The initial atmosphere seems very upscale, but for some reason we got seated by the bar and TVs, which is NOT classy. It is a beautiful restaurant on the inside. The exterior definitely belies that. Everything we ate was delicious. Classic dishes. Limited gluten free options, but there were a few. Our waiter wasn’t horrible, but definitely struggled a bit with a good rhythm of checking on us/hovering too much. It wasn’t overly busy, but he may have had all the tables in our area, I didn’t pay attention to that part.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

On October 23, 2025, my wife and I went to happy hour at Paulo & Bill. We ordered a pizza and a charcuterie board from the happy hour menu. The pizza came out perfectly crisp, and the charcuterie board was generous and well-balanced. Robert provided recommendations and excellent service — attentive without being intrusive. Here is the crazy thing. We casually mentioned to Robert that we were staying at the hotel across the parking lot. I forgot my jacket and someone from the restaurant took the time to bring it to our hotel.

Came in on Valentine's, it was not very busy at all. We were early for our 8:30 reservation but we were seated immediately so that was awesome! Food was very good. Our server took our order and then we never saw them again. No water refills or asking if we wanted another round of drinks. We were planning on it. Very nice though. Overall not a great experience but like I said, the food was very good.
