My homegirl and I came in on a Monday night to escape the heat and have a late bite to eat. It was a seat yourself and luckily we found a table in the back. This place is mainly tapas and cocktails. We both ordered the elderflower spritz. I ordered the Albóndigas skewer and patatas bravas and we split the heirloom tomato salad. Our waiter Philip was nice. Our food came out quick and was very delicious. I would definitely stop back through for another nice light bite read more

I entered the restaurant through the open doors by the sidewalk and waited by the bar to ask for a menu to check out what they had to eat before deciding to eat there. When no one came after a few moments, I saw that there was a menu over by a server station, and I grabbed it and started to look at it. I was abruptly approached by a server/Host and he said "I see that you helped yourself to a menu from my server station. You crossed a boundary. And if you don't like the rules, I'm so sorry." I was stunned and knew right away that this was not a customer-friendly establishment and ended up leaving. It's very unfortunate that customer satisfaction and hospitality isn't at the forefront of this restaurant/bar. I have never been treated so rudely by a staff member of a restaurant. It was truly unbelievable. I can't believe he works there. I don't recommend that spend your money there. There are several other great places on Main st. We ended up at Nose Dive and our waiter was fabulous and was happy we were there! read more

My husband and I stopped by Paloma for a drink and a light bite prior to a show at the Peace Center. (So convenient as it's right across the street.) I ordered a whiskey sour, and my husband a smoked Manhattan. This was the best whiskey sour I have ever had. I don't often order them because somehow they always just miss the mark and my preference....but not at Paloma!! Absolutely perfect. I have forgotten the name of the lady who made both our drinks unfortunately. But I do know she takes great pride in her whiskey sours and with good reason! Similarly the smoked Manhattan she made my husband was really well done. We also had a light bite: the avocado & feta toast, and also the tomato prosciutto toast. So much flavor in both of these selections. So we really enjoyed our first visit both for the drinks and the bites. Highly recommend & we will be back! read more

The one thing that a service restaurant HAS to have is good service regardless of shift change! First I want to say that OSCAR the bartender was WONDERFUL & his recommendations on wine were GREAT. I ordered the octopus skewer but I did not realize it was fried...fried octopus becomes rubber. The sauce was very good and it would have been fantastic if grilled (of course my opinion). The small board was VERY good & offered a nice selection. The restaurant is beautiful and the wall-doors bring the outside in and it was a perfect day for that. Unfortunately shift change happened, I closed my check with Oscar as should be done, and was not looked at again by the replacing bartender...NOTHING!!! I would have had another glass of wine BUT rudeness is not something I tolerate or pay for ;( read more

Food was extraordinary. I had paella which if it's on the menu I get it. Beyond any I have ever had. Whole lobster tail ,and some of the best Spanish rice ever. My wife had the albondagos with the best sauce. Topped off dinner with 2 Taylor Fladgate 20 year old tawny ports and we were perfectly pleased. Our waiter JC was instrumental in creating g the perfect evening read more

While staying at the AC Hotel I came in here for a drink one evening. Service was friendly and they have a happy hour which starts at 5PM. I simply tried a margarita from the happy hour list and it was decent. They have a food menu, mostly Spanish fare and small plates. Not a bad place to stop for a drink while in the area. read more

Hubby and I had a nice time at Paloma overlooking the Fall for Greenville Festival. The weather was nice and we were close to one of the stages so we got to listen to good music while chillin' on the patio. For drinks my hubby ordered Glen Livet 12 and I got a mojito. I didn't quite enjoy my mojito as much as I was hoping. I was looking for something refreshing and it just didn't hit. I don't know why. PALOMA CAESAR Little Gem, Jamón Serrano, Boquerónes, Manchego, Croutons We enjoyed the Caesar Salad though I personally felt the dressing was a bit heavy. I did appreciate the shavings of Jamon Serrano, which was really tasty, mixed in as well as the server verifying prior whether we would like the anchovies on top, which the answer is yes and we did! That was very considerate though. I think a bit of cracked black pepper on top would've really brought this dish together. MEJILLONES Mussels, Chorizo, Garlic, Lager I love mussels and really enjoyed these! The chorizo and roasted(?) garlic were a nice touch. I'm not typically a lager fan but it worked here, not overpowering. ALBONDIGAS* Meatball, Stewed Tomato, Manchego I honestly didn't think these had a lot of flavor. They were still good but just kinda lacking that punch, maybe a bit of salt to help boost the seasonings a bit? They were good but could be better. DÁTILES CON JAMON Dates, Blue Cheese, Serrano, Aged Balsamic Oh these were delicious! There are no suggestions for improvement. These hit! CROQUETAS DE BACALAO Salt Cod, Tomato Vinaigrette, Caramelized Lemon Also very yummy! I'd order these again! Our server was great! You could tell she was really enjoying the day and brought that energy to our dining experience. Couldn't ask for better. We had a great time and the food was good. I wouldn't turn down an opportunity to go back. They were hopping busy and we still had wonderful experience! read more

