    Our Christmas Eve supper was outstanding. Chef Angel Franco continues his innovation of the menu and every dish is perfectly prepared. The restaurant was packed at 5:30 but the service was excellent as always, warm and professional. Ashely and Karli had bar specials that made the evening festive. Best Vespers in Santa Fe. Our oysters, halibut, and crab cakes were all first-rate and the dining room was lovely. Santa Fe has good restaurants but none better than Palace Prime.
    Palace PrimeResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you, Michael, for such a heartfelt and detailed review! We're always thrilled to have you join us, and it means so much to know your Christmas Eve supper was outstanding. Chef Angel Franco takes great pride in creating memorable dining experiences, and we're glad his innovative dishes continue to impress. Ashley and Karli will be delighted to hear their bar specials made the evening even more festive (and we're so happy you enjoyed the Vesper!). Your kind words about our oysters, halibut, crab cakes, and atmosphere truly make our day. It’s always a pleasure to welcome you, and we’re honored to be your go-to spot in Santa Fe. We look forward to your next visit! Cheers!

    The service is very good from the moment we arrived. Seating in the lounge was comfortable. Our waiter named Dan introduced himself and was pleasant and upbeat. The menu is very interesting and that gave each of us excitement about what to select. We had oysters, polenta, sweet beet salad, steak, scallops, sweet squash, seafood variety on rice, and flan with rum-flavored cream and chocolate mousse favored cake with salt favored caramel ice cream. All of the food was creatively prepared and presented. We were greeted cheerfully by the hostess and thanked by everyone for having dinner there. We expected excellent food, drinks and service, and that’s what the Palace Prime experience was for us tonight. We look forward to another wonderful dinning experience there! Clayton Tanga, Santa Fe

    Came here for a birthday and everything was delicious and our server was great. But when we got our dessert (sorbet) I got a scoop that had a piece of glass and I didn’t realize it was glass until I started chewing on it thinking it was ice. We did get a discount because of this but it was still a disappointment considering how good the food and service was.
    Palace PrimeResponded 1 day ago
    Dear Evelyn, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry about the incident with your dessert. It’s completely unacceptable and does not reflect the high standards we hold ourselves to. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we sincerely apologize for this oversight. We’re glad you enjoyed the food and service otherwise, and we appreciate your understanding. Please know that we’re investigating this issue thoroughly to ensure it never happens again. If there’s anything else we can do to make it up to you, please don’t hesitate to let us know. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a flawless experience in the future.
