About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Lively
  • Great for happy hour
At Palmer's, we are a Fillmore District staple, with a warm and nostalgic, yet contemporary atmosphere. We provide our friends and neighbors a gathering spot with classic cocktails, an extensive whiskey selection and an exceptional menu to pair. Our chef prepares traditional comfort food with fresh, local inspiration. Dishes such as house made flat breads, bacon wrapped prawns, crispy truffle fries, steak and chops, and sage gnocchi with duck bognese make our menu quite delectable..

    We got there and it was closed so we went somewhere else. They should not accept reservations if not going to be open

    Always a great standby when you you just want something reliable. Very good comfort food. Excellent cocktails. The only reason I marked quiet is because we sat outside. Otherwise this place is loud when hopping. Food was a little rushed...but nothing crazy. Will go back again and again

    A friendly, neighborhood kind of place that feels like an old club (tufted leather sofas, etc.). Generally OK, but drawbacks are the very high noise level at dinner, and food that is OK, but not excellent.

    Great happy hour from 4-6 with a wide variety of food and drink options on their regular menu. The staff was friendly and attentive.

    One mistake with the food order but otherwise the server was nice and attentive. Food was solid. However, we were seated next to a group of ten and the noise level was borderline unbearable. This is a bar/pub atmosphere so noise is to be expected, but we could barely hear each other. So bring your boisterous group but leave your hard of hearing granny at home.

    Even though I was not 100% satisfied, nor were my companions, I will still go back there. Though we ordered drinks before the food, the food came before the drinks. Salt free food arrived salty. Noise was almost insufferable at times. I still love the general atmosphere and convenient location near where my chorus practices and performs. Menu is varied and drinks are creative.
