While the Palace Kitchen is certainly an expensive night out for most budgets, it is also an extremely gracious one. The ambience is satisfyingly lush, and the space is interesting with its horseshoe shaped bar. The wine list is lovely. When you glance at the menu, you may at first be put off by the idea of paying such premium prices for relatively simple fare. But therein lies Tom Douglas’s artistry; he has a way of making the commonplace extraordinary, and turning out exquisitely balanced dishes.
Open late and usually busy, the service here is a bit less attentive than I normally expect from fine dining. Otherwise excellent.
