Went to Palo Verde for the first time with some friends visiting from Chicago. We were looking for a new place and based on the menu we decided to give it a try. The overall ambiance is lacking. The artwork on the walls were some photos for sale of random places which seemed odd. Also, the vibe was pretty nonexistent as there were very few tables occupied.
Our server gave insights on the menu which we appreciated her honesty. However she didn't write down our order so we didn't get the octopus appetizer which we requested based on her recommendations. The scallops and filet were fine but overpriced for what we received. Three scallops seem pretty skimpy for the price. Service was slow. We had mentioned we needed to leave at a certain time and it took over an hour from the time we sat down to getting our entree and we were not overly slow in ordering.
We didn't even mention the starter not coming because we needed to leave but I am nonot a fan of servers who think they can remember everything. I will chose to take my $ somewhere else as the value definitely isn't here.
