The Palms

High quality, great food, awesome servers. We went for lunch on a Friday so it wasn't too busy. We tried a few appetizers, meals, and desserts. Everything tasted amazing! The food portions are huge, you will not leave disappointed. We thought we were too full for dessert but really wanted to try some things so we went for it and I'm so glad we did! The presentation was absolutely beautiful! Both the bread pudding and pumpkin cake were to die for! You MUST get some when you visit. Our server was attentive and checked on us at the right times for refills or removing plates. Overall, the whole experience was wonderful I can't wait to go back!

Definitely a great place to have food, everything we ordered tasted fresh and delicious, our waitress Sarah will go as the first waitress who was able to open my wine without breaking the cork, even when I know she is also the bartender its also impressive to have someone finally open an old bottle of wine and not breaking the cork. She was also very attentive and great. My friend and I felt welcome and definitely a place we can see ourselves coming back, my friend also was able to get her steak that wasn't on the menu anymore and cooked as she wanted, and my ribeye was also good and cooked exactly as I ordered it. Overall I recommend this place.

✨🎉 Last night, we had the absolute pleasure of celebrating my amazing mother’s birthday at The Palms Restaurant — and wow, what an unforgettable experience it turned out to be! We honestly didn’t expect such a wonderful evening — the food was absolutely delicious, the drinks were perfect, and the ambience was just beautiful. Everything came together in the most special way. A huge thank you to the owners for going above and beyond to make this day so meaningful. My mother said it was “one of the best birthdays she’s ever had in her life” — and I couldn’t agree more. Your kindness and hospitality truly made all the difference. And of course, a special shout-out to Mr. Ed, the piano player for the heartfelt birthday songs — it brought so much joy and made the night even more magical. 🎶💐 We’ll remember this evening forever. 💖

An absolutely exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The food was nothing short of extraordinary—beautifully presented, rich in flavor, and clearly crafted with care and expertise. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and truly indulgent. The service was equally impressive: attentive, professional, and warm without ever feeling rushed. A special thank-you to our server, Knarik, who truly elevated our evening. Knarik was knowledgeable, gracious, and perfectly attentive, making us feel welcomed and well taken care of throughout the entire meal. To top it all off, the ambiance was stunning—elegant, refined, and inviting, with a beautiful atmosphere that made the evening feel special and memorable. This restaurant is the perfect combination of exceptional cuisine, outstanding service, and a gorgeous setting. We can’t wait to return and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly upscale dining experience.

It was a very pleasant experience. The food was really good, the service was excellent. We had appetizers, salad, entrees and desserts… they were all outstanding!!!

July 31st I celebrate my birthday the staff was great the atmosphere was great and the food was extremely delicious. I would definitely go back. Next time I will be there for lunch

Amazing restaurant great service. The ambiance was inviting, with soft lighting and tasteful decor that created a warm atmosphere. Each dish was expertly prepared, showcasing a blend of flavors that delighted the palate. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that every need was met promptly. Overall, it was an unforgettable dining experience that left us eager to return.

Without reservations I called to be safe Devin is the one who assisted me on the phone she was super nice and found a time to work for me ! As I arrived the wait time was a little more than expected for a Monday night, the food was great the atmosphere was great the waiter let us know the menu options and was very knowledgeable of the food. Drinks were perfect ! Really recommend this place and would definitely Will be back !

Came here as part of a large group and had our meal coursed throughout the night. I tried the bruschetta, the beet salad, the salmon plate, and a drink. The bruschetta was nothing special and was a little on the bland side. The beet salad had an odd texture because it was shredded but it was also very fresh. The cheese bruschetta that came with it was delicious. The salmon was also a little on the bland side, but it was topped with some spices that I found a bit more on the jarring side. The veggies and mashed potatoes were good though. The pumpkin cheesecake was delicious and topped with a chocolate drizzle. The server was attentive and helpful, especially for our large group. The mains here are around the $40-70 range.

