    Nice experience but not great. Service generally good with a few mistakes. Jazz bands were great, very personable and played your requests. Food was average in our opinion

    Food was very good. Mushroom crostini appetizer was excellent! Seafood Tcheforte (sp?) and seafood pasta both great. Bananas Foster super delish. Service was a bit slow but we were in no hurry so didn't really mind. Would definitely go back.

    We celebrated our 48th wedding anniversary in New Orleans this week and had a very special dinner at the Palace Cafe. We were greeted and after a very short wait we were seated. Our server acknowledged our special occasion and took our drink orders. Our cocktails arrived quickly and we ordered a crabmeat cheesecake for an appetizer which was fabulous! We had a Weirlein Salad and a wonderful shrimp & crabmeat pasta dish for our entrees. We finished our meal with a bananas foster made at our table. This restaurant has never failed to impress us! We will definitely return on our next trip to new Orleans!

    I have eaten at Palace Cafe numerous times in the past with very favorable opinions. This was the first time I have eaten breakfast there. From the very limited menu to the mediocre service, I DO NOT recommend Palace Cafe for breakfast. Eggs overcooked, burnt cheddar biscuits (which had no cheddar that I could locate or taste), and dry grits. For a Brennan's Family restaurant, Palace Cafe was very disappointing.

    Had a lovely lunch at Palace Cafe. I ordered the andouille crusted fish. It was tender and full of flavor. I loved the sauce over it and the warm French bread they serve.
