Absolutely amazing! Kitchen table Chefs Tasting Menu was fantastic. You are in the kitchen as they prepare your meal, but that have created a much more “homey” style kitchen rather than the traditional commercial kitchen. The food and explanation of the menu as you eat is fantastic! The Mezcal selection is amazing as well. If you don’t rent out the whole table (8 guests I think) you will be seated with others which could be good or bad depending on your luck. I would rent out this table for a group in a heartbeat and enjoy a night of cocktails and amazing food. I will 1000% be going back. Maybe try the main dining room and traditional experience, but that will be hard since I know what the kitchen holds for its guests. I can tell why he won Beard Awards.

Great food, wonderful server. Only complaint is the amount of fajita meat in a serving has decreased and is not a good value.

Great food So just a heads up I put a note on our reservation that it was my Wife's birthday. Its a question that the app asks, ie any special occasion we should be aware of. So I put that in there, but nothing happened, so either the restaurant doesnt get the special notes, or ignores them. Not sure, but it would have been nice to have something special happen. We'll still be back to Paloma its a great restaurant
