   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.

    What a hidden gem Palinuro is. Our first time and the experience was excellent. Our server Roberto was knowledgeable, timely and kind. The food was amazing. Fresh and hand made - not chain food. The only feedback I’d give is so minuscule - but the yellow walls seem jarring - I’d go darker and moodier since the main dining room has no windows. And dinner for two with all courses was $300 with tip - a special place as a treat. we really enjoyed our dinner experience.