The palms is a Fresno classic I had been wanting to try for some time and kept forgetting about, now that I've gone I don't think I'm dying to go back I felt as though the experience was just ehh. Our bartender/server was so sweet and very attentive, no complaints there. The food was just ehh. I had the salmon. I feel like there's so many more new restaurants giving the older ones some major competition. I appreciate the atmosphere for what it is but do think it could use some updating. Overall, the experience wasn't bad but I felt as though there are other places I'm more interested in.

I had been wanting to try The Palms and finally went for lunch on Friday with some co-workers. We had such a wonderful experience! Our server, Tvin, had amazing recommendations so we took her advice on what to try. We tried some appetizers; Hummus and egg rolls, and both were delicious! The portions are big so plenty for sharing. For main entrees, we got the Panko Chicken, Chicken Club Sandwich, and Halibut Tacos. Everyone enjoyed their entrees but we had to save room for dessert. Dessert exceeded my expectations by far! The presentation was beautiful and the flavor delicious. We had the Bread Pudding and Pumpkin Cheesecake. Highly recommend everyone trying the dessert! Our server was amazing and fully attentive with refills and checking on us. We had a great time and definitely want to go back!

I thought the appetizers were honestly better than my main meal. I forgot what I got but the plating is great, just not a great taste. I would reccomend the babaganoush though! Interior is also pretty as well

We went to this restaurant on a whim because they had last minute availability for 6 people and wow! Food was fantastic. Beautiful and unique restaurant. Great service. Nice portions, great quality food. Cocktails are delicious as well. Service was great, Cassandra took great care of us. We all absolutely loved the ahi tuna and short ribs, so much flavor. The steaks with all their sauces are amazing. Especially the peppercorn. Sides we enjoyed, the mushroom sweet pea risotto, three cheese stuffed twice baked potato, crabcakes and wild mushroom chicken spring rolls. Cesar salad, and oysters were great too! Absolutely can't wait to come back here.

If I could give this a more accurate rating, it would be closer to 3 1/2 stars. The staff was great and it was easy to set up this reservation for our group of 13. However, the food didn't hold up to the fine dining standards. We started with drinks and appetizers, which were very good. We did crab cakes (which was a special), calamari and bruschetta. However, when we got to the entrees, that's where it went downhill. Five of our group ordered the filet and two the ribeye. Of the seven, 4 weren't cooked correctly, two under and two severely over. The two family members that asked for medium rare received well done. My stepson ordered chicken and quietly today my wife late last night that his was undercooked and he wasn't feeling very good. I got the boneless pork chops which were cooked correctly and had great flavor, but weren't visually appealing. My mom ordered their special, which was the Petrale sole with shrimp and that was good. We finished it off with the bread pudding and baklava, which were both excellent. As for the beef, our server Sara did notice my brother having an issue with the well done ribeye and offered to fire up another, but because this was my mom's first birthday after my dad's passing, he declined just so the evening could go smoothly. All in all, there were good and bad things, but when you pay over $60 for a steak, you expect them to be cooked correctly.

We had our 36th wedding anniversary dinner here, we wanted to try somewhere different and what a pleasant surprise it was. We were met with warm smiles and our table was ready when we arrived. Our server was knowledgeable about the food that they served and even suggested a plate that was delicious (Chilean Sea Bass), also the ambiance of the decorations inside was quite pleasing. Glad we decided to try something different !

Went out with my GF to celebrate our anniversary and had been waiting to try this place. From the start this place is very nice and beautifully decorated. Service here was excellent from the host to our waiter all were very friendly and spoke with us very kindly. Now for the food the app we got was the hummus and wow this was amazing. Every bite was a pleasure for my tastebuds. For my main I got lambchops this was my first time having them, but I hate to say I did not particularly like it. Since this was my first time, I wasn't sure what to expect but I feel the meat was bland and might have been slightly undercooked. Without knowing better this is only my assumption but would not recommend this dish. Other than that I had a great experience and I would recommend this place for a nice night out.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality. The ambiance was inviting cozy lighting, elegant decor, and just the right level of background music to set the mood without overpowering conversation. Our server Tveen, was outstanding attentive without being intrusive and knowledgeable about the entire menu. She gave great recommendations, and every dish exceeded expectations. For the main course I had the sea bass, cooked to perfection with a crisp exterior and tender, flavorful center. My partner ordered the filet mignon, which melted in the mouth and was seasoned beautifully. Dessert was the highlight their signature bread pudding. If you're a bread pudding lover, this one is an absolute must try. The texture and the flavor were spot on!! paired with vanilla bean ice cream. It's rare to find a place that nails food, service, and atmosphere equally but this restaurant truly delivers. Whether for a special occasion or a casual dinner it's worth every penny. Can't wait to return!

