Love the “tea” luncheon experience. It’s very expensive but lovely. Food is always good but again, seems incredibly expensive for what you are served. Service was excellent and we loved our waiter “elvis”

The food was excellent. We had a short time to dine and get to a show, and they were very accommodating. The service was exceptional, and the atmosphere was calm, quiet, and relaxing. I would dine at this restaurant again and again.

Came here for my boyfriend’s birthday with his parents. From start to finish, our experience was amazing- which is happening less and less in NYC. The staff was so kind and friendly and knowledgeable with the menu. The atmosphere was beautiful! Quiet, cozy, not overwhelming and so clean. We started with the focaccia which was delicious and a couple of other appetizers. We all enjoyed our dishes and it was the perfect portion. Their cocktails are great too! Especially the classic spritz. The staff was so attentive and made my boyfriend’s day feel extra special. Thank you, Palma! Can’t wait to return.

Incredible Thai food unlike any other Thai food I have had personally. I had the Chicken Khao Soi noodles which were absolutely incredible. They have a pretty limited vegetarian menu but what they do have is also very very good. The value for the food at a Michelin star restaurant is unparalleled.
