I was at Palmer’s for an anniversary party with friends, and everything about the evening was wonderful. The food and atmosphere were excellent, but the service truly went above and beyond.
A big shoutout to our wait staff…Morgan, Tyler, and Kyle. They were incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely seemed to enjoy serving. You could tell they have a natural gift for hospitality. Even with a very large party, they handled everything with ease and such positive attitudes.
If you dine here, I highly recommend requesting them. They were fantastic! Their sweet, joyful personalities made it feel like friends were taking care of us. We absolutely loved them!

Nice place, but dated in decor and dark. Started with the Brie appetizer. It was nice, but got cold very quickly. I wouldn’t get that again. Loved the short rib enchiladas and the Texas margarita. Enchiladas were served with rice and zucchini, which I love, but would rather have had rice and black beans. Service was amazing. We came in a little after 4 pm and were asked if we had a reservation. Restaurant was almost empty, but maybe they expect you to make a reservation.

I’m from Houston and drove to San Marcos for a dinner symposium for work that was being held at Palmer’s. The atmosphere is great! Super elegant and clean restaurant. The drinks were great as well as the charcuterie, salad, and dessert of berries and cream. The ribeye, however, was the worst I’ve ever had in my life. Of the people that ordered the ribeye, everyone sent it back picked over. I was able to eat the mashed potatoes and zucchini but that “steak” was so bad. It seemed to be very low quality meat. The server was super attentive and restrooms were clean. I would go back if in town but I know to avoid their steak. The management should try to get to the bottom of this issue.

We had a delicious dinner and our server was friendly, knowledgeable and overall great. The manager, Monte, came by 2x asking if we needed anything. He learned we were fresh in from Boston and gave us all kinds of insider tips to the area! I ordered the Signature Chicken which I never would have (as I cook chicken all the time!)but.. .The goat cheese and preach preserves were outstanding! We loved everything about this restaurant!

We came for cocktails and at at the cocktail bar section. We only ordered the charcuterie and salmon to share. Both dishes were good but in my strongest opinion, not worth the price. As for the cocktails, we each had a variety of martinis and all were superb! Will definitely come back just for the ambiance and cocktails.

Me and my boyfriend have been to Palmers multiple times, and will continue to come! Truly one of our favorite restaurants ever. We spent his 22nd birthday here, and our dining experience was amazing. Our server, Sam, gave such good recommendations and he was very thoughtful throughout our time there.

Came here for dinner on a Tuesday night. We were seated immediately, all of the food was excellent. Tyler was our server and he did a fantastic job, was very knowledgeable about the menu. Monte came and checked on our table even offered us samples of the short rib and candied pecans. Top notch service!

This was our first time visiting Palmer’s since moving to San Marcos two years ago. I honestly did not know that places like this still existed. This is an old school upscale restaurant that isn’t trying to be anything new or modern and I loved it. The atmosphere was quiet, refined and unassuming. The food was good, quality food made with true excellence. Everything we had was superb. The service was perfect. Our server was attentive without hovering. I can’t wait to have another meal at this beautiful place.

From the moment we walked up, we were mesmerized by the vibe of this restaurant/bar! The waitress, Paris P, was a fantastic server. The food was well worth the wait, and the special purchase of a Bourbon Gift for Dad (1806 Old Fashioned, rocks glass and pecans) was a great touch! Will def I nicely return!!
