    We enjoyed our first visit to Palace Prime. We were eating light, so my husband had the beef carpaccio (he raved about it, very tender and flavorful) and the crab cake (full of crab and browned on the top). I had the risotto special (cacio e pepe with truffle shavings) and a Caesar salad with Spanish anchovies. These also were very tasty and a nice-sized portion. Our server was helpful and attentive but not overly so. We enjoyed the beautiful red and gray interior, a change from the usual Santa Fe style decorating that is common here. Finally, we LOVED that the restaurant was quiet and conducive to conversation, even with a few large groups near us. The fabric-covered ceiling tiles must have helped. This all made for a lovely evening.

    Food and service were very good. Out only disappointment was they made a change in their menu for New Years and removed one of our favorite items from the menu. The Shrimp Lousiane is always fantastic and it not being available was a big disappointment.
