    Food was tasty enough but the price at $95 + 20 % gratuity was not worth what we got which was 3 small pieces of turkey and about a tablespoon each of green beans, mashed potatoes, and dressing.

We’re glad to hear you found the food tasty and appreciated the service and ambiance. However, we’re sorry that the portion sizes and overall value did not meet your expectations. We strive to provide a dining experience that feels worth every penny, and it’s clear we fell short in your case. Your comments about the portion sizes are very important to us, and we will review this with our team to ensure we’re delivering a more satisfying experience for all our guests. Thank you again for your input, and we hope to have the chance to welcome you back in the future for an improved experience.

    Aside from our superb waiter and fine backup, this was a disappointment for Thanksgiving. The initial course of beet salad was decent but unimaginable. What was promised as a turkey breast entree with sides for the table was simply presented as an already plated dinner in rather mundane fashion: green beans, whipped potatoes, turkey confit, stuffing with cranberries (actually tasty) and followed by a fine pumpkin pie finish. We will look elsewhere next year.

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your Thanksgiving experience with us. While we’re thrilled to hear that you received excellent service from your waiter and support staff, we’re sorry to learn that the overall dining experience did not meet your expectations. We aim to create a memorable holiday meal for our guests, and it’s clear we missed the mark in terms of presentation and creativity. Your comments about the turkey entree and its presentation are valuable insights, and we’ll review this with our culinary team to ensure that future holiday offerings feel more special and in line with our guests’ expectations. Our GM, Austin Flick, will reach out to you directly this week.

    Serving sizes very small, corn bread and pie. Food just ok, not $100 plus taxes worth it.

    We stopped by to have drinks and nibbles. I had not been there in some years - “the bucking bull” was still there at that time. What a delightful change. We sat at the bar in extremely comfortable stools, and enjoyed our drinks and nibbles, shrimp, ceviche, and fries. The bartenders, the hostess and wait staff were attentive and friendly. We will be back for dinner very soon. Thank you Chef Johnny Vee for your excellent restaurant review in The Reporter.

    We really enjoyed the happy hour at the bar the most. Karly, the bartender, was amazing at making our Boulevadiers. The liver mousse was one of the best that we've had. The dinner was expensive for a very modest portion. I sent back the seasonal special, the duck breast, in spite of the staff's strong recommendations. It lacked flavor and the texture was chewy and being served at barely room temp made it inedible!!! The pasta, as a replacement order, was better although the small portion left me wanting more. Lastly, the music choices were very strange and not enjoyable at times when hard rock music was playing..... We would return for the happy hour with Karly for a special occasion only!!
    Palace PrimeResponded on November 4, 2024
    Thank you for your detailed feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed happy hour, Karly’s cocktails, and the liver mousse – we’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to her. We're sorry the duck breast and music choices didn't meet your expectations. Your comments on portion sizes are also valuable to us; please note that our pasta dishes are on the smaller side, as they are meant to be mid-course. We hope to welcome you back for happy hour and to offer a more enjoyable overall experience.
