I ate at Palmer's Restaurant about a month ago with my boyfriend but it wasn't what I thought it would be. I had heard great reviews online about the bar and grill which is why we decided to go, but maybe we went on the wrong night because the service was terrible. The food was good and so was the setting.
Palmer's is really convenient and easy to find since it's on Moore street and on the corner of Hutchinson. I live in Blanco Hall so it's right down the road. The restaurant itself is really nice and not too fancy, but good for a first date or something along those lines. You can either sit inside where the bar is or outside in the courtyard, which is where we ate. It was at night when we ate, but it was still really pretty and there were lit candles on each table, so it had a clam, relaxing vibe. There was a fountain in the middle of the courtyard and tables placed around the fountain. The setting was really peaceful.
If you're looking for something simple, this is not the place to go. The menu consists of Italian dishes, including pastas and they also serve seafood, chicken, and soups and salads. I had the chicken strips (which were really an appetizer) and it came with sweet potato fries. I didnt so much enjoy the fries. Not normal. My boyfriend had the chicken palmer which he liked. The food was good and they have alot of choices. But I really didn't like the sweet potato fries.
Everything was good, but the service was horrible. It was a Wednesday night that we went, and a college age boy was our waiter. It took him 15 minutes after we sat down for him to take our drink order and another 20 after that to take our food order. We never got refills, we had to go inside to the bar to ask for another drink, and while we were waiting for our waiter to pick up our dirty plates, we was sitting with a group of friends that had come to eat. I was so angry at that point. Plus, after asking several times for ketchup, we still didn't get any. Maybe we caught them on a bad night.
I liked the atmosphere of Palmer's and the food was good (minus the fries), but the service could have been better.
