. The service was rushed and very serious. None of our servers smiled but for one female who served our bread basket (which was very small). Unsure about returning anytime soon.

    Excellent food and service (thank you Jorge and team!). Pasta wheel with truffle, special fishes are absolutely unbeatable.
