Creator's Key Takeaways
I absolutely love this appetizer. It was my favorite bite of the entire meal. Highly recommend.
The octopus was grilled perfectly. It was nice and tender, good seasoning, a slight char.
My husband got the Mediterranean Sea Bass. It was even better than Leistro that we had the night before.
So final verdict, nine out of 10 for the Palomar. We had a wonderful experience, great service, great ambiance.

The Expert’s Verdict: Palomar on NCL Aqua The Verdict: 9/10 If you have a limited number of Free at Sea dining credits and love seafood, Palomar is arguably the highest-value "spend" on the NCL Aqua. Who it’s for: Seafood Lovers: The seafood salad is wonderful. Date Night: The bright, upscale atmosphere is much more romantic than the louder, high-traffic specialty spots. View Seekers: If you can snag a reservation during sunset, the floor-to-ceiling windows offer the best dining view on the Aqua. The "Angie" Insider Tip: Don't let the "seafood" label fool you—their steak options are surprisingly excellent. If you are traveling with a partner who doesn't like fish, Palomar is still a safe and high-end bet for both of you. Note: Confused about which night to book your specialty dining?
