Love Pa’La so much! Best fine dining restaurant in Phoenix in my opinion. Never had a bad experience here, food is always incredible. Brought several friends who had never been before and everyone was blown away. Great for vegetarians as well as those with dietary restrictions. We had one dairy allergy and one nut allergy and they were able to accommodate everything easily. Wine list is tops. Can’t recommend highly enough.

The moment you walk in, there is great energy vibe! From the bartender to our server, Ashley, we had great service. The dishes were amazing and portioned well. One of us ordered the Chilean sea bass, the other the vegetarian mushroom pasta, along with a side of Brussels sprouts. All prepared perfectly and delicious. Even as the restaurant got super busy--we were not "rushed" to leave, as we enjoyed our 2nd glass of wine after the meal. Reservations are helpful. :)

The roof top was not crowded on Sunday night. The view was great, and where else can you sit on the roof in December without teeth chatter. Monica was very attentive and interactive as our waitress. We hope to see her again. Craft cocktails were on point. Highly recommend the olive appetizer and the flatbread. Both were delicious.
