Palmers was not busy when we went in but we had made a reservation regardless so we wouldn’t have a wait. We were seated immediately. Our server arrived shortly after seating and was very helpful with choosing a starter. We had the calamari which was served on a bed of cabbage with a slightly spicy peanut sauce drizzled over it. It was very good! I had a wonderful grilled salmon salad and my son had the Caribbean chicken salad. Both salads had nice fresh mixed greens. Our server was attentive and helpful throughout our meal. I highly recommend Palmers!

Delores was the BEST server we’ve had at any restaurant in a long time. She understands how to speak to people which most do not know how to do these days. We appreciated her and will definitely request her every time we go.
