Palm Palm is a modern American restaurant inspired by the bright, fresh flavors of the coasts and elevated by a thoughtful cocktail program. Our philosophy is rooted in genuine hospitality — creating a warm, engaging atmosphere where every guest feels welcomed, cared for, and made to feel special. The menu is crafted around small plates meant to be enjoyed together, encouraging guests to mix, match, and sample a variety of flavors, alongside large plates for a more traditional dining experience. On Saturdays and Sundays, we shift gears with a full a la carte brunch menu, offering hearty, individual entrees and brunch classics. Guests can choose from regular dining tables, bar-top seating, and lounge seating along with a patio when weather allows. If our main dining room is fully booked, we’re always happy to accommodate walk-ins at the bar, lounge, and patio.
