I took my girlfriend to the Minneapolis Palomino for her bday. The atmosphere was great and we really enjoyed ourselves. Unfortunately, we had to send her dish back because it was totally bland...completely unacceptable for this caliber of restaurant! Her second dish was much better. Had I not had this $20 coupon, I would have felt jipped from the place. Our meals were okay, but not as good as I would have expected for the price we paid. After the $20 off, I felt we paid a fair price for the meal.
Our meal:
Me: Spit-roasted chicked - rosemary and garlic, mashed potatoes, mixed veggies. (7/10 rating) = $17
Ceasar's Salad with capers - had a unique flavor but I liked it (6.5/10 rating) = $6.50
Beautiful Girlfriend: (First dish) Spinach pasta with feta cheese, marinara sauce, spit-roasted chicken - all baked together (2/10) - totally bland, sent it back!
(Second dish) Seafood paella - saffron rice, clams, mussels, Dungess crab, sausage (8/10) = $17
Greek Salad - olives, feta cheese, can't remember what else (didn't try it, so no rating) = $5.00
Total after coupon: $30.99 (w/ tax, not including tip)
