What People Are Saying About Palace Cafe
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – Housed in the old Werlein's Music building, Palace Cafe features an airy, split-level dining room with an art nouveau staircase, towering iron columns and ochre-yellow walls that shimmer in afternoon light. Local businessmen and upscale tourists occupy the understated linen-clothed tables and half-round banquette seats. Favorites include Gulf shrimp with fried green tomatoes and remoulade, poached oysters in rosemary cream and andouille-crusted Gulf fish.

by nolafoodiegirl
This restaurant is the total package with flavorful food, fantastic atmoshpere and top notch service. I love this place! Shrimp Tchefuncte - a favorite. Turtle soup - excellent. The salad with fried oysters is superb. Just a few of my favorites that stick out.
- Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Service
- Cons: Parking

Awful Experience
by kristenhayer
We just visited this restaurant tonight. Although we had a reservation at 8:30 it took 30 minutes to seat our party and another 30 minutes for our server to take our order. My dinner order was wrong, and the server argued with me about what I had ordered. Then, after another 20 minutes of waiting I finally had my order but my fellow diners with done with their dinners. We decided to stay for dessert, and I ordered a dessert wine. About 10 minutes after everyone else's desserts were delivered and they had started eating, the server informed me that they were out of the wine I ordered. Not only was there no acknowledgement that any of this was a problem, but nothing was comped on our bill. Lucky for me, I was the one paying the bill. This place was recommended by our hotel and we had great expectations. Big disappointment.
- Cons: Horrible Service

Dont go there if you want good food..
by djdiva
We happen to go there for Sunday Brunch and had to wait for a bit even though we made reservations.. it was very crowded and noisy. The "band" a two guy band was playing great music on the stairway and the service was ok.. It was a bit confussing to tell who was who!! We had too many people waiting on us. The apps were ok but somewhat dry. But the REAL KICKER was my dish.. I had a shrimp dish that had some sort of sauce, shrimp, and mushrooms.. BUT the rice after two take backs where CRUNCHY!! We had to tell a Mang that didnt work there but worked at Dicky Brennens.. and he brought my plate back with spagetti to try. He was great but the food was just not so.
Cant say that i would be back there at all. We have a Brennens here in Houston and this place is not like our Brennens here in Houston..
- Pros: on canal
- Cons: food was blahh!!