Was invited to lunch at The Palms yesterday and, just like my last visit, it was absolutely outstanding. Started with the Baby Spinach Harvest Salad -- packed with seasonal fruit, dried cranberries, gorgonzola blue cheese, candied walnuts, and topped with a honey poppy seed dressing. So fresh and flavorful. Then I had the Crispy Chicken Breast Club with perfectly cooked chicken (hard to do) with bacon, mozzarella, avocado, tomato, lettuce, red onion, and fire-roasted poblano mayo on a sesame seed bun. Delicious!! To top it all off, my friend accidentally left his wallet under his napkin on the table -- and the waitress actually came running out to the parking lot to return it. Nice people, I tell ya. Great food, even better service.

First off, the place was beautiful and my server was amazing and attentive. They were lacking in the most important part. The food. I got the pork chop which wasn't even a chop it was like a little roast. It wasn't flavored well at all. The potatoes were bland and almost didn't even taste like real potatoes which is very concerning for a restaurant like this. I told my friend I cook my pork so much better and she agreed immediately. My friends got the sirloin and the chicken and we haven't talked about it yet since we were at an event but they didn't eat much which leads me to believe they weren't that great. I did like the appetizers especially the lentil balls. Honestly they are worried about looks more than taste here and taste should be way more important especially for the price.

I LOVE this place. Wife and I first discovered this restaurant when we first moved to Fresno 6 years ago. We have been coming ever since. The quality of food, service, and ambience are all amazing. Everyone, from the owners Wally and Knar, to the servers (particular favorites to include Cassy, Sarah, and Knar- yep a different Knar), to the Saturday night piano player, go out of their way to make sure you have a wonderful experience. At this point I have essentially tried everything on the menu. Personal favorite is the ribeye. But NY strip, sea bass, short ribs, and pork loin are all top notch. As a special treat, they occasionally have a tomahawk which is not to be missed. Appetizers to include a seafood tower and a beautiful beet salad are spectacular. The wine menu is comprehensive and reasonably priced. Desserts, with a Middle Eastern slant, are well worth the calories. In short, check out The Palms. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing food, excellent service, always a delightful experience!! Thank you Palms restaurant, best food in Fresno!

Went with a larger party, excited for a new and upscale dining experience. However, it was by far, the worst restaurant experience I've had up to date. As stated, we reserved for a large party for a close friend's birthday. No where on their website do they state that large parties are required to have a "Fixed menu." The server informed us when we were settled in and it was truly disappointing, being that their original menu is small. We really wanted to try different options but that was out the window. Next, I ordered a dirty martini extra blue cheese olives. She brings me my drink with regular olives and proceeds to tell me that she will personally go find olives and stuff them with blue cheese (I did not request her to do so) but it was a nice gesture so I said sure that would be nice! Olives were never brought. I do not mind if you are honest and tell me you don't carry them, however....do not offer to do something and not follow through. Left a bad taste in my mouth. I ordered a filet mignon and Caesar salad. My salad never came, had to flag down server. Everyone received their filet mignon and again my steak never came. Server who took my order saw me with no food and proceeded to ask me "did you order?" ........ you took my order, so yes I did order. That's when I knew that my order was not rung in and it was going to be made on the fly. I ordered medium rare, and the steak came out so rare and bloody I had to eat around it. Everyone who received their steaks prior, had perfectly cooked medium rare. $50 for a forgotten steak, cooked incorrectly, 2 pieces of carrots and mediocre mashed potatoes? No thank you. Servers checked in an appropriate amount of times but over all experience made me not want to order anything else. Worst $200 spent.

