- SSuzanneEast Texas •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoSplendid place for our small group Christmas luncheon. Restaurant was prepared in advance when our group arrived. Wait staff were friendly, courteous, attentive, and answered (or found out the answer) to all questions including those about food allergies. Everyone's food came out promptly and was well prepared. Rave reviews form all group members. I had warned the group that it might be a little pricy but several said that it was not any more pricy that other fine restaurants and was a good value for the money spent. Good Job!More infoIII PalmsPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Tyler•4.6
