Our new favorite restaurant! From the moment we walked in we were well taken care of. Unlike other local restaurants, Palace has an open and generous feel to it. The service was wonderful throughout and the overall experience was great. There is an extensive wine list and a cocktail menu with a variety of creative drinks. Chef Angel personally recommended the Hamachi Crudo and Chicken Liver Mousse appetizers and he didn’t steer us wrong. They were both fantastic! The Txuleta for Two was perfectly prepared and well seasoned. Amazingly we had room for dessert and the Chocolate Bottom Chess Pie provided a wonderful finish to our meal. We enjoyed the low key vibe and atmosphere. It’s rare to have an experience where the service, atmosphere and meal quality are all top notch.

Had the pleasure of going for my first time and let me tell you, it was worth it! Staff was super attentive, very knowledgeable and friendly.Greeyed us and started the night with complementary drinks. N/a for the wife which was nice they paid attention to detailed.Everything was done right and at a very satisfying time. Went for the birthday with the wife. We got a few appetizers, drinks (mocktails and wine) staff was very patient. Alot of wine and drink choices a separate section for mocktails which the wife loves. Food menu has a ton of options and we had the pleasure to try a few. Def recommend the steak tartare and the hamachi. Both are great mixes and work amazing. Wife did the poached pear, I had the steak tartare, oysters and 2 hamachis I believe they’re called. So good I ordered a second to go. Wife did the tamal and I had the duck with mole on the side. Overall some great food and service. Joaquin and his team did amazing we’ll definitely be going again!

4.5 stats. It’s been a decade since we last ate at the Palace, but we wanted to try it again during Restaurant Week.
Overall, my wife and I enjoyed our meal, the ambience, and the superb service. Most items on the fixed menu can be ordered from the standard menu at any time; the Steak and Frites was apparently a special for restaurant week. We started off with Garlic Shrimp and the HUITLACOCHE TAMAL. Of the two, I thought the Shrimp was a better choice, but I wish it had more garlic (not really detectable), and I didn’t find any Neuske’s bacon. But the shrimp was very good, and the creamy cheddar Parmesan polenta was outstanding. Huitlacoche Tamal was new for us. I looked it up on the site and read, “ Often referred to as ‘Mexican truffles,’ this earthy, smoky fungus is highly prized for its unique, intense flavor.” Well, this Tamal was nice, but I didn’t find the flavor as unique or intense as before. I liked the dish, it’s lovely to look at (see my pic), but I was a bit underwhelmed. For mains, we ordered the steak special and the Dock Confit with Mole. We both love mole and always order it when we see it on a restaurant menu we’re new to. The duck and the mole here were outstanding! I highly recommend this dish. If you are a mole fan, you’ll like the mole served here (it’s a negra mole and it was delightful). It was served with wonderful gnocchi that soaked up the mole so well. The accompanying sweet potatoes were also very good. I ordered the steak frites, the frites being “Parmesan fries”, and they were very good. I asked for the steak med-rare, and it was perfectly cooked, not easy on a cut that is rather thin, like a skirt steak. The flavor was delicious, and it was very juicy, but I’m not sure Skirt Steak was the best cut for this dish. This cut is known for its chewy texture, which our neighbor, who also ordered it, said was ‘tough’. Indeed, this is a far cry from anything like tenderloin or even a great ribeye. I loved the flavor but didn’t love the texture. Perhaps this cut was used to make the restaurant’s 3-course meal very reasonably priced at $55. Palace offers Steak Au Poivre that is a 6oz filet, which alone costs $55, so I can understand the substitution. Overall, I did enjoy the dish, but I will probably pass on a stand-alone Skirt Steak in the future. For dessert, we tried the Flan and the Chocolate Budino. The flan was my favorite. I’m rather picky about flan, and this town has so many Restaurants that serve it. At Palace, the texture was perfect, the flavor spot on. My wife loved the Budion, I thought it was too sweet. I also didn’t think the chocolate used was ideal, complex enough to be the dessert’s main star. Service was outstanding! Our server was Cree. The entire team at Palace did a great job, and I really like the overall feel of the restaurant, the vibe. It isn’t pretentious, but it is still fine dining. The ambience is quiet, the booths comfortable, and my wife and I will absolutely return.

What a fabulous place the dining room ambience is over the top fantastic really love the black walls. The black floor great lighting on the artwork and the colorful ceiling. Super cool. For those that want a little bit more color and brightness. The other dining room is just as nice But with lighter walls Decent wine List (for Santa Fe) all of our dishes were prepared perfectly and were quite yummy and tasty. The service starting at the host stand and into the dining room with our server was fantastic. Really professional well done, with just the right amount of chattiness

We had a fantastic experience here last night. We sat at the bar, and Angelo absolutely crushed it! He made us some incredible drinks and was fun, attentive, and clearly knows his craft. It set the tone for the whole evening.
Lilly Anne was our server and took great care of us as well. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and perfectly paced everything.
Food-wise, we ordered the tuna carpaccio, hamachi crisp, beef tartare, and the garlic shrimp, and every single one of those dishes was outstanding. Fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The garlic shrimp in particular was a standout.
We also tried the tamal, which was the only miss for us-we wouldn’t order that one again, but honestly, everything else more than made up for it.
Amazing drinks, excellent service, and some truly memorable dishes. We’ll definitely be back (and sitting at the bar again).

We sat in the lounge area and I loved the vibe! Our waiter was so cute and nice, both of our cocktails were amazing and we had the best beef tartare we’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be back the next time. I’m in town.!

Delicious food, great service and nice atmosphere. We had the Tamale as an appetizer and hamburger for our main course and enjoyed both.
Also had a really nice margarita as part of the margarita trail here. Would reccomend to others looking for a nice dinner spot.

The server was amazing. The manager was so kind. The food was good. Carbonara came out a bit cold (7/10) but the Brussels sprouts were amazing 9/10. The 40oz steak was awesome 9/10! Mango sorbet was good 8/10

Parked by the plaza,had an early business dinner on a Monday night. No wait. Great service. Tried the Huitlacoche Tamal starter, which was great and a generous portion, and then had Steak Au Poivre, absolutely great. The atmosphere was what I’d expect for an early 5:30pm slot, but im sure it would have been great later on.

The drinks are perfectly crafted. And every dish we had was incredible… right down to dessert. Highly recommend. Been to Santa Fe many times and never been here but it will now be a regular stop for us wherever we’re here. A++++ all the way… and the two ladies who took care of us at the bar were amazing!
