First time dining at Palace Kitchen since the re-opening last spring. Cocktails and food both top notch. Our table enjoyed goat cheese fondue, trout, ling cod and chicken entrees along with coconut cream pie for dessert. Service was efficient though not overly friendly. Overall enjoyed the experience and will plan to return.

Another amazing experience. Our server was lovely and attentive. Cocktails were fabulous and we shared 4 starters - heirloom tomatoes with burrata, chicken wings (a must have), ravioli (the other must have) and the fondue. Everything was perfect! So glad to see this restaurant open again after a 3 year closure. We'll definitely be back!

A great restaurant. My only complaint is we had a window table, which normally would be great, but there was constant pot smoke wafting in from out on the sidewalk, which detracted a bit from the experience.

So happy that Palace is back open! A neighborhood favorite, and it is just as fabulous as ever. The food was incredible but the service was quite literally above and beyond! I accidentally ate a dish with peanuts and didn't have any benedryl with me and when I informed the server she located some for me and prevented my peanut allergy from escalating and saved the night! I owe her big time but more importantly am just so grateful for the kind and lovely people at the Palace Kitchen. Can't wait to go back!

This was the first time we had been to Palace Kitchen. They greeted us with a happy anniversary, since I had noted it was our anniversary. Service was 5 stars, our waitress was great with recommendations and allowed us to enjoy our dinner. Thank you Palace Kitchen for making year 11 together special!

Pros: well prepared meals, nice dining space, didn't feel rushed. Cons: not "knock your socks off" good, server sometimes disappeared, music too loud, playlist horrible (last two from both 50somethings and 20somethings). Apps ordered: zucchini fritters, beer bread. Mains ordered: hamburger with bacon, whole trout, dumplings, rosy chicken.

Gave this place a chance given some other reviews and wasn’t really impressed at all. Food was extremely mediocre and service was poor. Pretty small menu, none of which was adventurous or unique at all. Portions were small outside of the burger and fries. I had the trout, which was a whole fish. I don’t mind that but it should be mentioned on the menu.

Chris nearly ruined our experience in this restaurant. He seemed to have forgotten about us. It took 15 minutes to get his attention to order drinks. Sure, he said he’d let us look at the menu, but that’s ridiculous. We started with the goat cheese fondue. Good, but a third item, strawberries or pear slices, to dip would have been a much needed improvement. When Chris came by to check on us, he didn’t ask how the app was, nor did he ask how my date’s wine was. He told me they couldn’t make a Rusty Nail after promising they had Drambuie. They didn’t. After selecting a new cocktail from the menu, he never asked how it was. He never checked on how our mains were cooked for us. We had to ask him to see the dessert menu. The service was far removed from the quality I would expect from a restaurant that charges that much for their food. We were fully aware of the quality of their service and food as they had met both mark’s previously.

Attentive service that was welcoming and relaxed. Agnolotti dal plin was well executed with excellent flavor and texture but on the small side both in proportion (individual plin were quite small) and serving size that was ample but left you wanting just a little more. Highly satisfying romaine gem with Parmesan dressing and a giant buttery crouton. Zucchini fritters are indescribably light with wonderful mouthfeel but could benefit from more zucchini (these were more hush puppy batter than zucchini) but accompanied by a flavorful lemon aioli. Comfortable chairs and larger tables are a plus and the room feels open and airy. Look forward to additional visits to explore more menu items. Overall an enjoyable meal with a simple space and tuned-in service for a leisurely Sunday evening dinner.

Clams and ravioli were great appetizers! The crouton "Caesar" salad was interesting - great crouton, and very tasty overall. Burgers were fine, but nothing special. Halibut was overcooked, and the trout was laden with small bones. Service was very good. The wines we had were also good. Overall: Solid experience, and not rushed. About $75/person all-in: one drink/person, with 0.75 appetizers/salads per person, individual entrees, and no dessert.

So happy Tom Douglas brought PK back. Same wonderful ambience, great bar and, if anything, the food is even better and the menu more diverse than before. The honey roasted yams and sweet pea salad were both outstanding and the burger royale every bit as terrific as I remembered. Welcome back PK!! We missed you.

Hadn’t been here in several years but so glad we returned after a long hiatus. Food was exceptional and the service great. Our server accommodated us when our trout order was delayed, got a few extra splashes of wine. The beet salad was amazing as was the clam appetizer. Will definitely be coming back sooner than later this time. Only issue for me was it’s a little loud in there, but that’s the way it is with a lot of restaurants these days.

Hard to believe that halibut would be cooked so it was crusted on the top - almost impossible to cut into. The simple salad had so much pepper that it was uncomfortable - can't believe when pepper is offered at the table that the chef would have done that; some people don't want so much pepper. We declined the pepper mill and still found it off putting. We had to ask that the "music" be turned down so we could have a conversation across the table. We have been fans of Tom Douglass in the past, but this was a disappointment, and we had suggested it to the friends from out of town who wanted to treat us to a meal.

I had always heard how great this place was so we tried it- Do not go! The chicken starter was okay but when they brought out our ordered medium well split in half burger nearly rare - they just put back on the grill bun and all! Just grill marks and searing the cut edge - it was still nearly raw still . Never seen anything like this - other places cook a new burger - they had put our plate under a warmer so the lettuce and tomato was wilted. The only reason this is rated as the atmosphere is not bad the staff is friendly and would probably just be ok for an expensive drink.

Our first visit since the Palace Kitchen reopened. It did not disappoint. 4 of us enjoyed an early dinner (5:30 reservations) with shared appetizers and each an entree...2 burgers, dumplings and the chicken. All reported a super meal with perfectly timed delivery as would be expected at a Tom Douglas restaurant.
