    Palapa was an absolutely AMAZING experience! We actually went on Friday night and it was sooo good we went back Saturday night and ordered the exact same thing again. Lemson provided excellent service. The entire wait staff worked so well together. The setting was very unexpected by the location. We loved it!!

    We love this restaurant. Atmosphere and food is fantastic. Staff was friendly and accommodating. My only feedback would be the meal felt rushed. Courses came out very quick. But we will definitely be back.

    Very nice decor! I had the lamb chops which were excellent! Our server was very nice. Nice wine selection. Good cocktails. Reserved parking in front of the restaurant which is very unusual and makes parking easy.

    This was absolutely one of the best meals I have ever had. Each item ordered had me happy dancing to every bite. We ended up ordering several appetizers and several sushi rolls in order to try more things on the menu. Absolutely worth it! Just Go. You won’t regret it.

    Terrible. We reserved a table for 8pm but it wasn’t ready until 8.30pm. We ordered our food and it didn’t arrive until 10.20pm. It only arrived after I informed the waiter to cancel our order as we had been waiting too long. When the food arrived it was cold and the steak I ordered medium rare was overcooked. The waiter was doing his best, but there are clearly issues with the management of the restaurant. One to avoid.
