    Lunch at Palma Was ABSOLUTELY outstanding! From the welcoming host greeting us when we came in to the flowers surrounding our table and ornate porcelain plates. Every detail makes you feel welcomed and cared for. The food is supremely fantastic with only the best locally sourced ingredients. I highly recommend the Pissaladiere, which is from the French side of the menu a savory Provencal tart and the tiramisu! Buon appetito and Bon appétit!

    An unforgettable evening in the cellar! We did the tasting menu with wine pairings, and everything—from start to finish—was exceptional. Each dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, with thoughtful pairings that elevated the entire experience. The ambiance in the cellar added a cozy, intimate vibe that made it feel extra special. What really stood out, though, was the service—warm, knowledgeable, and perfectly paced. Every course felt like a celebration, and we never felt rushed. It’s rare to have a meal where both the food and hospitality are so equally top-notch. Highly recommend!
