Our Paladar

I had a fantastic meal and look forward to coming back! There's a mix of Cuban and Italian food, you'll be able to find something for everyone. Everything we ordered was delicious and I'd recommend:Focaccia and compound butter (mint and chive)Cacio e Pepe aranciniJerk chicken wingsMafaldeGnudiCaesar Service was great, we were provided helpful tips, food was paced well, and we were checked on throughout the meal. It was a perfect dinner out on the patio!

Interesting experience for me. I'm not sure how to describe the food and vibes but I can tell there is some Cuban and Italian influence. The service was amazing! The hostess and servers were so friendly and answered any questions we had regarding the menu.I ordered the steak frites and it was delicious. Also, they have mocktails for those who do not drink alcoholic beverages. I ordered El Floridita and it was good, sweet and spicy. Perfect for a date night, a night out with friends or with family. They have a bar downstairs where the restrooms are. It's a very laid back environment and I would like to check it out.

We were so excited to visit Our Paladar after hearing great recommendations. While the food was good, our experience was disappointing due to a billing issue that could have been easily resolved with better communication.We ordered Yuka Fries, the crab pasta, and oysters. The oysters were fresh and tasty. The crab pasta arrived, but the sauce was too heavy for my daughter to eat. I requested an order of pasta with butter and fully expected to pay for both. I also asked for the Yuka Fries to be remade without any sauce. To my surprise, I was charged for the Yuka Fries twice, totaling $28 for fries.When I spoke with the owner, he explained the second charge was because he had comped the pasta. However, upon reviewing the bill, the pasta was not comped. I want to note that I fully expected to pay for the additional buttered pasta, as I ate the original crab pasta dish, but being charged $28 for Yuka Fries seemed unreasonable, especially as the original toppings--sauce and lemon--were overpowering. Instead of taking a moment to review the bill and address the issue, the owner walked away without further discussion, which I found unprofessional.It's such a shame he escalated the situation rather than recovering it. This misunderstanding could have been resolved quickly with better communication. While the food was enjoyable, the attitude toward addressing the issue left us certain we wouldn't be returning. They must be doing very well to treat their customers this way.I hope this feedback helps future customers. Be aware that they are not very accommodating and will charge you for adjustments.

Yet another surprise find in Rochester! Here with a couple of friends to celebrate my partner's birthday and this was a great decision. We were seated quickly on arrival, and greeted by very friendly, and knowledgeable staff.The menu was an interesting mix of Cuban and Italian food. I will admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but what do I know?! I've been around a lot of Cuban food so I had high expectations for the Cubano...I was not disappointed! Everything we ordered was good. The pictures tell some of the story...the phone could not eat first! The drinks were also good! We had the pleasure of trying the bartender's new concoction and it was pretty good!Overall, this was a good experience. I can hear the yuca fries and plantains calling me back.

I remember going to this location when it was a different restaurant. Our paladar is a welcome addition to the place!! We had an amazing meal on a late Sunday afternoon. I was staying at the kahler and it wasn't a bad walk from the hotel to the restaurant. I love the decor and the Cuban Italian cuisine Our Paladar offers. Our server was super knowledgeable about the menu and had awesome recommendations which is always a great touch to the experience! I noticed how much attention they paid to the details of both the food and the dining experience even offering new plates and silverware in between the dishes.I was with a group of 3 and we got a few different dishes and shared. The cacio e Pepe Arancini had a great peppery bite and perfect crunch topped with a generous amount of Parmesan, the smoke and spice drink was delicious, also loved the patatas brava and the steak frites with the yuca which was also fried to perfection crunch but not greasy at all. The food was all so beautiful I was very impressed by this restaurant and would definitely come back again next time I'm in Rochester.

I had the Smoke and Spice cocktail with my dinner which was delicious! I shared the hummus and entree with my friend since the portions were big and pricey. The entree wasn't memorable but the hummus paired well with my cocktail. The main floor seating was a little bit too crowded for my liking as I could hear both tables conversations around me. Next time I plan on bar seating and enjoying the cocktails and appetizers.

One of three best restaurants in Rochester, MN. Cuban and Italian influenced food. The Pappardelle pasta dish was my favorite.

Acquaint little building very cute. My dinner was a Kobe steak delicious also tried the old-fashioned very very nice and I had a couple of appetizers. I'm in Rochester only one or twice a year, but I will be back.The staff is very knowledgeable about what comes out of the kitchen, so I ask them for some ideas

Great service. Nice ambiance, clean , decent food fun for something different, needs variety if you eat a couple times a month

Had a very pleasant time at the Palmetto Room, the 'speak easy' style bar in the basement of Our Paladar. Classy while still relaxed and casual. Bartenders/waiters were friendly and very knowledgeable on both the rum and the food. We were able to get the famed cauliflower appetizer even tho it wasn't on the bar menu. The cubano sandwich was great. As were the jerk chicken wings. We'll be back for sure!
