My husband and I went to III Palms for dinner to celebrate our Anniversary. We hadn't been and…read morewanted to try somewhere new. The ambiance is very nice and Hailey was great. I ordered the special that was a filet with shrimp, asparagus, and potatoes. Mine was very good but the asparagus didn't have any flavor. The downside of the evening was my husband's New York Prime Strip. Very thin and not that great tasting for the price and for a upscale restaurant. I am not going to mention the name of steak house but he mentioned he had a better steak from a local chain steakhouse. Wished I had taken a photo cause I too was surprised how thin the steak was. Normally a New York Strip is thicker than that. I would go back, I will just have to convince my husband cause I am not sure he would.

The bar staff was extremely knowledgable and took pride in their craft drink making skills. I was quite impressed.

We went here for lunch after looking around Lake Palestine for some land…read more The ambience is very attractive and feels like a Texas restaurant. We were seated upstairs and it was cold because the AC blows directly onto the tables. The complimentary chips and salsa were very good. Salsa has some kick and the chips were fresh and not greasy. The wife had chicken and waffles and really liked it. I had the chicken fried breast and it came out hot. The crust was crispy. The chicken was tender and moist. The gravy needs some salt and pepper because it was pretty bland. The mashed potatoes and collards were excellent. The kid had quesadilla and liked it. Our server Eli, who worked very hard going up and down the stairs for all the tables upstairs, was professional and efficient. I bet she is tired at the end of a shift after going up and down stairs for hours at end. Overall, we liked this place very much and I think we will return the next time we are in the area.

We were there at 11:30am on a Saturday, and the front of house was a mess. Not enough wait staff. Dirty tables waiting to be bussed. Long wait just to get a refill of coffee. Waitperson got my wife's order wrong. Had to find someone to pay when we were ready to leave - the bartender ran my card because our waitperson was AWOL. Super cool looking place, and the kitchen seemed on point. Just need better organization up front.

My friend and my girlfriend both ordered their espresso martini that my friend claimed was the best espresso martini in town, while I got the bartender's recommendation of the Animal Style, a pineapple and jalapeño infused tequila with strawberries, cardamom bitters, and a lemon peel garnish. Normally, I hate any drink that is spicy. I cannot stand a Bloody Mary because I don't believe drinks should be allowed to be spicy, but this one, for having jalapeño, is not spicy at all. If anything, it's slightly savory with its tropical flavor. The bartender was great. They have appetizers and tapas as well and as my girlfriend sat down, she really wanted just one of their fresh oysters. I ordered her just one to try and it was $4.25. They gave us the smallest one they could find. The tiniest oyster of all time. I guess size really didn't matter because according to her it was very good. I would go back and have a few more cocktails, but it is a nice place to hang out on the square on a Friday night. A good time to be had by all. RIYL: The finest, most $15ish cocktail you can find.

I was not to hot on the idea of eating at this place since bar food can be a "hit or miss" at it's best. Found the place, especially since we don't get to Tyler that often. Okay, doesn't look like a horrible place, around 3ish, I can do a late lunch, early dinner. Walk in, a couple of people in there, bartender tells us to set wherever we want to. Brings us menus, gets our drinks. The place has a Vietnamese type menu with some really good looking burger sandwiches on it too, so I'm undecided of what I want. The bartender tells us that the burgers are the choice the crowds usually. I got the Sky Burger, I think that is what it was called. Excellent burger and choice. The Chef, owner and the bartender provided excellent service. The bartender was on top of his game always checking on us to see if we needed anything and if we were satisfied. They have a little stage, not a real big place and it looks like the draw the local crowd. They give a Veteran's discount on their menu items which I always ask for and appreciate. It look's like a neighborhood gem. We'll definitely stop back in when we're back in Tyler again because I want to try their fried rice that I saw on the menu.

When we arrived there were a few open seats but they looked pretty busy. After a while someone took our drink order. I wasn't timing but it felt like a long time before I was informed my drink couldn't be made because the blender was broken . I changed my drink and it came quickly. Then we placed our food order and our server repeated it back to us (which I appreciate). We received the chicken spring rolls first, they came with two sauces. The menu said the rolls came with a peanut sauce but I didn't taste peanut in either sauce so I requested the peanut sauce. Unfortunately, i just didn't like their idea of a peanut sauce. I honestly thought it was some kind of mustard. Anyway, the rolls were fresh but the vermicelli/lettuce ratios were super-off. Also - let's get real. If a spring roll doesn't have a good dipping sauce it's not any fun! The wings had a good sauce, we ordered Korean. But they were so crispy they were hard. The chips and queso came last which was a fun order for food to come to your table. The chips were a little stale, the salsa was fresh and had a little heat! It helped liven up the queso. I was disappointed when our initial server stopped coming to our table and sat at the bar. Which left the bartender to bus all the tables, deliver drinks and food, and tend the bar, which was full the entire time we were there! The atmosphere here could be really cool, I like the idea of a place to watch a local band, and have food & drinks. This is something Tyler needs so I hate to leave this review but I won't be going back for a while.
