Palomino celebrates it’s grand opening in Downtown Bellevue today! The restaurant, which opened its first location in Seattle in 1989, now spans over 9 locations, with the latest hitting Downtown Bellevue.
Restaurants Unlimited Inc. acquired Manzana, and within the last couple of weeks transitioned the Lincoln Square space into a Palomino. A representative for Palimino communicated their choice of Downtown Bellevue because they look for “Hip, urban, downtown communities with growth and development.”
Haven’t tried Palomino in Seattle? Some of the suggested items off the menu are Grill Asparagus and Prosciutto Brushetta as an appetizer, Asiago-Almon Crusted Sea Scallops & Braised Lamb Shank as an entrée, then topping off your meal (if you have room) with Chocolate Tiramisu. They aren’t like some other swanky restaurants that give you small portions, and leave you hungry. Palomino gives fair sized portions. The biggest compliment, after the first trip to Palomino in their new location would be the abundance of friendly employees on staff. We left with three new friends!
Okay, so the question that everybody has been waiting for…. “Do they have a happy hour?” Yes, they absolutely do, and it runs daily from 3-6pm and then again from 9pm-close. They offer 1/2 off all appetizers, $5 pizzas, and $4 on all draft beer, select wines, and cocktails.
In addition, the Bellevue Palomino is currently offering a “First Seating” special. For $25 you can enjoy a 3-course meal as long as you arrive within the time frame of 4:30 – 6:00pm.
Congratulations, and good luck to Palomino’s!
Cool. All I ask is that their burgers are as good as Manzana’s…. mmmm
I didn’t get a chance to mention, but their drink selection is fantastic. Innovative and fun!
As far as the burgers go… It looks like they do have it on their lunch menu.
Cheddar Burger with Pepper Bacon.

If anybody gets a chance to try it, let us know, as that seems to be the only thing people are going to miss about Manzana.
