The Palms- Bring Cash
Well, we made it to the Palms for the first time. Right next door to Little Jerusalem a new favorite for us.
No real parking at the Palms itself so parked across the street. We came 5ish but the kitchen does not open until 6pm. We walked around the area and came back sat down. Opened the menu and saw Cash Only. Well, we just blew 80 in cash and only had 40ish. So, Ordered drinks and made a dash to not one,not two,but three ATMs. Had to cross the street and go to Texaco station for ATM that worked. Almost $9 bucks to get $100.
Drizzling rain walking back.
The welcome and service is very good. They take great pride in this and it shows.
But I don’t think we picked the best menu items.
Ordered the Pao steamed bun appetizer. These things are awesome in Asia, soft and light with a tasty filling. Here, not same thing. Kind of like Sloppy Joe meat in a toughish bun that needed a knife to cut.
We shared the drunken ribs and whole snapper.
The ribs were very good. Meaty and tender and mash potatoes good.
The whole snapper was small and pan fried. We had to pick through alot of bones in nearly every fork full for little pieces of meat. Unfortunately,the juice was not worth the squeeze. We’d rather have a decent size fillet broiled or baked in lemon garlic butter or almondine. I think they had to cook it whole because the fillets would be too small and thin.
The Rice and beans were ok.
Anyway, maybe the steak and prawns would have been a better choice but they talked the snapper special and their ribs.
Top shelf margarita was excellent even though it came in a regular rocks glass.
Service was excellent and friendly and quick.
We dont get the no credit card decision in the tourist business. Ok at a beach shack, unsat when dinner bills approach $100+.
We’d try again some day but are more likely to visit their next door neighbor if in the area.
