    Eating alone isn’t so bad when the server , Sergio is around. Friendly guy and last of his kind. Solid server that knows how to treat his customers. Can’t say enough about him. Only thing that over shadows him is the food. Wow!

    We had brunch on Sunday morning and they had a three piece jazz band that played. The band was nice to have while enjoying the food. The turtle soup is fabulous. We look forward to dining at the Palace Cafe when we are in town.

    Amazing experience and delicious food! Everything looked delicious on the menu, but I settled for the filet mignon. I was not disappointed. We had the bottomless mimosas. The wait staff was very attentive and the jazz band played a personal selection at our table. Highly recommended!

    There were 8 of us and the Revellion menu had something for us all. Not one of the group was dissatisfied with any part of the meal. Two meals of particular brilliance were the chopping and the roasted duck. The ciopino was all Louisiana in style and in flavor. The roasted duck in a grape blueberry confit was genius and easily the best game bird I ever tasted. An honorable mention and very honorable indeed was the pork chop which was thick delicious and tender. Randy provided an excellent night of service, knowledgeable and attentive. A very professionable waiter.
