Reviews for The Palace Grill in Santa Barbara, CA
Every time I hear Santa Barbara, I always think of this restaurant. I LOVE THE FOOD!!! Ever since I ate there, I couldn't stop... thinking about the cray fish :-) They have that combo where you can choose 3 items, and I got to try 3 different dishes. Theywere just so good. I also tried their famous souffle for dessert, you must try it. It takes at least 20 min to prepare, so youhave to order ahead of time. I've been to this place many times, and will always try to visit again when I'm in town. Read more
We had a large party, they added a mandatory 20% tip which I would not have minded if there had been decent service. We were in... the second room (the first/primary room is much better for ambiance, action and maybe servers). We had a hard time gettingwater, our check, food, etc. We had to go to the woman at the front desk to beg for water and service multiple times. The foodwas alright but some didn't care for it. We didn't get our food until we had been there an hour and a half and we had somechildren who got tired of waiting. There were some interesting things to see, people were friendly and we were able to getreservations, which was nice. We liked the drinks. Read more
One of my favorite restaurants in the world. Great food, decent drinks (try the Cajun martini) and obscene desserts in a fun,... festive atmosphere. Most nights the entire restaurant sings Louie Armstrong's What a Wonderful World. How cool isthat? Personal notes: Cajun martini has a great presentation. Jambalaya is good but wish it were more bold. (UPDATE: Still notas much flavor as I want) The royal pasta is epic. It has so much flavor. Its big enough for two. The pork chop is great. It hasa brown sugar sauce that's awesome.(UPDATE: No longer on menu but sometimes as a special.). The gumbo appetizer is a must. CajunCrawfish Popcorn is a great appetizer. Finding a parking spot is very challenging. Read more
Truly the best Gumbo we have ever had, and we are from New Orleans... Very solid food, great service and a very pleasant... atmosphere. Can't go wrong here. Order your dessert souffle early! Read more
Do yourself a favor and come here for dinner to celebrate something. Anything. Not only do they have incredible food and... friendly staff, they have pint sized craft cocktails for $16 and organize restaurant-wide singing during dinner. There's also amagician who may come by if you're waiting a while for your pork chop or bread pudding (well worth the wait). From the food, tothe service, to the drinks, to the singing, this place cheered me up. I honestly love this place so much and cannot wait to comeback! Read more
Sometimes living in SB we forget about awesome places we have in “our backyard” We have been visiting the Palace since it... opened. Last night, Mondo and the staff put out an excellent spread of food, accompanied by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Theteam at the Palace made visiting Jennifer feel like Royalty. We will always turn to the Palace for a great meal and funevening!! Read more
This was a very cute place and the ambiance was cozy as well. The food was delicious and came out fast, we wanted a good drink... but non alcoholic and our waitress Robyn made a good suggestion of a fruity margarita. Me and my friend will come back as weenjoyed ourselves very much. Very good food, portions and friendly service. Read more
We ordered the Cajun popcorn, oysters, palace salad and the blackened redfish. I really like the redfish.