Visited The Palms last weekend. Delightful relaxing live music. Amazing bruschetta & divine hummus appetizers. Salmon still made to perfection. Salad still crisp, fresh, and abundant. We saved room for the baklava with ice cream, which we concluded--"woweee wow what am I eating?!!"--must certainly exist in heaven! So glad to have returned here. They outdid themselves! The Palms consistently serves up a bit of heaven on earth. Palates everywhere, Rejoice!

My first time at The Palms and I was very impressed, let me explain. Upon entering I was greeted with enthusiasm and it was genuine and the hostess knew the guest list and which party I was with ( very professional) the server was extremely familiar with the menu and the specials for the night and that came into play later on. As the pictures show I chose the bone in ribeye which was cooked the way I like it medium rare but before that was the blue cheese salad that was very tasty. The Pinot was the correct choice for me and pared wonderfully with my selection. The dessert(s) were chosen by the host and the three turned out to be delicious, crème brûlée, blueberry bread pudding (the server's favorite) and baklava that is made with honey YUMMY! The decor was elegant and refreshing, the staff reflected the classic business sense that the restaurant projected and the tables weren't so close together that your personal space wasn't invaded...I like that. All and all I was very impressed, give it a try the next time you want a romantic/business/professional restaurant to enjoy a 5 star meal here in Fresno

The restaurant itself is stunning and so elegant. We went there to celebrate our 2yr anniversary and were very pleased with the wait time (we had a reservation and we're seated within 15 min). The staff was so friendly although one seemed a bit overly friendly and even winked at my bf in front of me. The food looked amazing and although the flavor was really good, I would say that my filet mignon was not as tender and easy to bite. I like my steaks medium rare but the center seemed almost completely undercooked. The mashed potatoes were so delicious and just melted in my mouth. The creme Brulee was so delicious and I could not stop eating it. Oh man that hummus was to die for. The pickled veggies on top really elevated the flavor.

We had our Christmas ever dinner here - party of 11 with 4 kids. Our reservation was at 5:30 so there weren't too many people there when we arrived which meant the room with our table was nice a quiet. Once people started coming in however, the room was extremely loud with made it difficult to converse with others at our own table. The noise aside, I do have to say I would give this restaurant five stars solely based on the food taste and quality. Everything we had was really delicious. This is actually what actually made me give three stars and nothing less. If I was rating this place on the service alone, I would rate one star. In my opinion, the service was severely lacking for the amount of money one has to dole out for even one dish, let alone 11. We were greeted ok, but once we were seated, it really went downhill. Our waitress seemed like she didn't want to be there and when she was at our table, she would get an order/request from one or two people then disappear for what seemed like forever. She would come back and do the same thing. This happened throughout the night. I assumed she was busy and let it go until I asked her for extra cherries for my son's Shirley Temple - she seemed to have sighed and made a face that I just couldn't let slide. This was the end of it for me. When a table pays upwards of $1,000 for a dinner, you would expect top notch service. Her attitude was totally unacceptable. I read previous reviews after the fact that were similar to my experience which makes me believe the management/owners really don't mind that their waitstaff treat their customers this way. For this reason, I don't think I'll be back. There are many other options in town that do offer a great overall experience that would appreciate your hard earned cash.

If I could give 10 stars, I would! We had an amazing evening--the food was outstanding with generous portions, which is such a refreshing change for a fine dining establishment. The service was exceptional; the staff truly goes above and beyond to make the experience special. My personal favorite was the pakhlava cheesecake, which was so good I had to take some home. This is truly one of our favorite spots in Fresno.

Phenomenal experience!!! Food was incredible. Our cocktails were a masterclass in flavor, balance, aroma all beautifully presented! Service was outstanding from beginning to end. Sarah and Wendy are the "A" team as far our party is concerned! Very knowledgeable, warm and attentive to perfection. I'm not one to write reviews but this exceeded any expectation. Thank You!!

The Palms is always a hit! Always a great time with great food and an amazing staff that makes you feel at home! Lighting and ambiance is just right for those romantic date nights!

Went there for our anniversary we had amazing night. Great food great service they made our night extra special . We will be back.

