   for the second time in a row the fish I ordered had bones, that should not happen when you order a $48 meal. The first time I accepted it as a mistake but the second time Keeps out of the restaurant.

   Been coming here since it opened. Food isn't as good lately. Sent my lamb back 3 times finally telling them I've given up on them trying to get it right. It started off as burnt outside a raw inside. It only got worse as they tried to rectify the problem. We had 5 entrées 4 of us had seafood which were just ok. Even the change from delicious warm loaves of bread to less than average dinner rolls was noticed. Even the dinner salads changed. Its not like the old days when every entree and appetizer was very special. Still a nice quiet place to converse, but I'll probably look for an alternative restaurant for future occasions. Sad. Overall grade C+.

   We were at Palm Court to celebrate or 64th anniversary. The restaurant bent over backwards to make our occasion extra special—a lovely anniversary setup with a greeting card, rose petals on the table and champagne for two. Our meals were, as always, stellar! It couldn’t have been lovelier and a special surprise! Thank you Palm Court.

   For the price point I expected better. Service was good but the food could have been better. Had halibut "special". Small piece of halibut and lots of calamari. Mashed potatoes tasted like they came from a box.

   This restaurant is a gem. It has been in business for many years. I went with some dear friends and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner together. The parking is easy. We were seated immediately. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They were able to answer any and all questions without hesitation. The food was delicious and the ambience was perfect.

   Our Book Club luncheon was everything we wanted. I asked for a round table & we were seated in the small dining room right next to the beautiful tree & fireplace. Our servers were pleasant & attentive. The room was quiet as we were the only party in the room for a while & when the others were seated it was not right next to us. We will be there again.

   We were totally surprised as we entered the restaurant. The interior is very elegant while being welcoming and comfortable. Our server was attentive without being overwhelming. He served our courses perfectly. Best escargot ever. Delicious, perfectly cooked rack of lamb. We will be back.

   The restaurants ambiance has a elegant supper club vibe with a diverse menu. Our recent visit for a special occasion fell short of expectations and the service, though adequate, lacked the personalized touch one would expect for a celebratory dining experience. The staff seemed to be going through the motions of hosting a Brunch with Santa Clause and seemed overwhelmed and neglectful of those not there for Santa The buffet, a central point of our meal, was another disappointment. While the initial selection was promising, the lack of replenishment with fresh dishes left us feeling disappointed. As the options continued to dwindled so did the quality of the remaining food. Despite these shortcomings, Palm Court remains a well-regarded establishment. However, we recommend considering other dining options besides the buffet.

   We were there to celebrate my mom's 83rd birthday. The next day, she told me it was the best birthday ever.
