  “My wife and I came for a date night on a Friday night during AZ Chefs week and it has to be one of the best meals we’ve had in Arizona and I’m a native! Mel was the perfect server to make our next extra special as well. He knew all the dishes and how they were made. The extra touch is that he knew all the sauces, as a foodie that was huge. The food itself was amazing, every dish better than the other. We had the sea bream and K4 Arizona Bavette along other appetizers. Everything was amazing, thanks Mel and the team at Pa’La!”

  “We had been here once before and I remember it was very delicious but I have to say there was something incredibly special about the new menu we tried. The sweet potato’s seem to be a staple and a complete must. They are sweet, salty, crunchy, soft, spicy and a beautiful reminder how simplicity done well brings so much depth. The steak and salmon we ate were seasoned incredibly well and cooked to perfection. We shared the mother's day special and it did not disappoint. The Jazz band playing behind us was not over powering and brought a wonderful ambiance. I would recommend this place to anyone and sitting upstairs was a treat. Thank you for a wonderful experience.”

  “We highly recomend Pa'La for dinner dates. We are always pleased by how different each dish is, each one with their unique flavor profile. We have tried the pork belly, grilled octopus, scallops, crab claws, shrimp, miso cod, and mussels. We have no complains, every dish is consistently seasoned perfectly. Our waiter Fernando was also incredible, his customer service is top tier. They also make a mean Paloma to go with your dinner.”

  “We were seated at 5:30 let our waiter know we had a show at 7 close by. We ordered starters and a main dish soon after being seated but our salads didn’t come out until 6:30, an hour being seated!! And then they rushed our main dishes so they came at 6:45 so we had like 10 minutes to eat. Our waiter was really nice and apologized but it was frustrating. My point of this is just to say don’t come if you’re in a rush to get a show or just plan more than an hour and a half for dinner.”

  “Pa’La Wood Fired Cooking feels lively yet intimate at the same time — the kind of place where conversation, music, and the energy of the room naturally come together. On certain nights there’s live music 🎶 , adding to the warm, convivial …”

  “Pa’La has been on my foodie wishlist for years! Finally made it happen over Mother’s Day weekend and it did not disappoint. You could tase the quality with every bite. We left feeling comfortably full and fully satisfied. I’m not sure how often they run specials, but we ordered the mother’s day special — they brought out six total dishes all designed to share. AMAZING. I’m excited to try their new location being opened up in Goodyear under a new name.”

  “I just had dinner here last night with my partner and wanted to share an honest review. First, I'd like to say I remember the place as the "Sky Lounge" some 20 years ago, when I would actually performed with a latin salsa band there on Friday nights. When I first walked in I was struck by the beautiful design. It is clear that someone put a lot of thought into the decor. We were met at the door with the sounds over some really nice jazz music. the hostess was presentable and professional. We were then taken up some stairs and when we reached the top the vibe began! The music was smooth and the bar in the middle was busy. We were taken to our seats and soon after our waiter came by. A tall man with a spanish accent who later told us he was originally from Honduras (sorry I'm terrible with names so I don't remember his name.). He was an amazing host all evening. Attentive, kind, courteous and professional. We enjoyed the service immensely!!! Then came the food. We order a few tapas that were delicious and then our main entree. The steak was out of this world. I had the pork and enjoyed it but wished I had ordered the steak (I not a pork guy but wanted to try it). Though they have an extensive wine list we decided the have cocktails and were fantastic. The desert was delicious as well. The vibe, the food and service were all high level. It's a bit spendy but worth every penny. I would highly recommend it for a date night or just to get together with friends!!!!!”
