    I really enjoyed my experience at Palapa Grill. The food, the service and the ambiance was amazing! I celebrated my birthday here and they came out with a dessert singing happy birthday.

    We made reservations for anniversary and were greeted with complementary Prosecco. All of the servers working on our table or respectful, attentive, and very polite. The food had lovely presentation perfect timing and tasted wonderful. The drinks are fabulous and the staff take great pride in the curated cocktails we loved the beautiful vegetation that surrounded us, the other customers were having a wonderful time. Our only bad experience is there was one group of a four guests that were loud and boisterous, one of the men passed out at the table.Of course this is not the restaurant’s fault. Sadly it did distract all of the guests but good news he left the restaurant on his own accord.
