They charge higher than the menu. The bill which was charged was higher than menu. I have pictures of the menu and the bill as proof. Please see pictures. I dine out 3-4 times weekly. This is very dishonest as a restaurant. Customer service was terrible as well. We waited for half an hour, no one came to ask us even for drinks. When we asked for water, waited for another 15+ mins. We ended up just had a very rush lunch when food arrived since we had to go to next event. Will NEVER come back. Do NOT recommend.

Palma continues to impress! My second visit was even better than the first. The food was incredible, the drinks were divine, and the atmosphere was perfect. A huge thank you to Andrew and our lovely server (whose name I unfortunately forgot) for making our dining experience unforgettable.

Might have been an off night because it was Thanksgiving. We had steak frites, the steak was fat too tough, but fries and the lemon aioli were good. The pasta was very undercooked - not al dente but undercooked and chewy, and the sauce was a bit on the sweet side. The crudo was fine - also a bit tough. Martinis were great and so was the apple pie.

When offering high tea: - There should be a staff member who knows what the tea is. They did not - Caffeinated and non-caffeinated options should be available. They were not. - You should be able to substitute items. They would not do that. - Staff should check in on you at least once every 20 minutes. They did not. - When you pay $100 a person, and you ask for a few items to go, they should package it for you. They just gave me a to-go-box and bag They did give us some extra champagne, which was nice!

Visited on a Saturday for their afternoon tea service. The food was absolutely delicious. I had a spiritless spirit, that was actually delicious. The execution of the offerings was great. All items tasted so good. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
