Palmers's formal dining room
ambience, while a tavern gives
way to more relaxed seating. Regulars

décor and upscale New England charm
grace every room; a salon, wine lounge,
and outdoor deck are available for all
mealtime moods. Chef Ingalls prepares
daily specials and house staples to
satiate every palate, and on Friday and
Saturday nights, the place hums with
$1 Raw Bar, and Thursday Night: Music,
Martinis & More! during which diners
enjoy chef Harley's weekly bar bites
accompanied by jazz classics and cool
lounge sounds.

MAKI SUSHI BAR
Clean, fresh flavors define Maki meals.
Each plate presents a kaleidoscope of
colors, textures, and shapes. Co-owner/
chef John Nguyen grew up on the Gulf
coast. A lifetime spent with shrimp (the
family business), means the man knows
seafood. Masterpieces like his Tempura
Striped Bass topped with Kiwi and
Strawberry in a Sweet Chili Sauce, make
Ngyuen king of this artful cuisine.
