   We had a large group, and we were so grateful Palace could accommodate us on their patio out back. It was a lovely setting with really good food and wine and exceptional service. All members of our large party raved about their food and the experience overall. Thank you!

   Had an excellent dinner with solid cocktails at Palace! The restaurant layout is very relaxed, lots of room between tables, especially the large circular booths. Makes for a wonderful private dinner. The service was very good, the sommelier especially. The food seemed obvious on the menu, but the flavors were interesting and delicious in a very good way! The portions are small, so if you are looking for a lot of food try the restaurant at La Fonda where the experience isn't nearly as good.

   Food was a marginally good value with a very nice presentation. Service was great! The octopus was good but the portion was tiny. The squid ink pasta portion was tiny and clams either overcooked or not fresh. The hamachi was excellent. Definitely a mixed review! Love eating in the lounge. Noise level perfect and lighting as well.

   This is a real gem. The chef is creative, the food is excellent and the service was great. For the price, very difficult to get better food. To me, the highlight was the hamachi crudo. I have had good versions of this dish before, but this stood out with the contrast of a little heat and the use of Asian limes, which were very fruity.

   Hi Dennis, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled you consider us a gem—that truly means a lot. It’s wonderful to hear the hamachi crudo stood out for you; our chef will be delighted to know that the balance of heat and Asian lime made a memorable impression. We’re so glad you enjoyed the full experience, and we hope to welcome you back again very soon!

   Menu not great. Should have researched more. Nice attentive waiter but probably won’t be back

    As a foodie I must say I was impressed. First time visiting Santa Fe… this place did not disappoint. Daniel the server was great. The Hamachi was fantastic. The Executive chef from Puerto Rico I believe his name was chef Aus.. appreciate you stopping by our table to say hello. You were very kind. The whole Branzino did not disappoint. The Octopus was yummy. Shout out to the sommelier. Forgot her name. But she had a black Gucci belt on.. great job recommending the bottle of orange wine from Spain. I will be back !!! You guys were so kind to us.

    Hi Annabelle, Thank you so much for the incredible review! We’re absolutely delighted that your first visit to Santa Fe—and to our restaurant—was such a memorable one. It means a lot coming from a self-proclaimed foodie! We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Daniel, Chef Angel Franco, and our sommelier Kristina Bustamante (she’ll love the Gucci belt shout-out!). We’re thrilled you enjoyed the Hamachi, Octopus, and whole Branzino—sounds like you made some excellent menu choices! We can’t wait to welcome you back next time you’re in town. Until then, cheers from all of us!
