Our inspiration comes from the diverse flavors, ingredients, and techniques of Latin America.The goal at Paloma is simple: give people the best food and the best service that we can in a space that can only be described as transformative.

The food, ambiance, and service was exceptional. There was only one item that was sub par and needs to be addressed to have a remarkable experience. By arriving to a virtually nonexistent valet, the evening started off on the wrong foot. Fortunately, the rest of the evening made up for this. Because of the parking situation, I'd be hesitant to return on a busy night.

Wonderful food, desserts, wine and atmosphere. Perfect for a date night, and a great location before a concert/event in University Circle. $10 cash parking in church parking lot close to restaurant, or valet is also an option.
