I love a good breakfast menu with excellent service and linen tablecloths and napkins! The Palace met all those requirements and more.

If you need a place for a great breakfast, try the Palace Restaurant. It is an elegant way to start the day and the food is so fresh and good. The waitstaff is excellent too.

All I can say is, "Wow!" This was our second visit to the Palace, the first visit being nearly 3 years ago. The food was great then, but now it's knock-your-socks-off amazing. This being Downtown Cincinnati Restaurant Week, they were offering 3 courses at a (very) special price. My boyfriend and I chose the same item for each course. We were presented with an amuse bouche of roasted beets, orange and endive, which was divine, then a 1st course of crispy suckling pig with celeriac slaw and compressed watermelon-very cheeky and very delicious! The bouillabaisse entree was perfect, and nicely presented, too, but dessert blew us away: tiny "pearls" of cantaloupe and cucumber served with white chocolate and gin-and-tonic gelees, lime sauce and some cucumber "macaroons." Once again, wow! Yes, this restaurant is expensive, and the formality (of both atmosphere and service) can be a little daunting for those not used to such things, but I highly recommend it if you're looking for an unforgettable meal or a worthy splurge!

What else is there to say? View, service and food all excellent.
