Palm 78

I wanted to celebrate my birthday at a nice restaurant. Palm 78 came highly recommended. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. From the time we walk in we were greeted right away. The ambiance was nice. Our waiter Aaron was amazing. Aaron recommended his favorites. The appetizers were great. I couldn’t chose one so I got 3. Coquettes, egg rolls and calamari. I went with the roasted snapper for my entree and pound cake for desert. It was delicious. My birthday dinner was complete. Thank you Palm 78 for taking care of my friends and I for my birthday. I will return soon.

Came here on a Friday evening to celebrate my birthday. The interior of the restaurant is very nice and cozy. Would be perfect for a date night and I believe they have live music. We didn't get to hear it because we were leaving just as they were coming in to set up.
Now on to the food..... We were seated immediately, we tried to order the shrimp egg rolls but they "ran out". Our reservations were for 6pm and they open at 4pm I believe so in 2 hrs, they've already run out of menu items. So we ordered the calamari instead. The Calamari was VERY salty. I then ordered the patty melt and fries and my friend ordered the salmon which comes with fingerling potatoes and she also got a side of mashed potatoes. Neither of our entrees were seasoned. My burger patties were bland and my friend said her salmon was bland as well. I ordered the rum cake for dessert and it was very good, however it was the tiniest sliver of cake that I've ever seen. I was surprised that they got it to stand up on the plate and for $9 I thought that was ridiculous. It's not even enough to share. Our waitress was very nice and attentive but I thought she was a little pushy when it came to ordering drinks. We both ordered sodas because we had reservations at a lounge right after dinner and we knew we would drink once we got there. But our server still offered us drinks about 3 times and we declined each time. Oh and they charged us a 16% gratuity for 2 ppl and because of that I chose not to tip anything additional. I normally tip 20% as the minimum but when restaurants get greedy and charge gratuity on small parties, that mandatory gratuity that you add, is all you'll get from me. This is a cute spot but the food needs some work. The server also said that they are "150% black owned" and I think that's great. This place just wasn't for me but I do wish them nothing but success in the future.

My wife and I went for dinner on Sunday night. The service was great and the food was excellent! We chose the shrimp egg rolls to start, my wife had the lamb chops and I chose the ribeye. Highly recommend!

Palm 78 is phenomenal!!! From the warm greetings, to the beautiful atmosphere, to the amazing drinks, to the delicious food, down to the amazing service! I was dining alone, so I sat at the bar. Larry took great care of me! I had the fried calamari appetizer, the Spicy Lobster Fettuccine for my entrée, and the Aloha as my mixed cocktail! I did not have even 1 complaint!!! (And I have high expectations!) This restaurant is worth every penny you spend & I will DEFINITELY be back!!!