Wish I could give Zero stars. Reserved a table for a celebration with my wife and we placed our orders only to discover that a chewed up disgusting gum was on my plate. I was so disgusted that I immediately lost my appetite and when at my request, the manager came and I described what had happened the only thing she was able to say was that "we are busy tonight ". In conclusion, If you like "surprises" in your food , go ahead and eat at the palms , or as I will refer to them from now on, the "dirty palms". Disgusting place.

Our first time and we won't go back. It is a nice restaurant, however tonight we ordered appetizers and our main course. We let them know of a food allergy. When they brought out the appetizer we double checked and the server went back to the kitchen and double checked. We started enjoying our food to find out that it indeed had the item I am allergic too. It is a mild allergy with blisters and welts, GI problems. Does not make for a fun evening and ruined the rest of our night after taking Benadryl. They did not take off the item off our bill that contained the food. They did not seem concerned. So if you have any allergy or food concerns, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Great food and atmosphere. Mr. Ed on the keys provides the good ol tunes. The service is always on time and the ambience is always great.

I have been going to The Palms for YEARS with my family, and we love it so much we keep on going back. It's what I would describe as a nice upscale dining experience with solid choices such as salmon, filet mignon, and other meat. My personal favorite is the rack of lamb (I order it every time). The interior is very upscale old school, and the service is amazing. The food is very rich so you're aware! Will always keep coming back.

Never been so disappointed with the food and drinks before. Service was horrible as well, we waited 30 min to be seated after our reservation only to wait another hour to get our food. No check in whatsoever, I felt like we were at a shit wedding. We even got over charged for things we did not order. Who ever is running this place is only there to take advantage and collect a check.

Came here for holiday work party. The appetizers were cheese plate, spare ribs spring rolls, crab cakes which did not contain any crab and I'm still confused what was inside, ebi shrimp which were surprisingly good. Got the filet mignon as my main which was very very goood. Perfectly cooked medium rare, seasoned well. Mashed potatoes were also delicious though salty. The dessert was amazing and was this hugeeeee beautiful gift looking BAKLAVA. it was the size of maybe 10 baklavas in one. Service was also very professional for a busy holiday party. Waters refilled, drink orders timely and they offered to pack leftovers for anyone.

Food was not good. Service was maybe ok. For an upscale place you would think the food would be better. 1/5

This is the kind of place you can dress fancy or casual, either seems fine. All of the workers were very nice, but we were early for our reservation and stood around well after our reservation time before getting seated. The room we were sat in had plenty of open tables, as well. The food came out quickly and was all very good. The lamb shank had plenty of meat and the bulgar was something I had never had before and was very pleased with.

I absolutely love this place. The atmosphere is great, the hostess staff and wait staff were friendly and welcoming. The Filet was to die for and the Mediterranean Bruschetta was mouth watering. I definitely recommend The Palms for either a date night or night out with the girls. 5 STAR worthy every time!!!

I've been here twice with the ambiance and service that didn't disappoint. The food is mediocre at best. Both times I asked for the steak at medium but got seared (rare in the middle) and had to send it back, upon its return, it came back charred outside and medium well. The menu isn't flooded with items so it was disappointing to have a meal sent back and top of that, it wasn't busy on one occasion. The atmosphere is delightful and the servers are amazing but Its not a place I'd go back to or brag about.

What a fantastic experience. This was our 1st visit, one we will remember. I have no negative to report. On arrival we were greeted with smiles and an inviting welcome. We were seated in an area that reminded me of some high end Las Vegas restaurants. The service was perfect and the food preparation was exquisite. Every dish presented was a work of art. We look forward to our next visit . The Palms is truly something special

Went to the palms for anniversary dinner and it was on point.the waitresses Expertise on the menu was unbelievable for her to remember all 3 specials that they had and be able to tell us everything that was in each of those specials was phenomenal. My Now let's go to the food. The appetizers were phenomenal the crab cakes & brushettia Sent my taste buds to a different level now On to the main entree, I ordered the pork chop and it was insane. It was huge and mashed potatoes with a chip on top was great I have to say probably one of the best pork chops I've ever had. It was cooked to perfection. And then last but not least, we move on to desert.The bread pudding and the cream brulee are untouched.Probably one of the best i've had in the central valley

This was our first time coming here. We were in the area celebrating a birthday. The food was well, we had a bone in ribeye that was cooked perfectly! We were treated very kind since we check in for our reservations. We had several staff checking in with us, making sure we had water refilled, picking up dirty plates so our table never felt crowded. We believe that Sam went above and beyond to meet our expectations! He made sure that we were content the whole time we were there. Thank you for making our visit outstanding!

