Paloma opened in 2022 in The Van Aken District by Carl Quagliata and Zach Ladner’s Q&L Hospitality.Paloma has been led by two remarkable young women who have been part of the Q & L Hospitality family for more than a decade. Alyssa Ladner serves as the General Manager, overseeing the front of house and the beverage program. She collaborates closely with Chef de Cuisine Ky’tana Bradley, who manages the kitchen.Originally launched as a casual taco concept in 2022, Paloma has transformed over the past two years into something much more sophisticated. While tacos remain available at the bar, our dinner menu now showcases a selection of artfully crafted appetizers, main courses, and desserts, with steaks being a highlight. Our inspiration comes from the diverse flavors, ingredients, and techniques of Latin America.The goal at Paloma is simple: give people the best food and the best service that we can in a space that can only be described as transformative.

    Excellent experience at Valerio's. Food was fantastic. Veal Osso Bucco was expensive but delicious with a capital D. The appetizer of buffalo mozzarella with marinated cherry tomatoes was very good and a nice change from just sliced tomatoes. Tables are pretty close together. Se,vice was excellent. Highly recommend. We will return.

    Wonderful food, desserts, wine and atmosphere. Perfect for a date night, and a great location before a concert/event in University Circle. $10 cash parking in church parking lot close to restaurant, or valet is also an option.

    We enjoyed our first experience at the Ghost Light Restaurant. Our server, Tekesha, was attentive, although it was obvious that she was overly busy. We had plenty of time before our show, so it was not an issue. The food was delicious and plentiful —I had the butternut squash soup and the fish and chips and it was so good. My companions had the short rib and the chicken and gnocchi and both loved their choices. I like the openness of the room and the absence of tvs—made for easy conversation and a more relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely include this restaurant in our pre-theater choices in the future.
