    We hadn't been to Palace Kitchen in years - but had been fans "back in the day". We came for dinner recently and, from the moment we walked in, both knew we were going to order the chicken (which is AMAZING!) I normally steer clear of chicken in restaurants since it is often dry (in my opinion). Not this. Excellent flavor, moist and those incredible mashed potatoes (never thought those words would come from me)! Service is fast, friendly and we also like the ambience - nice vibe, great background music (not too loud) and a crowd with everyone from families, couples and singles. We'll be back!!

    We went for the happy hour and it was super. Had the steak bites and they were delicious. The bread pudding dessert is probably one of the best I’ve ever had. (Not on the happy hour menu) Of course we had cocktails too. The ambience was perfect and we sat in a booth.
