Meal was outstanding! We each had the Medallions. Peppercorn sauce was phenom. Really. Broccolini, wine and mixed drinks were perfect. Maddie was our waitress. Perfect service. The only annoying thing about III Palms is the valet service takes up all the parking spots. It’s silly. The parking lot is small. Really small. No need for valet here. NIX valet and this place is the perfect mix of service, ambiance, food, drink, price.
