Best Historic Restaurants in Surfside

Bruno was our waiter & he was excellent - very friendly & knowledgeable. We had the tasting menu & the food was extremely delicious with a beautiful presentation. The desert was one of the best I ever had. I would highly recommend the tasting menu. You will not be disappointed.

I’ve visited The Palm a few times. Very traditional venue and menu. Well delivered, though: Great food and amazing wine list! While our server was excellent and very helpful, there’s something about the overall experience that leaves me feeling a bit out of place. My wife and I, in our early thirties and not originally from the U.S., have noticed that the typical clientele leans older, more traditional. Unfortunately, this sense of being different felt amplified during our most recent visit. Despite our efforts to engage and enjoy the atmosphere, it seemed like other guests were given preference, making us feel overlooked. The host’s reaction — both this time and on previous occasions — came across as dismissive, almost as if we didn’t quite belong. This lack of warmth made our experience less welcoming, even though we had every intention of enjoying our time there. We acknowledge that we may not be the target audience, but we hope for a more inclusive and respectful approach in the future.

Grate ambience , service and excellent food, definitely coming back soon, nice crowd

Great menu options for a variety of palates. The crab doughnut appetizer was *chef’s kiss*. It wasn’t anything I expected - but in a good way. Our entrees were delicious and the shareable mac and cheese side (with ditalini pasta and bacon) was a meal in itself. A great experience overall!

We loved the singer and the entire experience. It was special.
