Disappointed with our latest visit. Not enough options on the menu and prices were not justified unfortunately. We’ve been many times, it’s one of our favorites, but this time was not up to par.

Overall, Palma is a very nice experience. The food is very good, but not excellent. The prices are somewhat high and roughly in line with the food presentation and quality. But I found it slightly overpriced. That said, service was very good and the overall ambience and energy very nice.
