    Great Thanksgiving meal for Thanksgiving: turkey, pumpkin pie, and all the fixings! Sat at the bar and received excellent service! Overall, a superb experience! Reminds me that I probably should frequent Palace Prime more often!!!

    Food was tasty enough but the price at $95 + 20 % gratuity was not worth what we got which was 3 small pieces of turkey and about a tablespoon each of green beans, mashed potatoes, and dressing.

    Aside from our superb waiter and fine backup, this was a disappointment for Thanksgiving. The initial course of beet salad was decent but unimaginable. What was promised as a turkey breast entree with sides for the table was simply presented as an already plated dinner in rather mundane fashion: green beans, whipped potatoes, turkey confit, stuffing with cranberries (actually tasty) and followed by a fine pumpkin pie finish. We will look elsewhere next year.

    We stopped by to have drinks and nibbles. I had not been there in some years - “the bucking bull” was still there at that time. What a delightful change. We sat at the bar in extremely comfortable stools, and enjoyed our drinks and nibbles, shrimp, ceviche, and fries. The bartenders, the hostess and wait staff were attentive and friendly. We will be back for dinner very soon. Thank you Chef Johnny Vee for your excellent restaurant review in The Reporter.

    We really enjoyed the happy hour at the bar the most. Karly, the bartender, was amazing at making our Boulevadiers. The liver mousse was one of the best that we've had. The dinner was expensive for a very modest portion. I sent back the seasonal special, the duck breast, in spite of the staff's strong recommendations. It lacked flavor and the texture was chewy and being served at barely room temp made it inedible!!! The pasta, as a replacement order, was better although the small portion left me wanting more. Lastly, the music choices were very strange and not enjoyable at times when hard rock music was playing..... We would return for the happy hour with Karly for a special occasion only!!
    Palace PrimeResponded on November 4, 2024
    Thank you for your detailed feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed happy hour, Karly’s cocktails, and the liver mousse – we’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to her. We're sorry the duck breast and music choices didn't meet your expectations. Your comments on portion sizes are also valuable to us; please note that our pasta dishes are on the smaller side, as they are meant to be mid-course. We hope to welcome you back for happy hour and to offer a more enjoyable overall experience.
