    Food and cocktails at Palmilla never disappoint. My favorite restaurant in Hermosa Beach Pier. It can get loud so know that going in and you will be fine. It’s harder to talk as it get later in the night.

    Came here to celebrate my mom's 91st birthday because she LOVES seafood. Ordered the seafood tower for her and she was in seafood heaven! The server was so kind and attentive throughout the whole night. Topped off the evening with a couple of great desserts! Mom couldn't be happier. Thanks for a great experience!

    It was a quiet evening. We were greeted and seated promptly. Service was good as was everything we ordered. We were disappointed with the wine list. There used to be a reasonable selection of Greek wines at reasonable prices. Today there is just one Greek red wine at an eye popping $75! Similarly, the vast majority of red wines were $65 or more! The Petros 2021 Semeli wine from the central coast of CA was on exorbitant $75! 😕 Almost all wine by the glass was around $20! 😕 While food prices were ok, the prices for wine were just absurd.
