This place is TRULY a hidden gem! I couldn't quit gawking at all the decor, from the floor to the ceilings, everything is immaculately decorated. (won't even bother posting pics because they don't do it justice) The bartender was not only hilarious but added stories and details about some of the artwork, the handmade chandelier in the entryway, my cosmo recipe being the original recipe from back in like the early 1900's. LUVED her. They had a large wedding party the night before and they were out of a lot of drinks and some food items however the way she presented it to us, was again hilarious so we truly didn't even mind. Food and service were excellent. We were the last people to shut down brunch on a Sunday afternoon. read more

First off, the atmosphere was incredible. This restaurant was opened in a remodeled old theater and they really went all out to make it a very, very cool environment. We were greeted immediately upon walking in. It was not very busy for Saturday night, but there was a local event going on which I think kept a lot of people away. Our server was Heather, and she could not have been any nicer or more attentive. She really went out of her way to make sure that we had a nice time and recommended walking around the restaurant and checking out some of the other spaces that had been remodeled interestingly. If you visit, make sure you do that. It's definitely worth your time. There were three of us in our party and we each ordered a different meal. The first meal was the salmon and green beans and the salmon was very good, the green beans with some of the best any of us had ever had. The second meal was the hamburger steak with onion gravy, and mashed potatoes. Also, a very good meal. The gravy was really tasty and the potatoes were done very well. The last meal was the chicken fettuccine and it also was good and very filling. One thing to note is all of the portions are pretty large, particularly the hamburger steak and the fettuccine both of which required take-home containers. My only complaint about the entire experience was paying the bill. There is a cash price and a credit card price. This is a pain point for me personally. I generally don't do business with companies that charge a fee to use a credit card and I'm not sure I would return to this particular restaurant partially because of that and well partially because I don't live in the state of Georgia. My feeling is if you feel you need to charge that extra fee, then don't take credit cards. I don't think that's fair to customers to have to pay that extra fee just for using a credit card. I'm really only pointing this out because this is the third time in a week that I've been to a business where they're charging an additional fee and I feel that if as consumers, we don't start pushing back on this, we're gonna see this continue in more and more businesses out there. I understand that they have to pay a fee to take a credit card, but what they're not taking consideration is, if they didn't take credit cards, their business would be severely impacted as well because not as many people would go there for that reason that they don't take credit cards. OK, so now that the negative stuff is out of the way, Ill repeat and say that this really is a great restaurant for the reasons already discussed. The service was fantastic, the atmosphere was wonderful and the food was tasty with large portions. it was only that issue of the credit card fee that really put a damper on it for me. Overall would I recommend The Palace, absolutely. read more

Thursday night between 6-7pm. It was basically empty; which is a plus for me. They get all their business mostly on the weekends, per our server. This restaurant is beautifully decorated! It could very well fit in at theme parks, like Universal Studios. It's Clean, spacious, lighting on the dimmer side. It's a fantastic date night spot. We were blessed to have Diamond tending to us, and she was outstanding! Customer Service doesn't get any better than what she gave. I imagine she'd be just as great if the place were absolutely slammed. Our food was pretty basic. We got spicy fried wings as an appetizer. They were pretty good. The chicken fettuccine Alfredo had small bits of white meat chicken, and not a lot of it. We also had a 14oz Ribeye, collards, & mashed potatoes. All the food was ok. Not good enough to rave about, not bad enough to complain about. Just basic . I'm glad I finally checked it out though. The overall experience was worth the visit. If you're ever in this area, you should stop by:) read more

This was one of my favorite places to visit when I'm going thru tifton.. I would spend between $200 to $300. The last time I was there The service was absolutely the worst Ive ever had in my life! I tried to call the owner and my phone call was never returned! Ok the owner had someone else to call me back.. I still dont know wether I would change my review, read more

We went to the Palace with food friends... that means we sampled each other's dishes! But, let me start by saying that my rating is 4.5 stars. The Palace is a surprising place to find in Sylvester. The atmosphere alone is almost worth going. Fortunately the food matches its environ. Elegant is the word I would use. Dark panels with great music in the background. Loud enough to hear but not loud enough to hider conversation. As far as food, I had the pork chop with green beans and mushrooms sautéed with bacon. Everything was delicious. I was able to sample the shrimp and grits, blackened salmon and crab cakes. All of these were good. Shrimp and grits is a dish that can vary widely. Theirs are a tomato, red pepper creation with a bit of spice that I found delightful. The crab cakes were very good as well. Probably some of the best I've had outside of Maryland. The salmon was good as well. My bride loves the cheese grits. She said they were light and fluffy and she left none for me to sample! We also had the meatballs for an appetizer and the fried ice cream for dessert. Both were excellent. The ice cream we split between the four of us and no one felt cheated. It is a large portion. The service was good as well. Our meal came out in a timely fashion. Our server was knowledgeable and took good care of us. We will definitely return. I just have to remember to take pictures next time! read more

Everything was wonderful. Serve was awesome, food was great as usual. Always consistently good.

We were traveling through and found this gem, absolutely loved everything about it. From decor, ambience, service, food and drinks. It almost feels like a speakeasy which we love. Definitely recommend 100% We will be back!! read more

Tried the appetizer Devil on Horseback and it was delicious. The Maryland Crabcakes were tasty and my husband had the Scallops Piccata, which was delicious. Cannot beat the fried ice cream. It's to die for. Great night out. If you haven't been, the ambiance is a treat. read more

We stopped for lunch after cheer competition. It was really good. I had French dip, husband had cheeseburger.

