      Great for kids and I think (call and verify) they allow dogs on the patio too! The patio is KILLER, it's where you wanna be anyway! 👍🏻

      We just moved to the area and we love this place! The food is great! During Happy Hour, you can grab some delicious fried chicken or fried shrimp sliders for a good price. The extensive regular menu includes burgers, salads, apps, entrees, and desserts. The wood-fired pizza is well-balanced . Try the homemade cheesecake, made by one of the staff. She uses liquor that has been boiled down instead of sugar. Out of this world goodness!

      Food-10/10. Everything was fresh, seasoned perfectly, & cooked just right. The drinks were good as well. I ordered the kale salad with salmon and a side of truffle fries, Truffles are a must when in wine country. The other items ordered- the burger, the corn beef hash, an egg white bowl/dish which was healthy and delicious, and french toast.

      Service- Amazing! The owner was extremely down to earth and caring.

      Ambiance-heat lamps, nice patio. Great place to socialize with friends and loved ones.

      One of the best places to eat in the area, you can't go wrong with any option.

      We are huuuuge fans!! Forget bougie Salt & Stone; head right over to Palooza. Better food by far. The owner is a darling person. The wait people love doing their work and are always adorable and personable. We've had the kale salad with salmon, the risotto with salmon, the prawn tacos. I can tell you the last time I had better risotto was made by my Italian cousin. The salmon is to live for with its divine crunchy skin. The prawns are fresh fresh fresh. I particularly love the Moscow Mule, yummmmmooooo! Everything is fantastic. Go today!!!

      No notes. Everything was absolutely delicious from drinks, to apps to mains and super friendly service to boot. We started with the FRIED PICKLES since thats our go-to when on the menu. The best, the best we've ever had. They are so flavorful, have a great coating and pairs well with the yummy dipping aoli. Also ordered the BRUSSELS SPROUTS that were perfectly roasted with apples and browned kielbasa. They were topped with cheese and the wedge of lemon made them sing.
      I had to he ahí tuna nachos as my main and they were perfect, good amount of tuna, freshly fried wonton chips, pickled cucumber and onions and topped with Sriracha may and shoyu. It was exactly right. Hubs built his burger with an egg and grilled onions, perfectly grilled medium rare. Garlic fries were perfectly crispy and garlicky. Our friends had a super cheesey juicy french dip and sabroso fish tacos and we're both very happy with their dinners.
      Suzette, the owner, checked in on us and made us feel very welcome. They did tell us they were short staffed when we arrived but we did not feel shorted in any way. Our waitress was super friendly and she gave US great tips, like that they have all day happy hour on Sundays!! Tried to entice us with bloody Marys, um yes please!

      We have been dining at Palooza since it opened 10 years ago, enjoying great food and drinks. They offer an extensive menu where everything is made fresh. Today was the first time we tried the brunch. My husband had the Croque Madame, and I had the Brisket Hash. Both were delicious! There was plenty of brisket with the right mix of veggies, topped with a perfectly cooked egg. The Croque Madame is ooey-gooey goodness, served with quality ham and topped with savory cheese sauce and, again, a perfect egg. A special thanks to our server, Anthony, for making our time delightful. 

      We love to bring our two Retrievers along with us.
