Jonah and I went to North Paloma, the holiday pop-up at Paloma Bar de Tapas on the 10th floor of The Westin Chattanooga. It was our first time up there, and the sunset views were insane. By the time it got dark, all the Christmas lights were reflecting in the windows. I’d go a little before sunset so you get to see both.

What we ordered

  • Hamburguesas de Wagyu — 10/10. No notes. The Wagyu sliders were my favorite and the first thing I’d order again.
  • Tacos de Pescado, with chicken swapped in — 9/10. We tried them with chicken instead of fish, and I’d get them that way again.
  • Potato and cheese croquettes — 7/10. Fried mashed potatoes with Boursin? I was sold on the idea. I’d still get the sliders first.

What we drank

I went for the warm Paloma Coffee, which felt right with all the Christmas decorations. Jonah tried two takes on an Old Fashioned: one with bourbon and one with tequila.

Would I go back?

Yes. If you’re looking for a holiday date night in Chattanooga, I’d get there before sunset, grab a seat by the windows if you can, and split the sliders. The pop-up is seasonal, so check Paloma’s official site for visit details before you go.
