    We dined here for lunch and had halibut salmon entrées. We added a side of mashed potatoes and ended with the chocolate cake. Everything was fabulous and the service was wonderful.

    Another enjoyable luncheon at Paul Martin's. I had the Chicken Wrap and my friend had the luncheon Salmon. I enjoyed my wrap, but she found her salmon a bit too fishy tasty. Wine was delicious. Service was great as usual.

    Food was excellent service was slow to almost non existent when we arrived. We are not complainers but we eventually had to go ask if they knew who our waiter was. They looked busy but not that busy, there were empty tables near by. With so many selections of restaurants in the spectrum center, they should step it up.

    My dish did not mention that there would be 6 tons of garlic in it. And I’m allergic to garlic and when I got home, it made me sick. It tasted good, but there was way too much garlic in it, and I literally was sick.

    I enjoy having lunch here because the atmosphere is relaxing, and dining room is spacious and classy looking. The servers are very friendly, although I have a hard time understanding what they are saying due to thick accents. The food is always fresh and appetizing, and the lunch menu prices are very affordable.

    I’ve eaten at PM several times and always had a good experience, but this time was really disappointed. Food had a funny taste and felt more like a trip to Applebees, just more expensive. The next time I’m in town will eat somewhere else.

    Very enjoyable brunch. Everyone liked the prefix menu. I would say maybe a bit more variety in the morning cocktails maybe. The champagne lemonade was kinda strong before noon. Overall great experience and professional staff.
