    We arrived on time for our reservation (8:00 pm). I even received the text confirmation that our table was ready. Nonetheless, we still had to wait 10 minutes to get sat. After finally being sat, our server was great and got our drinks. It took a bit of time to get our drinks but when he returned, he promptly told us that the kitchen was closing. It was around 8:33 pm. We were a little surprised but understood because it was Christmas. Still, why take reservations if the kitchen is closing? I noticed on open table that I was a no show. I went to speak to the manager who said they cancelled my reservation because I booked it twice - which was completely false - and then said it “disappeared” from the system. It was such a small thing to lie about. I just think he cancelled it and then didn’t want to be bothered. He was dismissive at best. I went back to my table then the manager returned saying he fixed it. By the end of dinner, open table sent me an email that I was a no show. Again, our server was great and the food was good, but it was the front house that just failed expectations and would think twice about returning.

    Beautiful interior. No bread provided for the table. Sea Bass was perfectly cooked but a rather small portion.

    Good food, but certainly not the same experience since Tillman bought the palm used to be one of my favorites. Now it’s just another in a long line of corporate restaurant, unfortunately

    The service was great. The Lobster gnocchi was too spicy and the lobster portion was too small. The steak was undercooked.
