    Overall highly enjoyable experience. However. Asked for a larger table and was told none available. Spent the whole lunch on a small table, looking at a large (empty) table next to ours. the larger table remained empty until we were about to leave when one person arrived with no other guests. Disappointing when there was clearly a table available. Literally next to the small table we were told was the only one available.

    While the food, particularly the caramelized onion tart and the crème brûlée, was outstanding, it was the service that really bumps the Palm Court up to 5+ stars. Both our waitress and the waiter who followed her, whose names we unfortunately did not get, were wonderful. We were there to celebrate my wife’s birthday and had notified the restaurant when I made the reservation. They greeted her like family, with a warm birthday wish and a surprise birthday desert (the crème brûlée) that was accompanied by a card signed by the entire staff! Little gestures like that sometimes make all the difference, and that certainly did. Even without that, the food was outstanding, but the service was spectacular.

    My wife and I eat here regularly. Yesterday we also took two friends. They were as impressed as we always are by Prixe Fixe. Hugely helpful and efficient staff. Great choice on the fixed price menu. Beautifully cooked food. Good value wine list, which allows for glasses and carafes as well as bottles.