wine selection is okay... the tapas are a hit or miss as well. Enjoyed the charcuterie with Iberco, the patatas bravas are also delicious. Server took a minute to get our order, but can't complain after that. Live music was a plus! read more

Last night I decided to try Paloma. Let's just say, it blew my socks off. When I walked in I sat myself and noticed LeBron sitting by himself so I sat by him. Our server was Gabe and he greeted us with the biggest smile and once he noticed I was chillin with bron he gave us the best service ever. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone! I also want to add that the food was gas. I got the burger and meatball combo. At the very end of my meal gabe decided to serenade me and sing me Feel no ways by drake. Best dinner ever. read more

I stopped by Palomo, right on Main Street in Greenville, South Carolina, attached to the AC Hotel. It calls itself a "Mediterranean eatery," -- it's really a tapas spot with a few Mediterranean accents. I started with a smoked Manhattan, and unfortunately, it just wasn't good. The cherry garnish was, honestly, the best part -- and that's not what you want to say about a cocktail. I ordered three small plates suitable for birds or those not looking to be rolled away in a wheel barrow. I chose a middle ground trying to follow the 80% rule of blue zone living. Pollo (chicken skewer with smoked paprika aioli): the aiolo was the star garnishing the taste of ordinary chicken. Croquetas De Jamón (potato, ham shaving, manchego fondue): good finish and great flavor, but way too heavy on the potato, which overpowered the rest. Verdura (bell pepper, eggplant, pineapple skewer): just skip it. Service was on the slower side, but the server was nice. It was plated nicely. A bit pricey but that's expected with downtown city dining. Palomo isn't terrible, I just wouldn't return. read more

We had been to Paloma a few times already and when family came into town, we brought them to have lunch. We ordered several small plates ( tapas) and we ordered a chicken & chorizo paella to share. The small plates : patatas bravas, mejillones, garlic shrimp, croquettas de bacalao were absolutely delicious! The paella unfortunately had no flavor and the chicken was overcooked. The service there is always excellent! read more

When I go to the bar and it's empty and they ask you for a credit card. Why do I feel like I'm at a CVS and everything is locked up like I'm going to rob the place. not a fun vibe. I understand if it's super busy. It would be nice if they would read the room. read more

Good drinks. Staff is cool. The menu isn't large but everything on it is tasty. 10/10 experience

Tucker our waiter was so awsome and kind. He gave great menu requests and a nice young man. Food and service was spectacular!

Food is always so good when we stop in for a few bites!! We love the croquetas, gambas and the tomato toast!

Next to the AC hotel, this bar/restaurant is delightfully yummy. The barista was very knowledgeable and knew what questions to ask us for our drink selection. We had tapas - papas bravas and burger and chicken sandwiches- both were amazing but the burger was my favorite. Recommend this place for nice drinks and fresh good food. Note our bread from sandwich was freshly baked in the morning. read more

Okay, so this is a great space at a great hotel, BUT: 1. The service staff is lazy. They have been standing around chatting. The only exception is my server, Tucker, who did a decent job but I watched him supplement for others 2. They wash the dishes AT THE BAR. There is a a rotating cleaner spraying into food and drink. 3. The bartenders are high. They smell like weed and are awful. 4. I got a bunch of food, all was okay with the exception of the mussels, steer clear, they were bad (make you sick bad). read more

Came here after seeing The Wiz at the peace center. The food was not great to be honest. Grilled cheese was lacking cheese...had plenty of bread however which makes for a very dry sandwich. Fries were way too salty. Black bean burger was cold and tasteless. Don't think I will be back here unfortunately. Our server Kate was really sweet though. read more

