Diana Restrepo Copher
Dinner at Palmers was a great experience. We were lucky enough to get seated right away, and we got a table outside. However, we wanted a different table so we requested a change, and were told that we would be switching servers as well, so I felt like it was going to be a bit of trouble and desisted. To my surprise, Jenny, our -above and beyond- server, came back 10 mins later and said we could seat at the table we wanted and that she’ll keep being our server. 20/10 to this girl! -Now, every staff member we dealt with while there was friendly and kind-.

This place is excellent! All staff was friendly and well mannered. All 4 courses were expertly prepared and served fresh! Sitting by the water on a cool (for July) evening was a real plus! Delicious food, friendly staff and beautiful setting, what else could you ask for!

The shrimp and grits was tasty. Presentation is a 10 out of 10. I would like my tacos to have been warmer. It was really large portions which is a plus. The bread and oil was phenomenal. The service approach was interesting it was like being served by an team of people which was nice. Overall it’s a great experience.

Palmer’s was amazing! Everything we ate was delicious, especially the Seafood Queso, Catfish, and Key Lime Pie. I can’t wait to go back and try more menu items—there was so much I wish I could have ordered! The lake in front of the restaurant was beautiful, too.

Bryce my server was great and the salmon was excellent. Great outdoor seating along the lake. Parking is kind of odd – you go around pavilion to the parking lot between the Embassy Suites and down those set of stairs to enter.

Palmer’s and manager Laurie were tremendously helpful in helping us coordinate our wedding reception! Everyone was so helpful and the food as always was amazing. We did a brunch theme and everything was perfect. Palmer’s knows how to do brunch. Go to Palmer’s for brunch, lunch, dinner, or your event needs. They will be so glad to help you. *Darcy is also a super server. Hopefully you’ll have her if you go.

I have always loved Palmer’s. It is a nice restaurant with delicious food. I always lean heavy on the seafood here as it is delicious. Check the specials each time because some of my favorite meals have been specialis. I usually have a dish I always order at restaurants, but Palmer’s I like trying something new because it all sounds so good. The corn and clam chowder and the seafood queso are consistent must-haves for me. The staff has always been “above and beyond”. Their kid’s menu is great as well, and my son loves the fish strips. The location is lovely as well, stop by Joseph Beth or hang out around the pond afterwards.
