Palmer's is Back and Better Than Ever!
Palmer’s is back! I enjoyed an elegant cocktail and an incredible meal in a gorgeously decorated space. While I wish the large flatscreen TVs were omitted, Palmer’s is always solid, and I’m so glad it’s back open. The atmosphere and service were both a perfect 5/5, and the food also received a perfect 5/5.

Our Favorite Neighborhood Spot!
As Sagar Thakur, I can confidently say that we love Palmer's. It's our go-to local neighborhood spot that we've been frequenting for years. The atmosphere is great, it's kid-friendly, and the service is excellent. Plus, they serve terrific cocktails!

Palmer's Elegant Comeback
Palmer's has made a triumphant return with its old-school elegance after a two-year renovation. The restaurant boasts a classic long bar, comfortable booth seating with plush red upholstery, and outdoor tables. A thoughtful touch is the inclusion of USB charger sockets at each seat. The menu is extensive, offering everything from snacks to full-course meals. Drinks are reasonably priced, with wine and champagne by the glass for $13 and full bottles available, as well as drafts for $8. It's a versatile spot, perfect for game day, a romantic date, a business meeting, or a fancy night out.

Fabulous and Cozy Place!
My experience at this restaurant was absolutely fabulous and cozy. The decor was so fun, especially the leg lamp! I really appreciated the old-school charm of the leather booths. I hope they open again or that the new owners take good care of the place.

Perfect Steak Frites and Great Atmosphere
My experience at the restaurant was filled with good memories. The steak frites was perfect, and I highly recommend ordering it medium-rare. They also have Anchor on tap, which is a nice touch. The atmosphere was great, with only one TV, contributing to a pleasant dining experience.

Iconic Pub with Delicious Classics
My experience at this restaurant was wonderful. It's a beautiful and iconic place with a high-end pub feel. I particularly enjoyed the classic deviled eggs and curry fries, which were delicious. It's a proper lunch spot.
