Very elegant dining experience. Would recommend dressing nicer rather than casual. A more dark lit, intimate setting. We were thankful to have good, attentive service. However, one note I would add is in the reservation we mentioned we were celebrating a birthday, when upon arrival, we were not asked, nor was anything included in the night. I say this because most of the tables around us were asked immediately what the occasion was or was brought up that they saw the table were there to celebrate a special occasion. The food was tasty. We both agreed the crab cakes were completely the star of the show! Then second would be the baklava dessert, sweet ending to the evening. Our orders of how our meat was to be cooked must’ve been mixed up because my lamb was way more raw than medium and the duck was more on the done side than rare. We would still return and try different dishes because they all looked so delicious

We have been looking to try this restaurant for a while now. We are so glad we finally stopped in to see what they are all about. The dining room is beautiful. The food is delicious. And the service was some of the best we’ve had in Fresno.

This was excellent!! Sea bass outstanding. Hubby says beet salad was best he ever had. Wonderful experience. We went here because we couldn't get into Maxi's and we are so glad!!!

Love the style of this restaurant. The bartender was so sweet, made my cocktail while I waited for my friend. I reserved a table and requested a booth and we got it . The drinks were yummy, and pretty with the little rose added to it. Our appetizers were our servers choice, great recommendations I loved the mushroom rolls. I liked the ahi tuna sauce it had that perfect amount of wasabi. Our main courses were salmon and sea bass. I had the Seabass, let me tell you, I couldn’t say anything bad about the flavor or texture of the fish… normally I steer away from fish plates with the worry I wouldn’t get a sufficient size or it would be dry. But The Palm served! It was so juicy and like butter! And the risotto was an excellent pair! I was so full after! No room for dessert! Price was for sure reasonable! I want to come back with the hubby for date night ! 💕

Went to The Palms last night for date night. The food was absolutely delicious, but the service was not great. As soon as we walked in, the staff and manager(older woman with white hair) seemed to look down upon us. Mind you we are a younger couple, which didn’t seem like their usual clientele. Our drinks took way too long to get filled. The waitress checked on other tables 5 times before ours got checked on once. Bad experience but the food made it better.

Appetizers are really good here. Had the short rib and it's awesome (very similar to pot roast)

It was my first time. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was beautiful. The host who came to our table to check on us 5 stars. She was absolutely amazing. I had never had duck. I'm glad i did. It was good. Drinks and appetizers were good. I'm glad we came here for our anniversary dinner. I highly recommend it.

This is one of my top 3 must visits if you are in Fresno. Every visit, every time I've been there I leave full and impressed. The staff go out of their way to attend to you and the food will change your life.
