Editorial Review for Palomino – by Natalie Rieland
The Scene
The lounge area overflows with attractive people ensconced in appealing decor. From the sunken seats to the rare cream and burgundy marbled bar and tabletops, Palomino offers a level of elegance that Pittsburgh has been missing. Yet, unexpectedly, it's not pretentious. The glass windows debut a very different semi-panoramic view of The Point and the other Gateway buildings. The bar area bustles and large TVs make for a vibrant game-viewing place. Just don't dress down.
The Food
Palomino offers the flavors of the Mediterranean, with hints of French, Spanish, and Italian traditions. Though notable for its adventuresome seafood, it offers equally tantalizing options for the non-seafaring diner, including pasta, risotto, lamb, steak, pork and poultry. The grilled mahi is just as well prepared as the blue marlin dressed in a kalamata olive spread. If you have trouble deciding which fish dish you want, go with whatever comes with the heavenly butternut squash risotto.

We decided to have a pre-symphony dinner at Palomino and were pleasantly surprised! The cheese fondue was an excellent appetizer and the bread supplied with the meal had a fantastic rosemary flavor, that when combined with the homemade spread composed of kalamata olives, tomatoes, feta cheese, onions and a twist of lemon, proved better than most pre-dinner bread offerings. The wine list at Palomino is ok, but pricey. We shared a plate of paella which was fantastic! Lots of seafood, lots of flavor! We even saw Drew Brees, quaterback of the N.O. Saints at the table next to us! Overall, our experience was great! We've had some bad luck recently in Pittsburgh for dinners, but Palomino delivered above our expectations!