Perfect secret gem in the middle of tiny Sylvester GA. Even a couple of hour drive would be worth it to take in this amazing spot. Decor reminiscent of a fine European or Michelin star NYC restaurant, this is a piece of architectural masterpiece! Built in the old cinema in town, the owners have combined the most random unique pieces in the most perfect harmony! A definite special date night or celebration must!!! read more

I'm blown away by the ambiance walking in. Such a great dressy, fancy date night gem in the middle of rural Georgia. I'm from New Orleans, my husband and i ordered the crab claws, both soups (tomato and potato), the special (crab cakes) and blackened grouper, this was nothing short of a taste of a something we would find back home. We are so excited to have a "go to" restaurant close by to us for all occasions. The drinks were spectacular as well we got an old fashioned, a French 75 (my favorite) and an espresso martini. All were absolutely delicious. The Palace is Big city dining in a small town. We will be back!!!! read more

Place will clean. Nice atmosphere for you and your spouse. Food was served in a timely manner and fresh. Service was great.

Food and service were very good. The restaurant is in a renovated building that used to be the town's movie theater. Well decorated interior with some stories. Good place for a nice casual lunch or date night. read more

The long-awaited Palace Restaurant was a few weeks past. Tonight, we gave it a try. We all make bad decisions! We made reservations. The hostess acknowledged them when we arrived and sent us to the lounge ( five seats around a table) in the back of the bar area. Our table for two was booked for 7pm. One drink, I had to hunt down a waitress to order, and several assurances that it wouldn't be too much longer, I approached the manager who proved as useless at solving my problem as running a supposedly upscale restaurant! At 8:15, I went to the hostess stand where the same hostess who'd checked us in, put a call into the manager. Then they denied we had a reservation. If this the way they treat all of their customers, I predict their closing will take place a lot faster than their opening! read more

This is my go-to eatery in New Orleans. The food & atmosphere never disappoint. See you soon!

Oh how stylish this place was impeccable! It's a tiny place worth the wait, service is a little slow, but I'm sure they're going to get better. Fried ice cream was amazing! The food we had was good! This is a great date night PALACE. read more

This restaurant is so impressive. The decor is first class. The ambiance is on point. The food is delicious, and the menu is varied. Everyone can find numerous choices that they would enjoy. My service at The Palace has always been excellent. read more

This is a beautiful place. The decor and ambiance are great, and the servers are prompt and efficient. The problem is the food. It's always a bit off, not terrible, just not really good. I know they get great reviews, but that's mostly because this is a small town, and the owners are a prominent family, so no one wants to be honest and get the grief. I've been here 4 times.... always hoping for a better outcome. I think I'm done now. The food is mediocre, at best. The appetizers we tried were the crab, the devils on horseback (dates stuffed with almonds and bleu cheese, wrapped in bacon), meatballs, and the shrimp The crab claws were tiny and disappointing, the devils on horseback was overcooked, dry and just odd, the shrimp was sort of like bang bang shrimp and not bad, the meatballs were the best. They were in a sweet ginger sauce, covered with gooey cheese and quite good. I've had the shrimp and grits, which were very gruyere forward, and despite the sauce and peppers, pretty bland. The shrimp have been slightly overcooked both times I tried it. I tried the grouper, also overcooked and bland. I tried the ribeye. It was cooked properly, and the taste was good, but so much fat and gristle. It was disappointing. The only dessert we tried was the fried ice cream. It was just bad. It's hard to say ice cream is bad, but the thick batter was really awful. The only thing that was good so far, according to my husband, was the hamburger steak and mashed potatoes that come served in a cast iron skillet, very much like a fajita skillet. I tasted it, and the flavor was good, but the crust was very hard.... from continuing to cook in the skillet, I suppose. The prices are on par for a nice restaurant such as they aspire to be. However, in a small town like Sylvester, it's pricey for some people, and since the food isn't great, it's just not worth it. That's the bottom line. It's not worth the time or expense. read more

Amazing!!?? The food was excellent and the service... The watriest customer service was the best i have ever encountered , Thanks Gabi!!! Party of 14 read more

Excellent! The Palace is the most enjoyable restaurant experience I've had in recent memory. It compares favorably with the same upscale places where I've dined in recent months including New Orleans, Atlanta, Chicago and the greater Denver area. This was my first visit but definitely not my last. The ambiance, service, drinks and cuisine are all superior. read more

The ambience is great overall, but the food is just OK, and the service needs improvement. My wife asked for mashed potatoes and I, baked potato with butter and no sour cream. We both received baked potatoes with no butter. It took about 15 minutes to get butter for our potatoes. Also, they charged us an extra $6 for a baked potato when it is one of the sides. They took it off the check. A couple at the table next to us also had a problem with their bill. We ordered the salmon, which was good, but the grouper we ordered was overcooked and a bit dry. This place has potential but as much attention needs to be placed on the food and the service as it has been on the decor. read more

Amazing find in the middle of nowhere (k, maybe not nowhere, but certainly off the beaten path)! Great!!!