I needed a quick meal and this place was perfect. Outside covered seating provided shelter from the high temps and there was a nice breeze too! This restaurant is part of a hotel and I didn't even realize it. They have a ton of Gf and vegan options! The GF bread was really good. It didn't crumble and wasn't dense. The salad was just okay- kinda boring. The service was great, fast and friendly. Parking downtown can be tricky and I found a one hour spot which was just enough for grabbing a healthy lunch before heading to airport. Highly recommend! read more

I forgot to mention the fact that the whole time we were arguing there was a young, beautiful, black woman passed out face down and all alone at a table inside the Paloma bar. We had 6 people (the manager, the server, the barmaid, Jennifer-no business card S.- Assistant Supervisor??? and 2 Security Guards) around us arguing and not a single person worried about the young woman passed out inside their establishment. I hope she was OK! read more

My wife and I were excited to try the Spanish food, as we've made several trips to Spain over the last year. The tapas were decent (croquetas and patatas bravas), but the main thing we came for was the paella de carne. It was supposed to come with three kinds of meat: chicken, chorizo, and steak. It was missing the chorizo, which was the main ingredient I wanted, but the server (who was kind, though not necessarily efficient) didn't get to our table until we had basically decided we were done with the meal. All his manager offered at that point was to add chorizo (but we were done) or $10 off. Pretty disappointing for leaving out a primary ingredient. But overall, the paella was just not good at all. It tasted nothing like authentic paella, the rice didn't seem fully cooked, and it was very bland. My wife and I just couldn't eat very much. I will say that the vibe and atmosphere were great, but the food was incredibly disappointing. We will not return. read more

Really nice experience having drinks and tapas. We thought the bartenders were very kind and the space was very inviting and modern.

Short story: see all of the other reviews about not ever being served. Our group of 6 had the exact same issue. We sat for 30+ minutes in the lounge and two separate waitresses walked by us at least 3 times each and never took our order or even checked on us. However, they did take the orders, deliver, and give checks out to the groups 10ft from us. When we went to the bar to order so we could make things easier for everyone, the manager told us a waitress would be up in a little bit (as expected, that didn't happen). Our group was all dressed nicely and were sober so it wasn't like we were causing a commotion or being a nuisance either, we just wanted to give someone some money for a drink! You don't have to take my word for this place though, just see the dozens of other similar reviews saying the same thing. Don't come here... read more

Great spot for cocktails! I like the environment and the friendly bartenders. I asked for a grapefruit spritz, but at first it sounded a little too sweet for my taste. The tender of bar was kind enough to tone down the sweetness by substituting a little more gin. It was just perfect for me. I was there on a Tuesday evening and it was moderately busy, and I can imagine this must be a popular spot on the weekends. What a gem! read more

We sat for 30+ minutes in their lounge and never got a server. When we went to the bar to order they told us someone would come to take our order. After almost 45 mins we never got a sever and decided to leave. Do not recommend if you are looking for a place to get drinks. read more

Been here a few times and always have a great experience. Tonight I ordered a dirty martini and asked for blue cheese stuffed olives which Oscar made for me. Absolutely fabulous!! The shrimp tapas was very good and had toast to dip into the sauce. Nice touch! The hummus and olives had WAY to many olives in it. I thought it would be hummus with a couple olives to garnish. It was half olives and just to much. Ask for the olives on the side and it will be easier to eat. read more

Stopped by the Paloma for a drink before finding a place for dinner. Love the vibe of this place. It's a bar that serves tapas. I don't eat. I can only comment on the drinks, which were good. The live music was really good. The singer had a great voice, and the bartenders were attentive and made great drinks. What more can you ask for from a bar. It is located inside the AC Greenville Hotel. Apparently, they open up the outside in the summer and have a burger bar. Definitely would return. read more

Good place for live music and drinks . Food not so good. The paella was very bland and the Spanish Tortilla was tasteless , more like a red onion & potato lasagna. Nothing close to a Spanish tortilla. The soup also did not have any flavor. The Serrano ham and Manchengo cheese sandwich was decent but had no cheese. read more

Great place to stop and have a drink in the heart of downtown Greenville. Bar staff has always been super friendly a little slow. I love that the windows open so you can sit right outside on the street or still be inside. the wide variety of alcohol makes it a great bar and the drinks are always super fun and different. Perfect place to pop in and keep on drinking for the night! read more
