    We have eaten at Di Palmas regularly but this Saturday was our first disappointing dinner. This was a dinner to celebrate my birthday. Our entrees did not arrive at the same time and then we had to ask where our mains were as it took a long time. Meals were below the standards we have come to expect and we were left disappointed

    We have been going to Di Palmas for many years and without exception the food and service are always consistently good. We have introduced many friends and family to this restaurant and have never had a bad comment back from anyone. We also appreciate the opportunity to bring our own wine which keeps the cost of the night very reasonable. If you haven’t been, give it a try.

    Food and service were very good however having two un-ordered items on our bill, totalling an extra $20, at the end of the night cancels out what was considered to be good service. Would recommend to friends but I would also recommend they scrutinize their bill.

    Nice atmosphere - Food is of a good standard - however no indication on the Menu for Gluten Free dishes, Vegetarian Dishes or Vegan Dishes. Just the simple GF, V symbols are standard now and frees up the time of the wait staff to have to explain dishes.

    We have been to Di Palmas many times over the years. On the last two occasions we have noticed the food lacked flavour - a noticeable difference to previous occasions when food has always been delicious . On our last visit we had not finished our entree when the main course arrived.

    We had a birthday dinner which was very enjoyable. Our guests were all relaxed. The food variety meant that all preferences and age groups were well catered for. The staff were friendly and efficient. We loved that you could hear well and that we were not crowded in with lots of other groups. 5 stars.

    At the birthday lunch it was decided that we would all give this restaurant 5 stars, from the introductory welcome, drinks on the table quickly, food ordered without any problems, all meals were on the menu, food arrived in a very good time, desert fantastic, and coffee delivered. My 88 year old mother said she could not eat all of the duck and the rhubarb and apple crumble, but yes it was all devoured and she loved it all. We all said we would go back as this is what you expect a restaurant to be like. there was a party of about 30 people further down and we could hardly hear them. The acoustics are cleverly designed. Perfect for any age group and food also superb. what more do you want.
