I appreciated getting a best table in the house, but the restaurant was uncomfortably cold and service was very slow. The food was subpar, we tried four dishes, I liked the burata cheese salad and the mushroom with truffle pizza. We ordered three Americano coffees there were all bitter and cold, so we asked for replacements which they kindly did so. The high point was all the waiters sang Happy Birthday in Italian which was nice way of closing the night.

This was my first time dining at Palma and I was pleased with the experience. Everything was delicious, the service was attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere was relaxing. I plan to visit again.

My mom and I were visiting my brother this weekend for his birthday, from Milwaukee. We had an amazing time, from start to finish! I had the smokin passion drink which was a great drink. We also started off with the albacore tuna tartare with the focaccia bread which was a great appetizer to start our dinner. My brother and I opted for Steaks, while mom got the oxtail pappardelle and then a side of broccolini to share. Paul did an amazing job recommending things and answering our many questions about the menu! You could tell that he knew what he was talking about, and the recommendations were spot on! I wish we had this in Milwaukee! I'll definitely be back next visit!

I went to Palma with a buddy late on Saturday night and we sat the bar. The restaurant has a polished but lively atmosphere -- think upscale steak‑and‑seafood house meets Mediterranean elegance. We had a few drinks and ordered three standout items: the wedge salad, rib‑eye cap, and a red mullet fish special. Wedge Salad: A crisp and cool opener -- the lettuce was well chilled, the toppings generous and the dressing had good tang. It set the tone nicely without being overly rich.
Rib‑Eye Cap: This was the star of my night. Rich, well‑marbled, expertly cooked to medium with a beautifully seared exterior. The flavor of the beef came through strongly, and it paired seamlessly with the sides.
Red Mullet Fish Special: The fish was fried, fresh and handled with finesse -- the skin crisp, the flesh moist and flavorful. Served as a special, it clearly showed that Palma is comfortable with seafood as well as steaks. The dish had balance: richness from the fish, brightness perhaps from a citrus or herb garnish, and texture from accompanying elements.
Service was attentive without being obtrusive -- the staff seemed comfortable guiding guests through both steaks and seafood, and the ambiance remained relaxed even though the setting felt upscale.
If you're looking for a place to celebrate in Burbank, enjoy a date night, or simply treat yourself to excellent fare, this is a strong choice.
I'll definitely be going back to try their other menu items.

I had the pleasure of dining at Palma Burbank this past weekend, and in my humble opinion it is one of the top restaurants in Los Angeles. The hospitality, for a first-time guest could not be beat, when I had the pleasure of meeting Mary and Art, who could have not made us feel more comfortable. We wanted an outdoor table and they cleared a table for 6 out for us (on a Saturday night). They answered all of our questions with the grace and majesty one rarely experiences at the front of house.
The serve staff member, Kevin was equally extraordinary, He answered our questions, and what he did not know he quickly obtained an answer for; truly made us feel as if we had dined there many times before, could not ask for more.
The real test was the food, because the restaurant is absolutely beautiful; even sporting a valet in front of door (too many LA restaurants lack any sort of parking or valet facilities and so you spend 20 minutes looking for a spot, as we did on Sunday in Venice). When the food arrived, what a treat. Extraordinary work by the chef and truly magnificent, low-fat work products. The oysters were fabulous. There is not one thing I would change about the restaurant; they have every part of it under control. Burbank may be out of your way, but you will enjoy a truly memorable stupendous evening....well worth the drive, especially if you are celebrating something. I will drive to Burbank just for them and hope you follow my lead.

I finally had the chance to come here after walking by it so many times. I came with my wife and sister to grab dinne, I made reservations through OpenTable. They have valet parking if you want to use that but there free parking across the street or a underground parking garage right next to the restaurant.
We got seated quickly and the restaurant was not busy. The restaurant is beautiful inside with the style, finish and overall look. Our waiter was Kevin and we got seated toward the back of the restaurant. We wife and sister started off with the Rose Palma wine and I got a coke. My coke was flat so I asked if I could get another one which Kevin said their carbonated tank was emptied so no soda.
For our entree, my sister got the seafood cavatelli pasta .. my wife got th Chilean Sea Bass which they said they completely redid the way they make it and I got the ribeye 10oz at medium rare. I asked for regular fries and my wife got the mushroom.
Our food took a while to come out but we thought the food was delicious. I thought my steak needed more salt and at some part it was overcooked but I still like it. I would come back again to try something else and hopefully their soda machine is working.

It's a beautiful restaurant in the heart of Burbank with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were all very friendly, and the lady who greeted us was absolutely stunning and so nice. We really enjoyed our visit!

The food is very good, the service was courteous, but the lighting is atrocious. They have very very bright white lights turned up high so there's zero ambiance & feels like eating in a warehouse. They have soft warm lights on patio, but inside it's harsh overly bright stark white lighting cranked all the way up. It's real shame because they obviously put a lot of thought & work into the interior design but zero thought into how bright the lights are or what color lights to use. No wonder it was 1/4 full at 7:30 on a Friday. If they dimmed the lights or at least changed it from fluorescent white to warm amber like their outside lights that would go a very long way. As of now no way we would return
