  • On our way to dinner next door at The Brickyard, we decided to detour and try Las Palmas. The space is completely transformed from the previous Vintage 95, with decor that my wife dubbed "Southern California hotel"--bright, airy and simple. Asked if we'd rather sit inside or outside, we opted for the rear "deck," which we didn't realize meant a separate, more limited menu from inside seating. The back deck has a nice beach vibe to it, but unfortunately elevating it a couple of feet above ground level means a particularly good view of the piles of trash around the dumpsters out back. The server was quick and always attentive. My wife ordered a margarita, and I picked a Pedal Haus IPA. The beer was good, but the margarita came with no more than an inch of the glass rim salted ("Isn't that bartending 101?"), and the drink itself was nothing special. For food we ordered the guacamole, street corn, and an order of mahi tacos. While we waited chips and salsa arrived, but proved to be the next disappointment. It had little more flavor than tomato puree. When the food came out, it looked great. Very nice presentation. The street corn was fine but unremarkable, and the guacamole, like the salsa, lacked any strong flavor except the sweetness of the pomegranate seeds sprinkled on top. Again, disappointing. The evening's final disappointment were the tacos. I've eaten a lot of fish tacos. I've never had mahi battered and deep fried. It could have been some generic white fish for all I could tell. I guess I should have read the menu more closely, because I assumed the mahi would be grilled, not turned into fish sticks. I know that they just opened, so it may be a little unfair to judge. Normally issues with a new restaurant are more about working out the kinks in the service than in the recipes themselves, but the service was excellent. There was simply nothing that we drank or ate that makes us want to go back. It felt like another restaurant where all of the attention went into the aesthetics of the space and the food presentation, and not enough into the flavors of the food. Nothing was bad, but everything was disappointing.
