About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for business meals
We invite our community to participate in a time-honored tradition. Experience food as a daily pursuit, a connection to ingredients as they were meant to be.

Pa’La is food with a sense of history, cooking in a way that is inherently approachable and human.

The kitchen at Pa’La centers around a hand-built wood-burning oven and a Japanese Robata grill. In our cooking we use fire, smoke, coals, and embers to create dishes that reflect the seafood, grains, and vegetable-driven coastal cultures of the Mediterranean, Japan and South America. We are committed to strong relationships with a few select organic farmers and artisans practicing responsible agriculture and production.

Because we source ingredients at their peak, our menu is continually changing. Each day we cook dishes determined by the best materials available.

    We had a phenomenal lunch. The specials for the day were all amazing - the Rose spritz cocktail special was a highlight. The staff was amazing - Brittney was our server and she went above and beyond. This place is a GEM!

    This place is absolutely amazing. Locally owned and all the ingredients are locally sourced so the menu changes often. We had the burrata and hummus which were so delicious, and the hummus was made on order. Salmon and Bronzino with Japanese sweet potatoes were to die for. Cooked to perfection. The manager Randy was attentive and friendly. Definitely new favorite place to frequent.

    There were 2 of us and we opted for the 4 course prix fixe with wine. The 4 courses were - Charred pork in lettuce wrap, Beef tartare, Roasted Branzino and Argentinian Steak . The dessert option is a little difficult for me to describe since I normally don't eat desserts but it was very tasty. Everything was delicious (my companion commented that the last time she tasted Branzino this well executed was in Rome, Italy so high praise indeed) and we decided that we would definitely be back for the 8 course offerings on Tuesdays! The "weakest link" was perhaps the Beef tartare which was a bit "mushy" and lacked definition. Typically this dish is served with chopped onions, capers et al with a quail's egg allowing a diner to "tailor" the taste to individual preferences. I personally prefer this "deconstructed" approach. Our server was very accomodative and was more than willing to switch out the wines accompanying the aforementioned courses. We will DEFINITELY be back!!!
