We were referred to Palace Prime by the bartender at our hotel - Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi - and it did not disappoint. The food and service were top notch. Wish we lived close enough to frequent this place regularly.

Fourth time we’ve been there and it continues to impress us. Excellent seafood, especially the fresh oysters. Innovative dishes, Edee t cocktails and wine selection, and a nice comfortable setting with attentive but not intrusive service. It is becoming a local favorite and guests we’ve taken there really like it, too.

We stopped in for happy hour and ordered food from the happy hour menu. It was all very good. The chicken sandwich and Brussel sprouts were particularly excellent. We each had a couple of cocktails which were all very good and raised the bar for cocktails in New Mexico. We can't wait to go back for dinner.

The staff was welcoming and knowledgeable. The ambiance was wonderful. It was a great dining experience. The crispy brussel sprouts were fantastic. I would recommend adding full fat heavy cream as an option for coffee.
