About Gold Palm

Gold Palm is a lively restaurant and bar known for its spacious seating and friendly, welcoming atmosphere, making it a popular spot for gatherings. Customers have praised the thoughtful and satisfying menu, which includes crispy veggie samosas, chicken patties with a spicy kick, and a cheesy chili toasty that pairs well with a side salad. The food is highly appreciated for its variety and flavor. The staff is super friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant experience for guests. The restaurant also offers great small plate options for family-style eating, along with well-balanced cocktails. There is no reservation needed, and plenty of seating makes it easy to meet up with friends. The attached speakeasy, Moon Glow, provides a darker, cozy space for a nightcap, where the mood and drinks are stellar, and the bartender and bouncer add to the friendly atmosphere. While opinions on the drinks are mixed, with some finding cocktails too sweet and the beer and wine selection less exciting, Gold Palm remains a favorite for casual dining and good company. Overall, it’s a recommended place for those who enjoy a lively vibe, delicious bites, and a relaxed setting.
