    The service was excellent—-what you would expect from a higher end restaurant in Santa Fe. The psalm Christina is awesome. She really knows her wines. Her pairings for us were excellent. Each of us had something different from the menu. Nothing was less than anticipated. The meats were cooked to perfection. The seafood was wonderfully prepared so that you can still taste what you were eating.. The remodel worked out the noise level in the main dining room. It was enjoyable and a lovely setting we were told about a new bar that’s going in for the summer. We can’t wait to experience that too.

    We sat at the bar to have drinks and dinner before a concert, and as always were treated so well. The wine and food were amazing and we had fun. We highly recommend this restaurant.

    Three of us are at Palace Prime last night as part of restaurant week. We all got the optional wine pairing as well. We really appreciated the sommelier delivering the wines and presenting each one to us with a description. The standout dinner item was the pork cheeks and the desserts. Servings were a tad on the small side and the mojo shrimp needed salt, but otherwise flavors were good. We asked for some bread to eat with shrimp (to soak up the yummy sauce) and got three small pieces of grilled sourdough. When the bill came, we saw that they charged $7 for that bread, which was a disappointment. All in all, it was a lovely evening and we would go back.

    The dining room is very red but very comfortable. I was here during Restaurant Week and the restaurant was busy. The service by Benjamin was attentive and friendly. I started with Mojo shrimp, followed by Steak au poivre and French fries. Dessert was homemade (?) sherbet in the flavors of mango,, coconut and raspberry. The tastes of the food was delicious and the atmosphere friendly and helpful. I’m glad I ate there and will visit again.

    This was our second visit to Palace Prime, and while I hadn’t had the opportunity to review our first experience, I found it to be quite impressive. We came in to celebrate a birthday, and although our reservation details were a bit unclear, Aaron was very accommodating and secured us a great seat in the lounge. Tess provided excellent service throughout the evening. One observation I noted, which is common in many restaurants in Santa Fe, is that if they’re not busy, they tend to start winding down operations before their official closing time. This was the only slight downside to our experience. We made a last-minute dinner reservation for 5 o’clock on a Saturday, which is a peak time in Santa Fe, and I was pleased with how everything unfolded. From the front to the back of the house, the service was exceptional. Daniel, our server, was attentive and knowledgeable, while Christine, the wine sommelier, went above and beyond. She helped us navigate a challenging situation caused by a lively party behind us by moving our table slightly and bringing us a lovely glass of champagne, which was a thoughtful touch. We were pleasantly surprised by the Restaurant Week menu, which had offerings we genuinely enjoyed, along with excellent wine pairings. The restaurant's layout and atmosphere were appealing, and the quality of both the food and service was top-notch. I highly recommend Palace Prime and also heard they offer a nice happy hour. Thank you for making our evening special!
