Waterford Wine and Spirits is not only a great place for a vast selection of wines and other…read morespirits but also offers a variety of different wine tasting events. We've attended the Italian wine tasting event twice now and enjoy being able to really appreciate the specific Italian varietals and different regions. Other wine events have included wines from around the world and can be overwhelming so it's great having region specific tastings. There are also other crafting/ painting with wine events that look like a lot of fun. There are always some good discounted/ sale prices on wines and a pretty good selection of bourbon too.

The Italian wine night they just curated was a huge hit. Tons of great wines, many of which are DOCG, provided us the opportunity to focus on varietal differences and find new wines that match our palettes. Pricing is a bit higher than other places and that's keeping me from giving the 5 stars.

We opted for inside however, as it was a tad chilly during our visit. The inside is welcoming too though: rustic like bar area, big dining room, and an open kitchen. Shout out Scott for taking care of us- what and friendly guy, with attentive service. Not to mention he knew everything on that menu like the back of his hand. Big fan of both my gin martini, and my blackened grouper entree. And let me tell ya it was a tough pick because there are tons of delicious-sounding options here. But in the end, that grouper was perfect. It came atop of multigrain rice, roasted red peppers, spinach, black beans, and mushrooms. Plus the roasted red pepper cream sauce was chefs kiss. Everyone else at the table also cleared their plates: thin crust pizza, short ribs, and sea scallop risotto. Clearly you can't go wrong here. Definitely a bit on the pricey side in my opinion, but I suppose you do get what you pay for!

They also offer a secluded outdoor deck for groups. In addition, there is a lower level for private party events. They have a romantic walk-out patio with seating. You need to purchase drinks from the establishment. 5 stars Music: Good mix of tunes, fun songs, sound was easy to hear and talk to my neighbor. 5 stars Staff: Char, Lisa, Sarah all terrific people, serving a warm dose of intelligent conversation. Another interesting aspect is the staff Sommelier's. They are all savvy and knowledgeable on the wines and spirits. 5 stars The music, lighting, and quaint atmospere combine to create a comfortable, intimant, fun and inviting experiece.

We were thrilled with the familiarity but also with the newness of the menu. As it was far too hot to eat al fresco, we were given a table on the first floor near the window. We had 5:00 reservations and were seated immediately. Our server, Mason, was fun and efficient, but he also had to cover the bar so he was running. A few more staff would have been helpful as the tables filled up, and by 6:15, people were waiting outside to get a table. The age group of diners is varied, and everyone seemed to be very satisfied. We ordered the Bruschetta and the Salmon with Lemon Risotto, both of them prepared very well. The food tasted very fresh, and the presentation was lovely. I also ordered the Bolognese because I love a good dish of it. This one did not disappoint. However, the meat pieces were small pea-sized bits of beef, which tasted good, but looked a bit odd. I would like to know why, but I was too busy enjoying the dish. It is my birthday and so I was offered either a free cocktail or a dessert. I love a good treat so the flourless cake was my choice. It was a very nice birthday present. I really look forward to our next visit. The menu has lots of options I want to try.

This was my second time here. We came about this same time last year for my birthday dinner with…read moreanother couple. There were four of us. Last year was an easy 5-star experience. This visit was a bit disappointing. Food: We started with a couple of the Sangria specials, a beer, and I ordered one of their signature cocktails, the Dolce Old Fashioned. The sangrias that arrived weren't actually the ones we had ordered. Our server caught the mistake as she brought them to the table and offered to have the correct ones made or let us keep these at no charge. Since they were delicious, we happily kept them. My Dolce Old Fashioned was excellent. We skipped appetizers because we wanted to save room for dessert. After all, it was my birthday dinner. We ordered two pizzas, the pork chops, and I chose the Duck Leg Confit. The timing of the entrées was awkward. It felt more like a tapas dinner than a restaurant serving a table together. My duck arrived first, then we waited. Next came the pork chops, followed by another wait. Finally, about ten minutes after the first plate arrived, the two pizzas were served. It's much more enjoyable when everyone can start eating together. Everyone really enjoyed their meals, with one exception: my duck. It was drier and tougher than I had expected. The braised cabbage and roasted potatoes that accompanied it were both very good. Given how the evening had already gone, I didn't make an issue of it, but I did make a mental note not to order that dish again. We finished with several desserts, including the Almond Cake and the Warm Date Cake. Both were excellent and provided a nice ending to an otherwise uneven meal. Service: The service throughout the evening was good. We were seated right away, and our server, Nicole, greeted us promptly, got us settled in, and answered our questions about the menu and nightly specials. Unfortunately, she found herself apologizing several times during the meal. First for the incorrect drinks, and later for the staggered arrival of the entrées. None of those issues seemed to be her fault, and she handled everything professionally and with a great attitude. Atmosphere: The restaurant is attractive and thoughtfully laid out, with several different seating areas. Our table of four was in a smaller section they refer to as the lounge. The air conditioning kept the room comfortable, and the noise level made conversation easy. I'm not sure whether the food quality and timing issues were just the result of an off night or something more representative. It does make me pause before making another reservation. I may check a few recent reviews before deciding to come back.

Great place for a special occasion, but they don't hit it out of the ballpark every time...maybe 4 out of 5 (hence 4 stars). The food at Palmer's has always been very good. My wife and I have only ever had steak here as entrees. My go to is a med-rare ribeye and my wife always goes with a mid-well filet butterflied (I know, I know...shaking my head as I type that). They also have a really good tomato and fresh mozzarella salad that is a great starter (the balsamic is what makes it stand out). Service here is pretty spot on the majority of the time and all of the people that we have interacted with have been friendly. It can get relatively loud if you are sitting in the main dining room area, and this is where we have always been seated.

Found out tables were only available via reservation which I thought was a bit odd for a Mexican restaurant but we were offered a seat at the bar so we jumped on that. Inside the decor was festive with a number of Frida pictures and great wallpaper in the restroom. We ordered guacamole and tacos. The guacamole came out quickly and was tasty, with a slightly sweet twist due to the pomegranate seeds and chips just as I like them. I ordered the milwalke and manolos bam bam tacos. I preferred the bam bam because it was filled a bit more but I didn't love the mayo based sauce on either. I would've preferred that on the side or, even better, an offering of salsa instead. I would've loved to review their salsa but only heard about it as I was finished up and it was offered to the couple sitting next to us at the bar. I was excited to try here but there were a few misses during our visit so we'll head to other local restaurants when we're in the area for a more satisfying meal next time.
