Last night, a group of us went to this restaurant for a Christmas dinner and we were not disappointed! We had awesome, specialty drinks, yummy appetizers, and delicious dinners! I had a vanilla espresso martini and their salmon with field greens and peas! It was a nice relaxed atmosphere and we all enjoyed ourselves immensely! Our waitress was amazing and very tentative and checked on us often! I would definitely go back! read more

The ambiance was very nice, and the staff was pleasant and welcoming. The salmon was excellent--cooked perfectly, moist, and flavorful--and was easily the best dish we had. The shrimp wrap, however, was disappointing. It had very little shrimp and seemed to rely heavily on overcooked bacon and an abundance of lettuce, which made it tough to chew and left it lacking balance. The menu offers unique flavors and creative combinations, but in this dish, there seemed to be more emphasis on presentation and concept than substance. read more

My husband and I finally tried Paloma one Saturday evening while shopping in Mooresville. They have an extensive online cocktail menu, and I appreciated that they had photos for each cocktail to help you choose. We tried the Love Potion ($14) and Golden Apricot ($14), and both were outstanding. We tried two appetizers - Burrata & Pears ($15) and Smoked salmon deviled eggs ($12). Both were really good, but the deviled eggs were truly exceptional. I loved that they added herbed cream cheese and smoked salmon to elevate their deviled eggs. For our entrees, we tried the Ahi tuna tataki ($16) and Hanger steak ($29). The tuna was thinly sliced, and served in a sauce mixed with horseradish. I wasn't a fan of the sweetish sauce, but the horseradish was a great addition. The hanger steak was cooked perfectly, but the sauce that they added on top of BOTH the steak and fries was a bit on the salty side. Regardless, my husband enjoyed this dish. Service was excellent. We didn't wait long for our dishes, and I appreciated that we could pay tableside via the Toast handheld device. Paloma is an excellent addition to Mooresville, and we can't wait to return! read more

Such a cool addition to Mooresville! I really appreciate the elevated vibe this place brings to the area -- especially the live music! I found the menu to be super unique and definitely appreciated the spin they put on some of the dishes (for example, I've never see roasted tomatoes on a burger nor purple eggs lol). I found the food to taste just decent honestly. I didn't love the cauliflower appetizer; I found it to be pretty bland and the cauliflower seemed undercooked. However, this place is still a great place to grab a drinks and/or food with a very cute vibe! read more

This place was very well decorated, low lighting (if you like to see your food, I would go a little earlier) the service was superb. We felt very well attended. There were a lot of food options, we couldn't decide. But the best dish was definitely the salmon. Rich in flavor and very well plated. Would definitely come back and try again. It was on the pricey end, but good quality and taste for the price. We came right before the dinner rush and it gets pretty packed for dinner, glad we were able to snag a table. read more

This place is cute! cocktails were decent, wine was yummy (despite a limited selection), and the food was good! I think i'll likely return again but since it's 15-20 mins from home, i'm not totally sure because the experience was good, not sure that i'd say great read more

I'm a sucker for deviled eggs...make them pink, top them with smoked salmon and herbed cream cheese...I'll take two plates, thanks. The crab fritters were a standout, especially dipped in that roasted pecan-honey mustard remoulade. The Paloma fries? A must-order, if only to taste all three of their house-made dipping sauces. The Bocadillo Serranito sandwich is loaded with Serrano ham, Spanish chorizo, and creamy burrata on a crusty baguette...so good, I'd 100% order again. Oh, and the cocktail list? Spot on. They even whipped up an off-menu drink based on my preferences - now that's what I call amazing service! read more

Love love love this place.... I can't say enough good things. Food is outstanding, along with service. I've been twice now once for brunch on a Sunday, I got the steak and eggs and a a few Paloma drink since they ate half price Sunday. Then went for apps and drinks.., all outstanding. read more

New restaurant let's start with the decor it's nice and clean. The food is very good we had the bao buns and calamari both very good. Everyone's meal was great. Service was good and timely. Now let's talk the issues they advertise there a cocktails bar the dirty gin martini tasted like olive juice I asked for an extra shot of gin and it made it better. I then ordered a gin and tonic and same thing tasted only tonic I ordered another shot and the drink was fine....ordering the shots helped me understand the issue in NC most bars use 1.5 ounces of liquor be lucky that in both shots that it was even close to an ounce. The prices are competitive so use the right amount of alcohol to make it right. read more

We enjoyed a delicious Mother's Day brunch at Paloma last month. The service was fast and our food was great! Recently, the Mr and I made a dinner resy and had another yummy meal. The shishitos and Brussels sprouts app is excellent. I opted for the firecracker shrimp wrap, while my husband got the shrimp and grits. Both meals were perfect. Really, the shrimp and grits were 10/10! The grilled baby carrots would have been better with a little more salt. read more

it's floral she said... not sweet, but floral after the dude took a blowtorch to my pretty purple cocktail and after the smokey bubble burst the lady nextdoor asked me if my fizz was 'sweet'? as if I knew... clueless, I slid it over for her assessment and after a sip she pronounced it "floral" I'd started with a house gimlet and moved into a pile of paloma fries and the lavender fizz because, well, you know... gin :-\ the barkeep has an honest hand and the pours are favorable so it's just a question of taste at this point and it tastes pretty okay. mostly no one here when I walked in but the day was barely over - high ceilings, a long J-bar with plenty of windows and warmth and light. the place slowly filled and stayed busy through two cocktails and a precautionary glass of icy waters getting a little noisy as the post-soccer moms met for wine and rosés and shareables. the acoustic stylings of chris m. filled in the quiet parts nicely with renditions of early stones, harry nilsson, and samplings of softer rock staples from my misspent youth. I'm short a slab of apricot glazed pork loin on a fresh biscuit plus frittata but with a nod to the man in black on a sodden thursday night: it feels like sunday morning coming down. read more

