    Palace Cafe is one of our favorite restaurants in New Orleans. Today the food was as expected, excellent. Service was exceptional. The Bananas Foster was absolute perfection. We will be back.

    We got there 20 mins early for our reservation and they were able to seat us anyway which was nice. Our dietary restrictions were handled very well. Most of the portions were quite generous, however my shrimp remoulade salad was more of an appetizer size than a meal. In addition it took over 30 minutes to get our food and we needed to ask for bread which was supposed to come out with the appetizer and then later we had a long wait and finally requested our check. It was a Thursday night and although the restaurant did fill up during our stay, we feel that we had to spend too much time waiting for food and services.

    I have been to Palace Cafe several times and have never had an experience like last night. Service was VERY slow- we ordered appetizers only and were there for two hours. The French Onion Soup is normally very good but was awful. I was with some coworkers who are not from New Orleans and I am regretting choosing Palace Cafe to show them a taste of New Orleans.
