"Food is good but Palomino does not serve traditional Italian food such as lasagne or spaghetti & meatballs, etc. so if that's what you want you will need to go elsewhere. I've been to Palomino many times because it is close to work for special occaisions but the one thing they need to improve on is the incredly slow service. The last time I went my friend and I went unoticed for about 15 minutes before a server came to get our drink order."

"I find Palomino a great lunch option both for a casual bite with friends or a professional lunch when in Westwood. Combination lunches (soup/salad/sandwiches) are a great value and quality food. My only objection is the $6 parking, when Napa Valley Grill, across the street, is only $4 for diners."

"I have been a regular client of Palomino Westwood for many years and every visit brings wonderful food and service. However, my last visit, Sunday, 5/5/12, Cinco De Mayo, brought one of the best meals I have had there: Steak, Prawn, Crab, prepared in a fashion that was not only fresh, but absolutely fantastic. I followed my meal with the gorgeous bread pudding. I can hardly wait to return HOME to Palomino, Westwood.
Palomino will always be "special" to me as when I formally retired from UCLA fall 2011 my faculty gave me a dinner there which was not only the best in food and service, but the exact place I wanted to remember my UCLA evenings after work. Thus, I look forward every time I return there."

"I decided to try the chicken marsala. It was skinless and the surface of the chicken was kinda leathery, although overall it wasn't too dry or rubbery. I had to borrow my husband's steak knife in order to cut the chicken up. The dish overall was a little bit too salty for my tastes. Overall I probably wouldn't order this dish again. The steak frites and portabella mushroom soup keep us coming back. If they ever go, we're gone too."

"Palomino's thin, crispy crust pizza may well be my new favorite. Lots of delicious combinations plus excellent salads and an interesting wine list. Our server was helpful but not intrusive. You can have a much fancier meal at Palomino and it's probably equally good. But the pizza will bring me back."

"We love this place, and the food is really good, but the portions are very small for the price. A seafood louie should have more than two shrimp and a very small lump of crabmeat. BTW -- if you have tickets to the Geffen, you can park for free and get a free dessert when you eat at Palomino. One of the best deals in town, and makes for a very nice walk after a meal and a show."

"The food was prepared and presented in a manner fit for foodies, though the quality did not quite meet that label. Delicious, fresh, and nicely proportioned, the food was ample without being excessive. It was a Sunday evening, so they may have been short staffed, and the service was lagging. There was only one server for an entire dining area.
Grilled artichoke appetizer was filling, well cooked, and the dipping sauce was superb. Our guest had the mini wedge which was an artful presentation of 3 bib lettuce "wedges" chock full of blue cheese, bacon, and onion crinkles. Maple Salmon special was delicious, though the mashed potatoes were a bit heavy."

"Our group of 6 celebrated a special occasion at lunch. The atmosphere is lovely, elegant without feeling stuffy. The large windows give a pleasant light and openness to the restaurant. Everyone was very happy with their food, and there are several dishes that are reasonably priced. I particularly loved my grilled chicken salad with walnut encrusted bleu cheese. It was delicious! I will have a hard time returning w/out ordering the same thing. The service was friendly and very good."

"Had a really nice birthday dinner with a complimentary dessert (others have charged for this including Roy's). We were certain to sit far enough away from the energetic bar scene to have a quiet relaxed early pre-concert dinner. Had not been there for a while and had forgotten how pleasant it was. A pretty good value as well with iexpensive crkage fee of $13."

"Unfortunately, this was notnearly as good of an experience as we expected.
Our waiter was inattentive and was frequently seen conversing with other staff members while our table was receiving very little attention.
We did speak with the manager regarding the service.
Most of the food was good, but a couple of the meals arrived at the table only warm. Additional requests for sauces on the side were seemingly not addressed as the sauces never did arrive at the table. Many of the dishes for our party (seven individuals) also were under seasoned.
I had been there before for lunch and had a good experiecne, so this was very suprising."

"Appetizer was only so-so. The roasted garlic appetizer needed something. I asked for marinara but got their table sauce which was too sweet, an in literally tasted like sugar. Then my short-ribs dinner came out not even warm. And you know what it means when your braised short ribs come out cold? It means they weren't braising. The broccolini was over-cooked and the mashed potatoes were flavorless. Pretty bad night for a place I usually like. 100 bucks (two people) kind of wasted."

"We were a few minutes late for our reservation. The hostess was incredibly rude and said our reservation had been deleted because we were more than 15 minutes late. I told her that we were only a few minutes late and asked if our friends had already been seated. I tried to show her our opentable confirmation (under my name), my watch and Iphone to confirm that we were only a few minutes late. She refused to look and continued to ignore me. I asked my husband to check the restaurant for our friends. They had already been seated! We joined them and asked for the manager. He listened, but did not care about how his hostess had treated us. All he said was that he would speak to her. Fortunately, our waiter Greg was outstanding!!!"

"Jonathan is a wonderful waiter. He knows his menu and how to connect to guests. It made the evening! Food very tasty but the Seafood pasta would go better w/ a lighter pasta and the cod would be better w/ less batter. We appreciate the fresh bread! Ummmm on the tiramisu! Will return for another birthday celebration!"

"the only decent thing about this place is the atmosphere/decor. it's one of the few restaurants in westwood village that's supposed to be high-end. however, the experience doesn't match the price. the sauce for the complimentary bread seemed like leftover pasta sauce. we had to wait maybe 30 minutes for our simple sandwiches to arrive. when they did, the portions were very small (contrary to other reviews). strangely, there was a portion of a cut-out menu underneath my salad bowl, presumably to keep it from slipping. still, what restaurant -- especially one that's supposed to be high-end -- puts a piece of paper on your plate? bottom line: i will not go here again."

"Was looking forward to eating here but was disappointed in the watery grilled artichoke we ordered as an appetizer. My husband's pistachio crusted cod came out like breaded fish sticks reminiscent of my elementary school cafeteria lunches back in the 60's. The pork loin chop was mediocre at best, but I couldn't complain about the amount on the plate. Generous portions.
Good cocktails"

"I have been eating at Palomino since it opened, many years, and several menu re-designs ago. It has always had ups and downs. It is now in a deep down. The last two times I have eaten there, the food has been poorly cooked, and not very tasty. Thankfully, the portion sizes have gotten a lot smaller, so there was less of it not to like. I think it is time to take a break from Palomino for a while until they figure out how to fix what is wrong. This used to be the best restaurant in Westwood; now it is the fourth best in its intersection (Denny's takes 3rd place!)."

"8 of us went to Palomino for dinner last night - first time. Decor is nice, location is convenient. We ordered food and after over an hour we began to get restless. Finally we got the waiter's attention - back and forth and we were told that there was a major problem in the kitchen, they have now fixed it and our food is coming right out. 15 minutes later, still no food, but the manager came over with more bread and 2 appetizers - while we thanked him, this is the last thing we needed. We were now hungry, annoyed and appetizers + bread were not what we came there for. Eventually the food arrived - 2 steaks, 1 Paella, 1 Mac+Cheese, 1 Pork Loin Roast, 1 Chicken and 1 Pizza. So all the food came except the Pizza; mine!!"

"Good place for lunch. Mushroom soup was pretty good. Turkey panini was uninspired. Waiter was friendly but not very attentive about refilling glasses, etc. This is a pleasant, reliable place in Westwood Village. I'll likely go there again."
