Review of Palisade Restaurant

Amazing view (couldn't stop looking!), well orches...

Amazing view (couldn't stop looking!), well orchestrated trio of wait staff (leaped into action when my husband spilled his water glass), nice & comfy seats, ...but too dark (single candle - romantic but we couldn't see the food). And the *very expensive* cuisine left a lot to be desired: Sadly, it far missed even the most base expectations. The food was good (leftovers less so), definitely not the high-caliber we were expecting (darn) with one exception. We had the pu platter, which was mediocre, and a nutty greens-filled salad that was very bitter. However, the lobster/crab bisque was divine - yummy with a few delectable delights in there (fish eggs, homemade croutons?). Not sure if we'll go back, the saltwater fish beneath the floor (seen from a pedestrian bridge) were fun!
