It turned out to be an excellent choice. This restaurant is located in a strip mall and isn't all that special from the outside, but presents itself as a great casual place inside. From the moment we entered until we left everyone was so friendly. I started with the wedge salad and it was one of the best wedge salads I've had anywhere. Plenty of cheese in the dressing. My wife's onion soup looked good and when she let me have a taste I thought I should have had a cup! I tried the filet tips. They were cooked medium rare, just as I like them! The beef and pasta entrée my wife had was a great choice. The wine list had several good choices available My wife and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary and Rural Metro made our occasion very special! Chef Tiny prepared Bananas Foster for us. His presentation was fantastic, better than our favorite New Orleans restaurant.

The meat was nice and tender, the gravy savory and luscious. I would order it again in a heartbeat. They had lots of dessert offerings but we were too full to try any of them. The restaurant is large. It looks nice inside and has room for almost any size of group. The service was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this place for a delicious, homestyle meal. Come check this restaurant out!

I had prepared ahead by looking at the menu on their website. However, I was disappointed to find out it wasn't the same menu so I had to quickly make a new selection. I ordered the KUNG FU HUSTLE (salmon) and my husband had DANIELLE & DAVID TUNA BOMBS as an entree. While everyone's food at our table came out at different times, it was fresh, unique and flavorful. The portions and quality exceeded our expectations for the price. Despite being completely packed, we were still able to hear the conversation at our table. Overall, we loved the food and look forward to going back soon.

The chicken was tender, perfectly seasoned, and full of bold Caribbean flavor. The black beans and fresh mango salsa complemented the chicken beautifully, while the island rice was an outstanding side that tied everything together. My youngest daughter chose the Jerk Chicken Bowl and couldn't stop talking about how good it was. The portions were generous, and it delivered the same incredible jerk chicken, beans, rice, and toppings all combined into one flavorful bowl. I went with the Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken served with island rice and mashed sweet potatoes. The chicken was cooked perfectly, the teriyaki sauce had just the right amount of sweetness without being overpowering, and both the rice and the mashed sweet potatoes were exceptional. We also sampled several of their Caribbean-inspired cocktails, and every one of them was well-crafted and balanced. I especially enjoyed the rum flight and a Mezcal Old Fashioned--both were excellent and worth ordering again. The atmosphere is just as impressive as the food. The restaurant features two levels with outdoor seating on both floors, and the upstairs bar creates a great place to relax. They also offer live music on Thursdays and daily specials, giving us another reason to come back. If you're looking for outstanding Caribbean-inspired food, creative cocktails, generous portions, and a fun atmosphere, and great service, Palm & Paddle is absolutely worth the visit. Highly recommended--we'll definitely be back!

The downstairs patio is large with plenty of seating. The bar is upstairs and there's also a balcony with 3 tables available. We selected a table in the downstairs dining room. My mom had the Caribbean Jerk Chicken with sweet potatoes and she said it was so good. My daughter had the Pulled Jerk Chicken bowl. She said it had a slight kick to it and she really liked it. I ordered the Anana burger. It comes on a brioche bun but I opted for no bun and had it served on a bed of lettuce instead. The presentation was appealing and my burger was delicious. I subbed grilled vegetables for the fries and everything was so, so good. I went with sweet tea to drink. Palm &Paddle has a wonderful menu. Next time I want to save room for the beautiful key lime that's on the menu. This restaurant is located right next door to LaQuinta and directly across the street from Dunkin Donuts. The location is nice and the menu is thoughtful, most definitely recommend!

The restaurant certainly changed, interior design and food quality wise...and not for the better. The new layout is choppy and uninviting. I understand they probably did then design they did to knock down the noise from the bar area but it lost all its character. On top of that we noticed the high walls made kinda of well....unnoticed by our waiter too. Of course as always we had to get the flash fried spinach as an appetizer. It was about the meat thing we had the whole meal. Still the spinach had too much garlic in it. The bread service was nice. The roll was terrific. I like the soft butter served with it but didn't understand the sweet vodka spaghetti type sauce also served with it. I ordered the margharita pizza which came out perfectly cooked but I think there was way too much salt on it. It also could have used more basil. My wife got a pasta and she said it was dull and flavorless. I ordered a glass of Frogs Leap wine. The bottle definitely had been sitting open and oxidizing for awhile. At the end of the meal was two fresh, hot baked chocolate chip cookies that were complimentary, which was nice. I didn't care much for our server. He/she was not that attentive and took awhile to get drinks. For a $100 meal I think I'll keep this place a past memory of greatness and choose to go somewhere else. Hope I helped.
