"Just went here the other night and it was delicious. The waiter was very helpful with suggestions on the menu. We started out with an appetizer that was a fried egg plant stacked with lump crab meat, fried green tomato, followed by more crab meat. I would have never tried anything like this, but the waiter suggested it and I'm really glad I listened. The steak was also the best I have ever had. I got the porter house and the fillet side almost melted in my mouth. It is a pricey place, but you get what you pay for. It's an absolute must for people that an occasional fancy dining experience."

"Waiter was rude from the every beginning . We had a 945 reservation . We showed up at 945. We weâre seated and I stayed at the table while the rest of my party went to wash their hands . The waiter came to the table and told me the kitchen was closing and I should order our food and drinks for the people washing their hands . I was appalled . I said I would like to wait for them to wash their hands and look at the menu and the waiter gave me a huge attitude . Then he proceeded to rush us through our meal literally telling us to hurry up and bringing the food out almost all together . As we were leaving he told us to be becareful because Lexington was a scary place after a certain time. It was before 1045 pm because he had rushed us through a meal in less then an hour. It made no sense and none of us could understood what he meant by this comment . We were in town for business and this restaurant was highly recommended by a friend . We had planned to eat at this restaurant at least 2 more times in the week were visiting . I will never eat at this restaurant again. Totally unprofessional and miserable experience ."

"Very disappointed. Server had zero personality. Nachos were just ok, no salad, steaks were very fatty, only ate maybe of mine. We had coffee, she dropped the check and never offered anymore coffee. Super disappointing as we were celebrating my husbands birthday"

"it is called a diner, but it is more of a sit-down restaurant with high-quality eating (healthy, gourmet as a rich, comfort food.) I was surprised to see wein options in a diner, but as I said, no typical diner. I could find a hamburger with a gluten-free bread (hard to find in my experience.) fries were excellent. (I know I didn't say a typical diner, but ordered a hamburger, my diet requires minimally seasoned food, so hamburger was what I needed.)"

"The ambience food is really good, definitely go if you don't have a steep price. The hospitality of our server came with hidden costs. If he recommends dishes, he offered stubborn off-Menu specialties such as calf. After we had dined and received the check, we were surprised that the different menu items were $60 per dish. We felt cheated. The server describes the off-menu elements as ?specials? but never mentions the price. Price information from off-menu specials would have been estimated. Overall, this restaurant did not meet my expectations."

"I had my first dinner at Jimmy V's last night and I can't believe I waited this long. It was definitely worth it and I will be back for more. The steak was the best I've had since I left Texas almost two decades ago. The she crab soup was amazing. I can't praise my experience enough - the food, the ambiance, the service were all excellent. Definitely the best in the Triangle area."

"We've tried this place four times so far and have loved it each time! We've had the sushi several times and find it delicious, fresh and the presentation is just beautiful. We've also tried the miso soup, gyoza, udon noodle soup and the hibachi dinner. Everything has been fantastic. The prices are very affordable especially for the sushi and the lunch specials are a particularly great deal. The service has been wonderful each time as well. This is our new favorite Japanese/ Sushi place!!!"

"Delicious fresh salads. Chicken in my salad was well seasoned and delicious. Baked cauliflower in the other salad was equally delicious. My daughter and I will be back."

"appetizer ordered : Crispy Brussels sprouts: Description: honey truffle glaze, aleppo chile, parmesan gremolata.. waited over 30 minutes for the appetizer priced at $12.00 awful...burned..overcooked.. the server was very nice, explained ; they are deep fried. I ordered a side of Brussel sprouts and was charged for both... I should have sent the appetizer back, as it was not what i expected or enjoyed. the friend i was with only ate a few because he was hungry and we waited so long for the food."

"This is my favorite sushi spot in Excelsior. The servers here are outstanding and always go above and beyond. The sushi is consistently perfect and fresh. It's a great place to celebrate a special occasion or enjoy a casual lunch or dinner. I appreciate that they are open every day for lunch."

"We were longtime Palomino fans. Not any longer. Service was poor. Not terrible but not up to par for our past experiences. Our server knew nothing of the specials other than there was a special menu available. From sit down to meal we waited for 20 minutes for a glass of wine. We waited almost 40 minutes for entrees. This was shocking because the restaurant was mostly empty. Food was unimpressive. I tried the Halibut special fish was dried out and curled on the corners as if it sat under a heat lamp waiting. Risotto “cakes” were tough and reminded me of fast food. We won’t be back... better, more reliable places downtown."

"I was in this restaurant several times, but, always for get to click food pictures and check them. the best place to dinate with family or friends. one of the best places for Mediterranean cuisine. the ambiente is good. the best is that they get unlimited chai when they order one and its so good. ordered appetizer mazza, main course naan, roti with shimla wiper, paneer karahi gosht and dal fry. mazza was so delicious and was so nutritious. it had falafel-hummus-salad taste. naan and roti quantity is much too much so when they go in a group, they can share it. Shimla distributor was pretty sweet in taste and I didn't have fun as I like a little spicy in my food and I totally forget to mention when I placed my order. paneel karahi gosht was medium spicy and dal fry was thick in consistency and asked her to make it spicy. the gravur comes with pure Basmati rice. finally mango leti and chai."

"Great food with the family last night! Our server Madi was excellent. We chose a bit of a mix and fit for dinner with duck and small plates. My daughters tried a new food loved it! Wifey had Prosecco and I had the Carmenere through the glass. The restaurant was pretty busy while we were there, but the staff handled it well. We didn't even know it was so busy until we got up. That's how the staff smoothed things. The manager stopped twice to make sure we had a good experience. I highly recommend eating here!!!"

"Oh my GOD it was absolutely awful. I used a gift certificate which I had been carefully saving for a special event, and we went to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary. It took a very long time for our server to come to our table, and then the food ... horrible, truly. For the amount of money spent on this meal, I could have made us a magnificent meal at home. Salmon and cous cous was tasteless, my husband's burger was nothing special, so we got out of there as soon as we could once our meal was finished. Our server was very sweet, but because of the terrible food, we'll never go back."

"We have been dining here for a few years. Always great service. No matter what item is ordered, the freshness and flavor is wonderful. My favorite is the Salmon Niscoise salad but have had a lot of the menu items. You can’t go wrong dining here"