Although the food was amazing and staff were attentive, we were sat in the back plain room with a bunch of high schoolers. I was there to celebrate my birthday and they could've sat us in the main dining room where there was live music and a bar. It ruined my experience for it being my first time. But food was really good.

Canceled my dad's 80th birthday dinner for 8 people with 6 hours notice. Thumbs down. Would be zero stars if yelp would accept that, but they don't.

Elegant setting, well made food, especially those appetizers. Good place for small groups and dinner meetings. Enjoyed it.

I've eaten there several times, food is always just "off" never what is expected from menu, service fine, rather gaudy, just never tastes like what I expect.

I made reservations two months ago, hoping for a romantic Valentines dinner. The meal and service were fine, but the ambience was a zero. We were put in the banquet room or what I'd call the overflow. We passed several empty tables on the way, so I don't know why we ended up there. It was brightly lit and filled with multiple tables for two, and a few larger ones. There was no ambiance. Zero! Zip! Nothing at all! Even the battery operated light on our table checked out. We would tap it on and it would dim to nothing in a few seconds. Needless to say, I was very disappointed.

My family and I decided to try out The Palms together and we had a pleasant experience at this fine dining restaurant. The appetizers we tried were mediocre. We had the Palm Tower and the Panko Crusted Calamari. There really wasn't much memorable about either one of them. The main entrees on the other hand were delicious. Honestly, skip appetizers here and go straight to dinner! My mom and I split the salmon with mashed potatoes and it was truly divine! Just a heads up you only get one of each type of vegetable they have as their mixed vegetable side. Literally, we each had one small carrot, one small squash, and one small zucchini. However, oddly they were enough. My dad ordered the Chilean Sea Bass with risotto and it was also absolutely delicious! I definitely moved some risotto over to my plate as there was so much to share! The service was all in all okay. Don't except much care from your waitress, but the bussing staff is much more attentive and helpful. Our waitress just took our orders and didn't check in on us until it was time to ask if we wanted dessert or our check. However the bussing staff came by often to clear our areas, refill our waters, and they even brought us extra wonton chips for the palm tower. All in all the ambiance of the restaurant was very nice. They had live music playing, which was lovely. All in all, if you want to go here, again, skip the appetizers and dive into the delicious entrees. Also, don't worry about the waitress's lack of care, the bussing staff will take good care of you.

The service was so bad! The server never came back to see how the food was. She had attitude doing her job like it was an inconvenience.

