    We chose a steak house for New Year’s Eve and there was not any steak on the menu available. The server told us that they sold out all prime rib and rib eye. This was not what to expect. My husband order a drink. He tasted and immediately asked the server to get it back because he didn’t like. He ordered a new one but he was charged for both.

    Dear Milton, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding our menu. As part of our transition from a steakhouse to a New American dining concept, we updated our category online several months ago. However, we regret any misunderstanding this may have caused, especially on such an important occasion as New Year’s Eve. Regarding the overcharged drink, we’ve issued a refund and sent the receipt to the phone number on file. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything else we can assist you with. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a smoother experience in the future.

    From a local, Palace Prime is consistently top notch. In the 70’s it was the Palace Restaurant and was the finest dining in town. Palace Prime has brought back the glory. Truly one of the best bars in town, too.

    Dear Kirk, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Palace Prime has lived up to the legacy of the Palace Restaurant and that we’ve brought back some of that classic glory. It means the world to us to be considered one of the best in town, both for dining and for our bar. We truly appreciate your kind words about the food, service, and ambiance, and we’re always striving to provide an experience worthy of such praise. We hope to welcome you back soon.
