    Great food and drink. Service was wonderful and server was kind in answering all my food related questions. I think the only thing that was disappointing was the very casual attire of the staff particularly the hostess. It’s such a beautiful room. Even though we were there for a late lunch I would have thought attire would be a little more refined.

    Palma is unique in its garden-like setting for a cozy but not crowded ( tables to too close together) atmosphere. The service is friendly and attentive. The food is incredible, with a diverse and interesting menu, providing delicious flavors. From appetizers to dessert, the food was perfect. Lengthy wine list and full bar. Palma is a perfect night out for a romantic evening, especially if you love fresh, delicious food.

    Warm hospitality and thoughtful prep for my gluten-free needs. It’s the priciest afternoon tea around but the food and service was excellent. The muffin was really crumbly and fell apart on contact but flavorful. The lemon curd is the bomb! Wonderful!
