Service was great. Atmosphere is nice, and looks great. Food was just very, very bland. Ordered 4 completely different appetizers and everything tasted the same. Drinks were great though. One of the best espresso martinis I’ve had!

The idea was terrific, however the execution was poor. Too crowded, too loud, understaffed. The advertisement stated that tapas would be served by roving staff - that only happened twice while I was there (over one hour)! Food was placed in a way too confined area making access difficult . I was able to get two wings as everything else was gone by the time I could access the serving area. Again, the idea was great but if done again needs revamping!

The food was amazing especially the oyster selection which we had a sampling of multiple grilled. The steak was cooked to perfection. Our server, Josh, was the best! He was attentive and went above and beyond to accommodate and make it a delightful experience for my daughter’s birthday. I would strongly recommend this restaurant and will be back.

The venue was quite warm. Service slow and disorganized. Cost of food was over priced. Took approximately an 30 minutes for drinks and an hour to get the food. Would not go back again given what I experienced.

We would have gone sooner if we realized that the rebranding of Our Palafox to Old Palafox was not a subtle name change but rather an entire changing of the guard. We tried multiple small plates and entrees and enjoyed every one. The waiter was experienced and attentive. The bartender came and chatted with us and tested out some new cocktail concepts to get some feedback. Complimentary bread pudding was NOT in the plan, but it was absolutely delicious.
