The ambiance is described as cozy yet energetic, with a terrace that many enjoy and a staff described as friendly, attentive, and professional. The overall impression across reviews is that Palomar offers a memorable seafood experience with high quality, a unique market-to-table concept, and strong value for seafood lovers who want to explore fresh catches and inventive preparations.
Nous avons été très satisfaits de notre repas.Le pain perdu au homard est délicieux. La charcuterie de la mer est une très bonne découverte. Très bon dessert du jour. Nous nous sommes régalés.
La salade César est extraordinaire mais mon fish a d ship était humide mou & sans sauveur. De plus il y a une odeur de poisson constante qui n est pas très agréable.
Delicious & original food, at each step: from « poissons affinés « as you do with good cheese, i.e. the fish is not iced but rather kept in special fridges, to the preparation, for instance fish charcuterie, to the presentation (see the Cesar salad, with marinated anchovies). Everything was just perfect & the owner or manager, I don't know, was extremely knowledgeable, explaining the whole process. A wonderful experience, at very reasonable price. Highly recommended

Excellent poisson dans le fish & chips & prix très abordables. Très bon & surtout très frais. Excellente variété de vin. A retourner. Service très courtois.
Franck looked after us tremendously today. Beautiful ambiance inside & out. We ordered the 2 daily specials. Salmon gravlax salad & fresh pasta from market. Both were fabulous & nice choice of wines. Merci Franck!!
