Diner Reviews
  • "My husband and I used to live near the Palace Cafe and would eat there often. We had an event from 6-8 nearby and made a reservation online at 8:15. The inside has been updated and expanded with a cool bar area. We were very impressed with the new decor and the food was excellent. I had the delicious Caesar salad and Chris enjoyed the chicken and white bean chile. We split the special entree. It was quite delicious; Mahi Mahi with lobster cream sauce and truffle raviolis! Our server was fabulous and attentive. It was very busy that Friday night so there was a fun buzz throughout."

  • "from the appetizers, through to desert, everything we ordered was excellent. martinis with blue cheese stuffed olives were also to perfection. I have been there a long time ago and didn't like it, we decided to try again and I am v era pleased, will return in the near future."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "the food was superb, the service outstanding and the prices fair for this type of restaurant. the wine list was extremely overpriced but had a number of excellent wines. the industrial décor is not one associated with a romantic dinner for two and the noise level in the restaurant was higher than we would have liked. if I was recommending a great upscale place in mid-town this would be on the list."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "Food is outstanding. Busy and can get noisy. The hostess is not good at her job and should be replaced with someone competent. It takes outstanding food to make up for a bad experience at the front of the restaurant. Palace Café delivers on the food."

  • "First, let me start off by saying that this is a great hit for a special night out, date night, or any night really. But we went for Valentine's Day and the tasting menu was to die for, although I wish I would have gotten a thicker steak and more Maine lobster, but what I had was delish. Thanks for a wonderful V Day!"

  • "The food was excellent and the service was great. It's been a long time since I've tasted steak that was that good! I chose this restaurant based on the reviews that I found on Google and it was spot on! The only thing that I think could have been improved was that I asked for my steak to be cooked medium well, and when it arrived it was medium rare. Were it not for the fact that it tasted so good I may have been tempted to send it back to have it cooked a little more but my wife and I still very much enjoyed the experience!"

  • "I ordered the butternut squash soup and chicken roulade. The soup was clean tasting but the fried sage and bacon brought texture and flavor. The roulade was tender, moist, and flavorful. Our service was spotty when it came to drinks and refreshments. My friends ordered the $18 taster appetizers. They enjoyed about 70% of them. I think it was a good concept but I worried about their food getting cold. The roasted beets and beet salad were wonderful. The table was comfortable for 6, but the front window was too cold. Several women kept their coats on. Any other time of year would have been perfect. I thought it was a lovely 40th birthday celebration with friends."

  • "Great food, great service, great atmosphere! Did I mention the kale salad!!! It is so delicious!!!!"
    Dined on 2/5/2014
  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. We each ordered something different and were all sharing our entrees thinking ours was the best! Brussels sprouts coleslaw, kale, beet greens, and artichoke hearts. I usually do not eat any of the greens but I tried them and to my surprise, liked them! Caesar salad was unusual as it was grilled with a smoky flavor that was very tasty! The lobster ravioli was very good and the salmon was enjoyed by our guests. My husband had the scallop linguini and thought it was fantastic. I had the cod fish which was rolled and cooked to perfection! The dessert we ordered! There were four small apple stuffed beignets, a perfect finish to a wonderful evening. Our waiter was excellent!"

  • "Wonderful service, attentive but not intrusive. Great food, all prepared with care and attention. Would be five stars all the way with a bit more thoughtfulness to wine list. We did have a great split of an 06 Shiraz, but would like a few more options for interesting reds. Also, would like a vegetarian option as an entree. Overall, a highlight for our area."

    Dined on 1/8/2014
  • "Excellent food! We ordered a sampler of all the Bentos (appetizers) - highly recommend! My wife ordered the tenderloin and I ordered the lobster ravioli . Would get both again in a heartbeat. If you get a booth it's a great romantic restaurant - get a table that's squished next to others, not so much Highly recommend"

  • "I went with a friend. The service was good, not too pushy, but a little lackadaisical. The chef's catch of the day was phenomenal. However, I wish their wine list was a little more robust."

  • "This restaurant is one of my favorites. Our group of eight was looking for a great dinner and Palace Cafe accommodated us beautifully. As always the food was the star of the day. The Bentos are especially flavorful, fun and different. The restaurant has an excellent selection for vegetarians, but also serves substantial and tasty pork, beef, seafood and poultry creations. They specialize in locally sourced and locally grown ingredients, which is nice. Our server, Zach, was exceptional."
    Dined on 12/12/2013
  • "We had an enjoyable dining experience at Palace Cafe. The server was attentive but gave us time to visit. We were not rushed but yet the spacing of time between courses was perfect. The food is delicious and options are creative and interesting without being too obscure. I enjoy the tall booths which are intimate for private conversation."

  • "We love Palace and this night was no exception. While this is normally our date night spot on this night we took our 10-year old daughter out for a special birthday dinner. While I wouldn't call Palace "kid friendly" - you rarely see kids there - it is not unfriendly to anyone and she loved getting treated to a "real" restaurant. We always do the full bento appetizer (terrific - I especially liked the Tuna bite and the spare-rib bite). My wife and I both had the steak and it was beautifully prepared. Also love the smoked Caesar (my wife enjoyed the Kale salad - I had a bite and it was quite good). One of Tulsa's best spots."

  • "The food was as always excellent, and our waitress's was phenomenal! Unfortunately a couple next to us had brought their little boy with him. He spent a good five minutes screaming "no" at them and we was certainly of the age where he should know better. Not the restaurants fault mind you but certainly rough on the ears"

  • "Sunday brunch @ the Palace is always a treat ! The atmosphere is relaxed, the presentation is good and, of course, the food is great ! I knew as soon as we were shown to our table, adjacent to a group of 12 people, that I should have asked to be re-seated but, I didn't and it was pretty loud at times. Overall, a good experience and a great meal."

  • "We are never disappointed by our meal at Palace Cafe. It is always delicious! We have noticed the last few times we've been there that the host table is unorganized. Despite making reservations, we've had to wait 10-20 minutes for our table. Other than that, Palace is a favorite!"
