   The food was delicious but flavors were all over the place. We got anchovies and crackers, a sweet burrata plate and bison steak. The food was cooked well. Nothing that I am dying to go back for I just think the food is not my style for flavor profiles. I found the dishes to be too sweet or too acidic. The balance was off. The waiter was not attentive and might have been stretched thin. We had to wave him down to order our entrees and seemed to forget about us. Overall a check off my list but will not be going back. The jazz band was a nice touch

   My mother and I were treated like queens, not because we are important dignitaries, but because that is the business model of this establishment. We will return, without expectation, but with confidence that it will be another exceptional experience. The venison, oh my, and yes it should be paired with the Malbec. Pablo, Jo, Gilles, Manner, and the rest of the lovely ladies that so graciously greeted us: thank you.

   Amazing night at PaLa w my love. Amazing service, and the jazz musician played beautifully. Was quite an enjoyable and sensual romantic night.

   We love Pa'la. Had a beautiful dinner last night for my birthday. The octopus and venison, artichokes and sweet potatoes were amazing. Our server, Jo was fantastic and super fun. Phenomenal staff took remarkable care of us. We'd highly recommend Pa'la to everyone.

   Beautiful restaurant. The Jazz band that plays on the weekends is what makes this place unique. The food & drinks were exceptional. I’ll definitely be going back.

   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.

   My husband and I have been wanting to try Pa'La for a long time due to glowing review from my husband's aunt. We went to see the Nutcracker downtown with my parents and decided to make a night of it. It was the perfect dinner outing, with the servers being attentive, helpful and friendly. They walked us through the menu and made suggestions as we needed them. The meal was paced out perfectly, where we only ordered a bit at a time. The Japanese sweet potatoes, artichokes and Argentine skirt steak were the highlights of our meal, but everything we tried was delicious. The ambience was lovely, and our group had a fantastic dinner before leaving for the show. They made sure we got out of the restaurant with time to spare to walk over to the Symphony Hall. We can't wait to go back and try out more of their menu, a really excellent spot!

    Poor service. My wife and I ordered 5 dishes for dinner including a salad and 2 appetizers. All 5 dishes came out at the same time. The food was mediocre overall. The most expensive dish, scallops with speck, was cold and undercooked. The brussel sprouts and the burrata salad were very good. But overall a very disappointing experience. Bad service, mediocre food and more expensive than warranted. We won’t be going back. Very disappointing.