We had an excellent Mother's Day brunch at Paloma yesterday. We'd been eager to test it out, and the combination of the holiday and the debut of their brunch menu was a great opportunity to do so. We came away very impressed and will certainly be back. We only had one cocktail - a vanilla espresso martini - which was flavorful and strong. The chicken & waffles was incredible, as was the French toast. The pancakes were JUST very good. In tapas form, the plates were small so the total bill ended up reasonable as well. The service was very solid, and the manager made it a point to check on how everyone's meal was - which we appreciated. The interior was also decorated very well: an art deco aura complemented by live greens. read more

Third time dining at Paloma. It's a charming little spot with an interesting menu. I like the decor and the overall vibe of the place. They weren't too busy tonight, so I found it distracting that quite a few staff members were standing around on their phones and talking by the kitchen, unprofessional without a doubt.. In my years working at high end restaurants, even if you're not busy, you stay looking busy. That's protocol. My other frustrations tonight were that it took forever to get a simple glass of wine, again, not busy, bar was empty, in addition, I was craving steak and excited to see that they had steak on the menu. Unfortunately, when I requested medium rare, it came out way too rare. So I nicely requested that they refire my steak. Within five minutes, my server was back having not replated my meal, fries cold, arugula now soggy...she handed me basically the same exact plate. (Again, I've worked in high end restaurants, I know how this is supposed to go)...I'm assuming they stuck it in the oven for three minutes, but that had zero impact on how well the $29 steak was cooked. I guess I'm writing this to say that as much as I appreciate many elements of Paloma as a restaurant, it didn't feel that the staff at Paloma were invested in our overall experience there tonight. I didn't request my meal be comped, I didn't complain, I tipped our server well. Maybe it was just an off night but I want to go back and have my expectations met...I do believe they can do better. read more

We tried Paloma tonight for the first time and it was excellent! Beautiful interior with plants and well executed lighting. Gorgeous bar, curved to match the exterior windows. Open kitchen concept with cute furniture. Cocktails were wonderful, we tried the coconut guava Paloma and the Boat driver. For food we had the saffron meatballs with potatoes and beans, pork belly bao buns, and calamari. They were all excellent. Live the spicy honey on the calamari and the execution of the bao bun was great. Saffron meatball sauce was so good. Can't wait to try more things! read more

Paloma - Espresso martini, mimosa, aperol spritz - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Mooresville, North Carolina

Beautiful, lively, contemporary, fun. The menu is varied and interesting. The bao buns, chicken sandwich, and bocadillo serranito are superb. The cocktails are well mixed and delicious. The main downside is the incredible din in the place. All hard surfaces make for very loud atmosphere (you will not be able to hear your tablemates unless they raise their voices). Some acoustic tiles on the upper walls would probably help. read more

Great brunch on Sunday ! Varitey of Mimosa's and very good food. Wait staff was efficient and very helpful.

Finally the tapas place we've been looking for in lake Norman. The minute you walk in the ambience is reminisent somewhere in Miami. Every dish was flavorable and had a unique spin on traditional tapas items . (Highly recommend the calamari hot honey). Service was exceptional... definitely coming back!!!! read more

For a place that claims to be a craft cocktail spot, this wasn't that. The drinks were poorly balanced, there was one bartender who barely acknowledged us. The food was good, but the lack of service did not make it worth it. Ambiance was nice, as was the lighting. read more

My girlfriend and I went into has some drinks and some small appetizers. Went in around 4:30 and the staff was standing around and we were not greeted for 10 mins. Was not impressed with the menu. We left before our waters came. Would give this place another chance. Drinks looked great. read more

Great food and fun atmosphere. Had the salmon and it was amazing. My husband had the spicy pepperoni flatbread and said it was good. Will definitely be back. read more

It was fabulous. Excellent food and the entertainment on the deck was great too. Would highly recommend

This place cooks all of their food in canola oil for the price of the food you would think that they would actually know how to make real food and use things like butter or olive oil they charge you for sauces like it's some super fancy high in restaurant. The food is mediocre at best. The ambience is great. It's absolutely beautiful inside but other than that the food is a big letdown. read more

Great vibes ... music was loud though. Food and drinks were great. Service was exceptional.

This place is so cozy! has a great atmosphere with delicious cocktails and small bites. It's nice to have a place like this in Mooresville and not have to drive all the way to Charlotte to get something like this. Try the espresso martinI, it's delightful! read more

Beautiful restaurant inside. Though we chose outside because of nice weather. Very disappointed in the food. Paloma drinks were good. Service was ok. Really wanted to like this place. read more

Great new spot in Mooresville. The atmosphere and music choice was great, felt very Miami. We enjoyed the salad and grilled shrimp wrap. Cocktails were good but little pricey for the area. All in all a good spot and can't wait to go back. read more
