I had the scallops with beans and mushrooms. Tasted really good except my scallops were a little under cook for my taste. Others enjoy their dinner. Spaghetti and meatballs, parmesan chicken delicious

A Truly Exceptional Dining Experience at The Palm I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Palm, and I must say, it was an experience I won't forget. From the moment we stepped inside, the ambiance was welcoming and elegant—perfectly balancing a luxurious yet relaxed atmosphere. The service was top-notch, with the staff being both attentive and knowledgeable. Our server guided us through the menu with expert recommendations, ensuring we had the best experience possible. The Palm has certainly mastered the art of fine dining, with every dish crafted to perfection. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a high-quality meal, this restaurant is sure to impress. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience!

The food, service and atmosphere were all first rate, but the restaurant was relatively full and the noise level made it difficult to hear quiet conversation so we had to speak up at our table of four 

Great meal! We only had a short time for dinner as we were headed to a concert. The staff was extremely attentive, served courses at a perfect pace so we were timely but didn’t feel rushed. Food was delicious and plentiful. And it is SO nice to eat in a restaurant where you don’t have to shout to be heard. We carried on our conversation at normal speaking levels and didn’t hear from those at tables near us. Convenient location and definitely will be back.

We like exploring tapas restaurants since we don’t have one near us at home. My only concern was not seeing any listing under the “chef’s selection “ pre fixe menu. We still ordered it and enjoyed most of it, but we didn’t know everything we were served and had no idea what was coming next.
