"A tasting menu is usually the fastest way to turn a promising sexy night out into one filled with regret and Pepto Bismol. But not at Palma. This tasting-menu restaurant in Little Havana has all the things you need to set the mood: long taper candles in wine bottles flickering against smooth, bare walls, a quiet playlist that won’t force you to shout compliments between songs, and a dining room so dark you’ll feel like you’re in a cement cave (a sexy one). The seven to eight courses of light, seasonal dishes won’t ruin your tummy or the Settlers Of Catan game you’ve got scheduled tonight." - mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
