   Great casual comfy seating, nice ambiance. Food and drinks came out incredibly fast. Only dings was (1) truffle fries were $34?!? Crazy expensive and said “truffle essence” which means not even real truffles and (2) on service - took awhile to get a waiter to our table, he never came back to check on us in 90 mins. Missed opportunity to get us to buy more drinks/food. We would have if he had asked. Restaurant probably lost $50+ on is due to this. Were never offered dessert, which we also would have considered. Overall though, given it was busy, can be overlooked and would come back. All food was very good quality. Kumamoto oysters were excellent.

   We had breakfast at Palma a few mornings during our stay at the Santa Monica Proper. Everything we had was delicious, and the service was amazing. It’s a beautiful space as well.

   Palma is one of those places you go because you want a nice relaxed atmosphere, and wide open spaces, but indoors. It’s really a nice warm, cozy, setting, and we love coming here. The food is really good and tastefully served. All of the wait staff are so nice. The only complaint is that you are kind of left on your own and do have to ask for coffee refills, water refills, the check, can we order dessert, etc. those things certainly won’t deter us from coming back just be aware that these things happen.

   Ambiance is amazing, food was delicious. Only negative was I had made a lunch reservation for 3 in advance but then was put at a random group table as all of the nicer alcove seats and tables looked to be taken over by hotel guests just lounging. This was a Monday at 12pm so not prime time on a weekend. I understand hotels want to prioritize their guests but it was like why even take a reservation if my party will just be put to a random table for 8 when it’s only 3 of us? Everything was also a bit pricey. For three entrees, an appetizer, two beers, and a juice totally came to about $230 including tip. Would recommend the rooftop bar area for a lunch instead of Palma.

   I had such a great time at Palma , beautiful ambiance, design & I love a good Ceasar Salad - this one was so good. I also had a BrainLatte from Surya' Spas Wellness menu which I really enjoyed after my spa service. Can't wait to visit again 🥗🍵🌿

    We thoroughly enjoyed our entire meal from the cocktails to the dessert. Only negative is we are in our 60s and 70s and the seating is not very conducive to eating a meal at low cocktail tables.

    Great ambiance, a beautiful interior, attentive service, and great food. The cocktails are overpriced and the wine list is limited. There were not a lot of red choices under $100 but our server helped pick one that was great and under $100. It is definitely a lounge, the tables are low so if you are tall, not that comfortable to sit and eat dinner. I didn't realize this when I booked the reservation. If you plan to order food, I would recommend ordering something that is easy to eat.

    They do not put actual prices on their menu and charge a “wine tax” that is not disclosed on either the menu or check, instead they just change the price.

    Lovely ambiance and definitely where all the cool, hip people hang out, but at the end of the day one has to ask: is it worth it? The food in Palma was OK, nothing to write home about. We had a very nice server but as soon as 8 o’clock struck, the music was turned up so loud, we could hardly hear each other shouting across the table. Guests pay $60 per night for parking otherwise $15 for two hours.

    Made reservations to have Thanksgiving dinner with my husband. He ordered the pre fix Thanksgiving dinner and I ordered the Spinach Bucatini Pomodoro with salmon and pre fix wine. The only thing we liked was the pre fix wine tasting. My husband’s Thanksgiving dinner and dessert was room temperature and the Spinach Bucatini I ordered was weirdly slimy because the pasta was undercooked and had either too much butter or oil. The food was mediocre and the service was subpar, our waiter seemed too busy to check on us. The best thing about our dinner was when the sommelier came over to introduce himself and explained the types of wine I had ordered. This demonstrated his passion for what he does, we greatly appreciated this kind gesture. Based on the quality of the food, and poor customer service, we will not be returning to this restaurant.

    The ambience is absolutely beautiful, the service staff both hosting and wait service, was outstanding! My biggest pet peeve is the food is at best mediocre and yet some of the most expensive you will find in Santa Monica! I had two margaritas that were very small, but were $50! I don’t mind paying for a good drink, but this was a bit ridiculous. The appetizers were in the $30 range and they were not very good. I had a pasta dish that was so completely undercooked I couldn’t eat it. Still, the wait staff was very considerate and accommodating but there’s only so much they could do to make up for the lack of talent in the kitchen

    Love the ambience of this place & the service is outstanding! The host greeted us with a lovely smile & was very pleasant. We were promptly seated for our reservation. Our server Collin was truly exceptional, he made our experience top tier. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu & wine list, made great recommendations & was so enjoyable! He was very attentive & ensured that our order modifications for food came out as we requested. If you plan to come here, ask for him, you won’t regret it! The chop salad is really delicious!! Can’t wait to come back here again soon!

    Didn't actually have food. Survey wouldn't submit without a value on that. Cocktails we tried were spectacular. Selection seemed to be a short list, but quality. I maybe should have conversed with the bartender to learn more options. Ambience was super-nice (as expected). Some food scrap was left dropped on the floor beneath our table by a prior guest, and was attended to after we noticed it. From Palma we took the elevator to the rooftop and enjoyed that space as well. Thank you for several pleasant surprises.
