    Best meal experience we've had in a while. The dining room looks out over a pond with water fowl. Equine theme of artwork in dining area was pleasant. Lindsey our server was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and attentive without being overly so. She gracefully helped us select menu alternatives due to some medical issue we have. The food was outstanding. The flavors subtle and the food hot when received. They prepared the salmon to tender perfection. Too bad I can't rate it 6 stars.

    We decided to celebrate our 28th Anniversary for the first time with Palmers. Definitely wasn’t expecting to have the place to ourselves. We think it was because of the weather? The food was good except for our brownie dessert. The brownie was dry and hard to eat. Our server was good but was surprised to hear that we were celebrating our anniversary. Which made us think that they did not read over our request and why we were dinning with them. Over all the food was good and service too. We will be back. Just won’t be ordering the brownie dessert.

    Tabitha provided excellent service! Overall pricing on apostle and some meals is a bit high, but the food was very good as well. Atmosphere a bit bland.
