    The food was excellent. I was not asked how I wanted my beef kabab to be cooked but it was still delicious to eat. There is no menu for drinks so you need to know what you want to order beforehand.

    First time here. Came for Mother’s Day lunch. Ambiance was very nice and the restaurant was beautiful inside. My mimosa came with a miniature rose clipped to the rim of the glass which was a lovely surprise! Service was excellent and the food was delicious. Portions were very generous. Will most certainly be back. Thank you for a wonderful Mother’s Day lunch!

    First of all, we waited at the bar for 10 minutes without anyone acknowledging us. This was after we asked the hostess if we could get a drink first since we were early. The hostess walked by and I asked if there was a bartender. Apparently there is not a bartender but the servers get the drinks for their own customers. She got our server and we were served drinks. When we were seated at our table, I asked about the menu items. We were told that they were out of a lot of menu items and she would check with the kitchen and let us know what they had available. She didn’t return, so we called the Lime Lite. We left and had the BEST meal and service.

    Elegant restaurant. Live piano music. Great service. The duck breast was very good. The filet was disappointing. It did not look, cut, or taste like filet mignon. Some other cut of meat. Other diners' meals looked appetizing. Lots of choices on the menu. Would return, notwithstanding one disappointment.

    The Palms restaurant has an amazing ambiance for date night or celebrating the special occasion. The entree and salads are the best in town ! They have craft cocktails and a wine/champagne list to suit everyone’s palate. The wait staff is exceptionally attentive and on point. 5 ⭐️

    Our first time here. Restaurant was lovely inside. Waitress and wait staff were friendly and professional although we were seated for quite some time before anyone made contact with us. Cesar salad was very good as were the truffle mashed potatoes. Unfortunately, my filet mignon (which was ordered medium rare) was tough and dry. My husband's pork chop was also tough and overcooked. We don't drink and did not have dessert. So can't speak to that but our bill with tip was over $140. Dinner was a huge disappointment to say the least.

    We usually go to the Cracked Pepper or similar, but thought we'd change it up and tried The Palms. Wasn't terrible but won't be going back. My drink was excellent. We ordered a cheese platter as an appetizer and the server had no idea what types of cheese was on the platter. She went and asked someone and still wasn't sure. Our entrees were okay. My New York steak was cooked as requested, but just wasn't very flavorful. The platting wasn't great, and the quality was just okay. We got there early, and it was quiet, but filled up while we were there and was actually pretty loud.

    First thing we noticed was the temperature. Cold not comfortable. Everyone had jackets sweaters on. Asked for a more cozy spot and our waitress responded immediately. Had the Chilean sea bass. A bit gamy but a large portion Web site said $34.00. Charge was 49.00. Doubt we will return. Too many other places

Our waitress was very pleasant Cassandra “Cassie”. She knew all of the specials. Hands down best place to eat at in Fresno. This spot is unrated if ask me. Food is mouth watering and very flavorful. Best for the last the dessert was amazing!!!

    Perfect except the quality of the meat was far less than expected and quite a disappointment. Such a shame. So far I have discovered that if you want a great steak in Fresno, Ruth Chris is the place. If you want sea bass, this is your place, it was phenomenal.
