I actually don't have anything bad to say about Paladar, as the service was excellent and the food was pretty good. It's just that the food didn't wow me as much as I thought it would. The appetizer (corn and chipotle guacamole) and my appetizer (some sort of smoked/spicy chicken salad-stuffed poblano pepper) were both too sweet for my taste. I wasn't expecting either to taste sweet, but they both had sweetness as a strong flavor component. The rum selection, however, is great if you're into that!
Again, the service was great and the food was a-okay, but I've been wanting to try Paladar for so long after reading other reviews and I was a little bit disappointed that it didn't meet my expectations as far as the food went.