I wanted to gift my Hubs a very special, romantic evening for dinner, for his Birthday. All of the pics online led me to believe The Palms was to be our romantic evening's destination. I made 7:00pm reservations days in advance. Upon arrival, 10 min before our reservation, we were crammed into the foyer with 4 other couples, and a couple who was waiting for 4 other people. The Hostess wished Hubs a Happy Birthday, as I noted that on our reservation. We checked in and waited for our res to be called. The bar area was packed in, and Hubs commented that he didn't realize they had such a lively bar scene. Due to that, we couldn't have a cocktail before our res was called. That was fine, we'd just wait until we were seated. At 7:20pm,, we were the only ones left standing, while everyone else were seated in the dining room, including a party that didn't have reservations and walked in just prior to our arrival. How do I know? Because I overheard the gal say she was worried they'd not get in. So finally, the hostess calls my name and begins to lead us through the bar. Wha??? I see a big round table in the back corner, with chairs stacked behind it. I'm thinking....omg you are not going to stick us in a back corner, in the bar, no less. Yep, that's what they did. We weren't even asked if seating in the bar was okay. Hell, they will even ask at Red Robin. Then their "new" piano player starts in. Between the mix of contemporary music and the table size, my hubs had to yell at me so I could hear him. I was incensed. My chair was literally banging into a stack of chairs behind me. I've had more intimate dinners at Santa Fe Basque ( if you've been there, you know what I'm saying). One of the servers came over and asked how our night was going. I let her know this was not okay, that this was supposed to be a special romantic dinner and it's plainly the opposite. The piano player brought in a ton of people, who took up several tables, since he's a local favorite, so "your reservation got bumped"....my Hubs was offended as it was no longer a mystery. The one server in the bar tried her best, offered us a cocktail on the house. Which were not even good. I've no problem paying even $20 for an old fashioned, but that drink was horrible. The Palms decision-maker need to be informed that the actual orange peel in the Old Fashioned serves a PURPOSE in the cocktail-its not just garnish and a dried blood orange slice is a trendy way to tell people you can't make a drink to save your life. Style with nothing to back it up is just wearing a costume. The Jameson and Ginger was terribly weak and not even worth the free pricetag given to placate us. The Hostess and the older woman that were visiting all the tables except for ours, were a disgrace. And had the audacity to look offended when we walked out while they stood in the middle of the doorway, blocking our exit. I actually had to raise my voice "excuse me" as Hubs and I left without ordering. It's unfortunate for The Palms as I would have had no problem spending $500 on our evening there and likely would have come back many times, as we tend to do. Ruth's Chris got our money instead. This was our FIRST visit to The Palms and it will be our last. All style, no substance. Next time, we won't take chances on a first-time visit. We will stick with The Limelight, the Manhattan or Ruth's Chris. The Northside should be embarrassed. Sadly, the food may be phenomenal to warrant their self-titled "Fine Star Restaurant" sub-moniker, but we will never know due to the horrible experience. Normally, I would take pics to show what a great time we had. No, there will be none of those, either.

One of the few fine dinning restaurants that give you full portions! This place is pricier, so I would go for occasions or a nice date. The inside is romantic and is beautifully set. Appetizers: My table got the crab cakes and shrimp cocktail. The crab cakes were a special and my table really enjoyed them. They said that they were a different taste than what was expected, but it was a good surprise! The shrimp cocktail only came with 3 shrimps, so not great for sharing with a table. Dinner: Half the table got the duck and the other got the chicken dinner. The duck came with rice and some veggies. They said it was good! The chicken was a big juicy breast that came with mashed potatoes and veggies. Came with 2 sauces and was pretty good. My sister didn'y enjoy it as much, she felt it was bland but to each their own. Wine was great and servers were really knowledgable of the menu. They recommended most of what we ordered so that was a fun experience. The outside was beautiful and we saw some of the waitstaff picking fresh herbs. Came for my mom's birthday and they were more than happy to hold the cake in the back, come out with a candle, and cut it up for us. Switch things up, get dressed up and have a beautiful night out!

Had another great dining experience at The Palms. What an outstanding meal with Cassie as our server. Cassie is such a genuine beautiful spirit and a damn good server. She provides such a complement to the meal throughout the dinner. Ribeye and chicken were so tasty. Baklava dessert shared was incredible. Thank you Cassie and thank you to The Palms.

Excellent food and service, worth a visit. Nice wines and good prices. Great music on the weekends.

Came for a presentation dinner and the menu was on point! So many appetizers with 5 entree options. I got the sea bass kebabs and the fish was well cooked and veggies are always delicious here. Chips with sesame seeds were delish but the hummus was a bit watered down and salty. Hummus appetizer was delicious. Chicken appetizer was salty. Fried shrimp was on point. Salad was very refreshing. The food here is always good, with a handful of items a bit heavy on salt. Service was very efficient and friendly. They accidentally took all my forks so I ate half my entree with the skewer from the sea bass until the waiters returned to the room so I could ask for a fork and a box for my leftovers. Ambiance is always beautiful and a nice place for celebrations.

I had a lovely dinner on Friday with my husband and friends the service was beyond excellent!! We sat at the bar and enjoyed the live music the bar service was more than we expected! The food we ordered was out of this world delicious! I'll be coming back very soon!

Good great Service great Ambiance great Elegant and staff was positive and helpful I would go here for date night or a celebration
