Première expérience pour moi & autant je suis déçu que j'ai malgré tout aimé l'expérience. Nous sommes arrivés en retard de 35 minutes dû au trafic & nous avions essayé d'aviser notre retard mais personne ne prenait nos appels. À l'arrivée, on s'est fait accueillir de façon un peu décevante dut au fait qu'on était en retard probablement. Le service était très froid de la serveuse mais par contre, les suiteurs ont bien ramener le service pour rendre le tout agréable. La nourriture à fait en sorte que j'ai le goût de retourner malgré le mauvais service. Les sushi terre & mer étaient hors de ce monde, c'était merveilleux ! Le filet mignon était cuit parfait. Bref, je recommande pour la nourriture!
My first time there yesterday, came thru for a friends bday, & it was great. Our waitress, Valerie was wonderful, suggested us with great dishes, service was fast & caring. Food was on point. Vibe was nice, chocolate cake was my my favorite, I recommend.

Disappointing service. 2 of us joined late to a table of 5 & our server didn't bother to serve us water. No greetings at all either. At the time of paying, she was rude & tried to rush complicating the bill separation. Would not recommend.
Food was very bland & had no flavour whatsoever. Ordered lobster toll & received a sushi toll with lobster on top. Tried my friends salad too & it was the same. Myself & my friend went go the washroom & by the time we got back food was sitting at our table. It came with a'presentation' but we missed it, i felt they should've waited till we returned. Our server was extremely rude & felt like she kept trying to rush us or really didn't care to serve us at all. I called her out on it & she just rolled her eyes at me.(mind you we still tipped her) Ambiance is ok aesthetics nice but outside of that I would not recommend.
J'ai beaucoup aimé ma première fois au Palma, la nourriture était délicieuse, le service était parfait & il y avait une bonne ambiance. Je recommande cet endroit!
Expérience incroyable au restaurant Palma! 🌟 Le service était exceptionnel, surtout grâce à Harold, qui a rendu notre soirée mémorable avec son attention & sa gentillesse. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant & je remercie Harold pour un service impeccable. À refaire sans hésitation!
Un souper exceptionnel, un Samedi soir dans Griffintown !! Morue Noire delicieuse, côté levé imbattable, gnocchis au boeuf Wagu.......tout était PARFAIT! Super service, avec le sourire & ambiance de feu! Nous allons y retourner & je le recommande fortement!
The food here is expensive, but I'd say it's quite worth it. Usually at higher end restaurants, the portions are so small you kind of have to decide if the experience was worth it, because you can't judge it based on food alone. However, here, they actually feed you a decent portion while providing high quality dishes which are presented well. We had the tasting menu & each dish was served just as we were finishing the previous one. Service was effective & friendly. The interior of the restaurant was very nice & the music being played by the DJ was great. My only suggestion would be that around prime dinner time, the music should be a bit quieter such that diners can easily converse with each other. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for excellent Asian-American fusion cuisine.
We dined here for a friend's birthday & it was top notch from the food ( appetizers ) to the Service (Shout out to our waitress Patricia) & the atmosphere (feel like the name should be The PLACE TO BE) which was a combo of restaurant & a lil bit of club vibe. We had a great time indeed. Our waitress was really meticulous about us- can't recommend this place enough
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Palma in Griffintown, & I must say it was an exceptional experience! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was inviting & stylish. The staff provided top-notch service throughout the evening. Very attentive, knowledgeable, & made excellent recommendations. Now, let's talk about the food. The steak was cooked to perfection, tender & full of flavor. It was definitely the highlight of my meal. & let's not forget about the drinks! It was expertly crafted & perfectly balanced, just the way I like it. Overall, Palma exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The combination of amazing food, attentive service, & stylish ambiance made for a truly memorable dining experience. I highly recommend PALMA to anyone looking for a top-notch restaurant in Montreal. You won't be disappointed! Look at the design, how dope.

We came here for the first time & all I can say is WOW. The food, the atmosphere, the ambiance is a literal 10/10. Our waitress was phenomenal. She suggested some options & they were very good. All the food was out of this world along with the presentation which is very creative. I cannot recommend this place enough!
Excellent vibe, music & staff. Everyone is very nice & professional. A great place to start the night. Food is very good, only slight criticism is that portions are small, but most places do this nowadays. Highly recommended.
Went there for dinner with a friend & was blown away by every aspect of this place. From the moment you walk in, the dining room has an amazing musky scent. The decor is 👌🏾 & the seating is very comfortable. The service was welcoming & efficient, we were never left wanting for anything. Our meal was cooked to perfection : from the porterhouse steak, to the guan shrimp, to the sticky ribs, it was all delectable. We also had a Japanese whiskey tasting while we were there. I would 100% go back & recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious meal in a beautiful atmosphere.
I had the pleasure of attending the "Lighter" event at Palma, & it was an experience I won't soon forget. Not only was I treated to an exquisite culinary journey, but I also had the opportunity to contribute to a cause close to my heart. Palma hosted the event with grace & style, aligning perfectly with the theme of supporting mental health awareness. Now, let's talk about the food & drink. Every dish was a masterpiece & bursting with flavor. The Spicy Virgin Margarita was a fiery mixture that was a perfect blend of zesty lime, & just the right amount of heat. The Grilled Shishito Peppers transported me back to Bali with their delightful sauce, while the Burrata Salad showcased the finest Italian cheese I've ever tasted outside of Italy itself. The Jardins de Fleurs was a delightful twist on spring rolls, with the addition of sweet Japanese tofu adding a perfect balance to the ensemble of flavors. The Double Truffle dish was an opulent masterpiece, showcasing the finest, freshly made tagliatelle enveloped in a luxurious truffle cream sauce. & dessert? Oh, where do I begin? The Smash Me dessert was a true party for the taste buds, & the Banana Mille Feuille was a delightful departure from tradition, combining banana, caramelized pecans, & velvety gelato. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff ensuring that every detail was perfect. The ambience was electric, filled with a mix of incredible people coming together for a great cause. & the music by local DJ YO-C set the perfect mood for the evening. Overall, my experience at Palma was nothing short of extraordinary. From the delicious food to the meaningful cause behind the event, it was a five-star experience through & through. I can't recommend Palma highly enough, & I'll certainly be back for more unforgettable evenings in the future. Bravo to the entire team for an exceptional evening!
