An Evening at Paladar!

Although the evening lasts for more than two minutes, our friend Day Benedict did a fantastic job capturing the essence of Paladar! Thanks to his expertise and generosity, we bring to you this quick video.

Autumn Table Settings

At Paladar, it's not just about the food. Every event has a different vibe - shaped by each attendee, the flowers, the lighting, the music, and the conversation. This picture was captured at a moment right before twelve strangers walked in - only to create a completely different ambience.

What will it look like when you come?

Stuffing a duck breast on a beautiful Saturday morning!

Sushi. Duck Leg Confit Risotto, Sushi

Although it may sound strange, the savory flavors of duck leg confit and wine risotto DO go well with Nori. We had a blast rolling these maki rolls and placing it next to more traditional duck servings - the pan seared and stuffed variety, as well as foie gras.

Menu for November 7th!

Our next event is approaching quickly, how about a sneak peak of the projected menu?!

Gadget of the Day: Kitchen Torch

What is better than the first bite of an indulgently silky Creme Brulee? Breaking through a perfectly crisp caramelized sugar shell THEN taking a bite of that indulgently silky Creme Brulee! That is why the Kitchen Torch is our Gadget of the Day - without the kitchen torch this beautiful and tasty outer layer would not be possible!

Hats off to the kitchen torch!

While we are signing our praises, let's take a photo tour of just how the Kitchen Torch gets it done

Cocktail Hour

With our next event just days away (5 to be exact) we could not be more excited about our latest opening cocktail....West Cedar Cider. In a quest to combine a fall fave (Apple Cider) with a Happy Hour fave (Spiced Rum) we landed on our latest creation, and of course it has a special Paladar twist!!
