She was incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful, and really made us feel welcome. I started with the bean soup, which was absolutely delicious--warm, flavorful, and comforting. For my main course, I ordered the salmon pasta in vodka sauce, and it was excellent! The salmon was cooked perfectly, and the creamy vodka sauce paired beautifully with the pasta. My husband ordered the Chicken Parmesan, which was also delicious, and we had steamed broccoli on the side. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. We also learned that Palace is a family-owned restaurant and that the owner is Italian, which made the experience feel even more authentic and personal. Between the delicious food and Emerald's wonderful hospitality, we really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend!

Instead of offering an explanation or trying to make it right, I was simply told it was The Joinery's decision because they're located inside The Joinery food hall. I honestly don't know who's responsible--The Super Duper Spot or The Joinery--but passing the blame back and forth doesn't help the customer. If birthday rewards are being discontinued, any rewards that have already been sent out should still be honored through their expiration date. Overall, it was a disappointing experience and a pretty crappy way to treat someone on their birthday.

From the time I was seated, to my waiter (Matthew) service and talking to the owner (Ray). Being from The Villages area, my friend & I like to visit restaurants that are not in our area; usually we go to lunch. My friend got the Chicken Parm & the piece of Chicken was huge & very tender. My choice was the Italian Deli Sandwich which was very yummy. I am a travel agent who does many local bus trips & I am planning on bringing a group of 34 ladies to this establishment. Before I got home, Hailey (Ray's wife) already sent me several group menus. I was very impressed with how quickly Hailey responded. FYI - I did not make a reservation so Ray did not know I was coming over ahead to time. They just treated me like anyone else. I would highly recommend this restaurant for you personal pleasure but also if you have a group who would like to go somewhere different. When you walk in the ambiance is like an upscale place but the pricing is great and compares to other eateries. So do your self a favor & give them a try. You won't regret it.

This restaurant is by far overrated. The ambiance is very dark when you go in with piano music…read moreplaying. The host were rude and didn't have a warm welcome upon arrival. We were seated in the back room for a birthday dinner celebration. The room was extremely dark and we couldn't turn on the other lights because it was connected to the most dustiest ceiling fans that had at least 1/4 of an inch thick of dust. The woman who was coming in and out of the room to pour water in the water glasses had an attitude like she didn't want to be there. I asked her a question about the menu and she very dryly told me "you can't order that unless you are on the other side" then walked away. That's when I was inquiring about the bistro menu. At that point I knew I wasn't going to be able to eat anything there due to their lack of plant based items or even easily adjustable items so I just ate the bruschetta. However when we placed the order for the bruschetta it never came out. So once we asked about it, it was then comped and brought out. Our waiter was very irritated and annoyed it seemed with the large party he had to tend to but his assistant which was a younger more personable guy was way more pleasant to be around. The cost point for the food was beyond the taste and size of the portions. When I asked about kid options, the waiter told me he could have the chef make a kids steak or chicken tenders and fries. It was my mistake for not asking for the price since I assumed it was a kids portion. Granted the tiniest steak did come out I still had to pay over $24 which I would have purchased the regular adult size if that was the case. So some clarity on the menu options for the kids would have been greatly appreciated. I can go on and on about this place but ultimately I would recommend not to go here unless you don't care about customer service or price points. Upon leaving the family event, and getting home I then realized my debit card was never returned to me by our gracious waiter. So once we returned to retrieve the card another day we were greeted with the rudest and most annoyed individuals at the host station. Needless to say we will never ever return.

Wifey and I started with fried zucchini which came with a dipping source. They kind of looked like steak fries. Enjoyable and able to take a few home. We're both had Penne Abruzzi which had sausage, onions and a tasty pomodoro sauce. It came with soup or salad. We both had salad. The restaurant doesn't do substitutions on the soup so it's the soup of the day or salad. They also wouldn't Switch the penne pasta for linguine pasta, only for spaghetti. So we had one spaghetti abruzzi and one penne abruzzi. Being a group of ten each check had a 20% tip added. Also 3.5% added for credit card payment.
