    Palmers was not busy when we went in but we had made a reservation regardless so we wouldn’t have a wait. We were seated immediately. Our server arrived shortly after seating and was very helpful with choosing a starter. We had the calamari which was served on a bed of cabbage with a slightly spicy peanut sauce drizzled over it. It was very good! I had a wonderful grilled salmon salad and my son had the Caribbean chicken salad. Both salads had nice fresh mixed greens. Our server was attentive and helpful throughout our meal. I highly recommend Palmers!

    We had a great meal. Started with the calamari, big juicy chunks but a bit spicy its good but our crew prefers a more traditional recipe. The wedge salad was great and was able to be split. The main course servings sizes were large, my daughter and I split the steak and frites, my mom got 2 huge pieces of fish with her catfish entree that she had at least 1 more meal. Finished with the bread pudding, hands down the best ever- the brown butter bourbon sauce~yum! On top of the excellent food our server was top notch. It was a lovely experience and puts Palmers as a top restaurant in LEX.

    another amazing experience at Palmers!!! The crab cakes were beautifully plated and fresh. My wife had Imperial Flounder and I had the French Quarter fettucini. Both meals were wonderful. As luck would have it our orders were placed right behind a huge 8 top so we had to wait a bit but the server was very attentive and kept refilling our drinks and offering to bring more bread. Thanks Palmers for another great date night!!

    Our server was excellent and the food was delicious! As a bonus, it was Wine Wednesday and we got 50% off of a bottle of wine. I would definitely go back!

    We enjoyed our dinner at Palmer’s. The service was wonderful. I thoroughly loved the Imperial Flounder eating every bite, but the Diablo pasta and bread was okay. $62 +tip for entrees and water.

    Palmer's is our go-to restaurant. We love the outdoor area in warm weather and the indoor area is quiet and comfortable. They have a nice variety of entrees. The food is always delicious and the service is great. We also like that you can make reservations so there is no waiting when you arrive.
