I was reluctant to try this restaurant as I had wanted to people watch down by Bourbon St but my family saw this menu for Palace Cafe and felt it was worth checking out. I will admit that the restaurant is elegant inside and we were able to sit at a window seat from the upstairs which was nice. The air conditioning was on very high and although we declined, the kind waitstaff took note and offered us chef coats! I opted for the strawberry goat cheese salad and we also ordered a few small plates which were half price for happy hour. The fondue small plate was absolutely delicious. For dessert we ordered the bananas foster which another reviewer had raves about. It certainly met our expectations as it was prepared right at our table! Lastly, I asked our waitress if they had cream should I decide to order a coffee (I’ve found some places only have milk so I’ve started to ask before I order). I was completely disappointed when she said yes, but then brought milk...however she redeemed herself when I asked again and she said they didn’t have half and half but could check the kitchen for heavy cream (perhaps she didn’t hear me when I asked the first time?). She came out a few minutes later with my request which was greatly appreciated. Given the service, the food, and the ambiance, I would definitely recommend making a visit to Palace Cafe.

I attended Palace Cafe's jazz brunch, which I was delighted to find they had on Saturday mornings. Upon arriving, I asked for a table for one (a colleague of mine was in a meeting). They said it would be between a 45 and 60 minute wait or I could take a seat at the bar. I opted for the bar, but a seat here also took about 15 minutes to open up. The atmosphere is very busy and lively, as it is a popular spot at this time of day. The jazz trio was wonderful, but the amount of people within the area made it very difficult to hear any music. I ordered the fried oyster salad, which I found to be a bit bland and I needed to use a significant amount of hot sauce on it (and I'm from the North!). Other than four fried oysters and greens, there wasn't much to it. It was a decent price, but would rather have something smaller with other textures, flavors, etc. I had waited a long time for my salad and the person who sat in my general vicinity ordered the same dish (about 30 minutes after mine). The chef came out to apologize for the wait and mistakenly apologized to the man, who then received his dish before mine as I continued to wait. If the jazz trio was not on site, I would not return due to the lack of seasoning and disorganization that led to me receiving little to no attention and the chef mistakenly presenting my order to another customer, who gladly accepted after ordering only ten minutes ago. However, as it does add ambiance and the availability of the jazz brunch on Saturdays and Sundays, I would go again - perhaps only for a cappuccino and a bread board.

Cool atmosphere in the French Quarter area - has a retro 30s or 40s vibe, and was able to accommodate our large family group. Very helpful and friendly waitstaff. A nice place for quality upscale dining. However, lacking in options for vegetarian or vegan customers - please provide a few more options! Thank you.

Where do I begin...? The place is exquisite. The service is amazing. The food is divine. The ambiance takes you back to 1950s N'awlins. The drinks are superb. The bananas Foster is made table side with all the pomp and circumstance of a magic show!
