Palomino Euro Bistro Description:
All the requisite trendy-bistro stuff is here: exhibition kitchen, designer pizzas, California wines. The servers are as accommodating as can be. If you want a pizza or an entrée salad that's not listed at dinner, they'll be happy to oblige you from the lunch menu. Like the décor, the menu is Mediterranean-inspired (read: California, by way of Seattle). When the cooks get the timing right, the wood oven and grill can produce hits such as steak frites and garlic-happy roast prawns. Specialty salads are a good bet, though pastas sometimes fall short of expectation. Always good is the light, crackly-crusted pizza or the pizza crisps appetizer. Have it at the curvy bar, which draws a diverse and convivial crowd. The lounge area also serves food (off of a pared-down menu) until midnight. But this place really packs a crowd when the workday ends for one of the best happy hours in the city. If you prefer the dining room, go for an early seating on any day but Saturday and get a three-course meal for $25. Just be sure to get a glimpse out the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Fountain Square, if only to bring you back from California dreaming to Cincinnati.
