    The food and ambience are fantastic but it felt like they were trying to scoot us out the door from the moment we arrived. And as they were closing they literally asked us to leave - no grace period. I think maybe hire people who enjoy their job more and aren’t trying to scoot somewhere else so customers don’t have to feel that urgency too…
    Paloma VeniceResponded on December 7, 2024
    Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Heather. We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the food and ambiance, as we strive to make those aspects truly memorable for our guests. However, we’re genuinely sorry to hear that you felt rushed during your visit. Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us, and we’ll use it to improve moving forward. We’ll work with our service team to ensure all guests feel welcome and relaxed, even as we approach closing time. Hospitality is our main priority, and we’ll address this with our staff to ensure it doesn’t happen again. We’d love the chance to make it up to you. If you're willing, we'll reach out directly to see if you’d like to share more details or plan another visit—we’d be happy to welcome you back and give you the experience you deserve!

    When you are paying over $30 for a small plate of seafood pasta I don't think it is too much to ask for very fresh seafood instead of rubbery old seafood. Chicken Schwarma waas better (spreads, dips, salad and pita good, but chicken a bit dry, cold and underwhelming.
    Paloma VeniceResponded on November 29, 2024
    Thank you for sharing your feedback, Boise. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, especially with the seafood pasta and the chicken shawarma. Providing fresh, flavorful dishes is a top priority for us, and we apologize if this wasn’t reflected during your visit. Your comments about the food are concerning, and we’ll be addressing this with our kitchen team to ensure we maintain the high standards we strive for. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed some of the dinner, but we’d love the chance to turn this into a more well-rounded experience for you. Again, I apologize sincerely for you time with us, Boise, and will be reaching out soon to arrange a better experience for you. We’d be grateful for the opportunity to make things right!

    Great service, food was very good. A bit pricey, with one of those annoying 3% "benefits" surcharges. Our waiter did confirm the restaurant provides health coverage. But no other benefits. Lovely semi-outdoor patio. Great place when you want atmosphere, service and the ability to socialize with your companions.
    Paloma VeniceResponded on November 23, 2024
    Thank you for sharing your feedback, Mr. Jeffrey! We're thrilled you enjoyed our service, the quality of our food, and the atmosphere of our semi-outdoor patio—it's wonderful to hear it added to your experience. We understand your concerns about the 3% benefits surcharge and appreciate your understanding of its purpose. It helps us provide health coverage for our staff, which is an important part of supporting our team. Your comments about transparency are noted, and we’ll continue striving to make this clear to our guests. We hope to welcome you back soon for another enjoyable visit. Thank you again for dining with us!
