Paletto Lounge

We have visited the Paletto Lounge several times over the years, and I am confident this is one of the best places to go for a meal. Today I had the Nasi Goreng which was Malaysian-style fried rice with chicken and prawns with red chilli, spring onions, sesame seeds and chilli sauce topped with a fried egg and honestly, I think I found THE one. It's incredibly tasty and I loved every bite! There is always a seat available no matter what time of day, and you don't need to reserve; you can turn up anytime. There is the option of outdoor dining too, but I don't think I've ever sat outside because the chairs didn't look exceptionally as comfortable as the inside chairs do. Speaking of chairs, I do think it's phenomenal that there is a wide range of different types of chairs, and it means that this can accommodate any customer; for example, my partner does have cerebral palsy, which can cause discomfort when sitting but there's a specific chair he can sit without pain, and that's a win in my book! The menu is provided via disposable paper, which is more hygienic than the laminated versions they used to offer, and the menu is very different; I would say it's more Mexican influenced, well Mexican and Spanish combination if that makes sense? You have the option of scanning the QR code supplied on each table to order your food or to go to the bar. If you have any requests for changing the food, go to the bar, as they can personalise it to match your requirements. The food I always go for is the Chicken, Bacon and Avacado salad which is, quite frankly, one of the best salads I've ever tasted. It's the right portion size, and I usually have a side of halloumi fries to compliment the salad. I've tried the other foods they offer, and the burgers are never disappointing, but the steak is sadly usually chewy, and it's unpleasant for me. The tapas are a small portion of food that is incredibly overpriced for what you get, but having been a customer here for a year, I've learnt to avoid certain things, and I've been a satisfied customer. There are three types of toilets here one for gentlemen, one for females and one for disabled/baby changing rooms. There is also a section of games for both children and adults, and they serve beautiful drinks and cocktails for any event. The only thing I don't like is at night, they dim the lights, which makes it hard for us who are dead and communicate through sign language. Otherwise, this place deserves a solid five stars.

I love the Lounge bars as the vegan options are fab. I met my friend for dinner. The staff were friendly, but I had to Google the vegan wine options at the bar as they didn't know. They were out of stock on a few things that both myself and my friend wanted which i found a bit poor. It was a Monday night, so quite quiet. We had a lovely time because we had great company and the venue was clean and the usual standard for the chain.
