Bice or The Palm?

Hubby and I are looking for an upcoming anniversary dinner and we haven’t been to either of these places. Thoughts? Recommendations?

We have ate at both and love them both. The whole lobster at The Palm is amazing! Best dish I have had at Bice is the short rib "little hat" style stuffed pasta ( I forgot what it's actually called. But honestly, the meal I cannot forget that was better than both was Mama Della's at Portofino. Simply amazing! But honestly, which ever you choose, you will be pleased.

The Palm


Bice







Mama Della's


Also at Mama Della's they seranade table side which is pretty cool.

Oh yes I forgot about Mama Della’s. We stayed at PBH awhile back and loved it but didn’t try some of their restaurants… only Sal’s at the time. Thank you!

ETA: oh wow just saw your pics you added! Tough choice!

We did Bice last year for our anniversary and it was a bit underwhelming. Not at all bad just could have been better considering prices. If you want Italian I’d say mama Della’s or vivo.
Have never eaten at the palm but always hear it’s very good.
Amatista at SF is really good and especially lovely if you get a table by the windows or outside.

Thank you! I forgot about Amatista. That’s on my list to try one day for sure.

We avoid Bice and Mamma Della`s as they couldn`t omit certain simple ingredients from dishes, so we don`t go there. We do enjoy Vivo though.

The Palm has changed slightly since Landry`s took it over, food was mixed, but our last experience was exactly that....our last experience, and we have been there lots of times, it just wasn`t the same. On the other hand, friends of ours went recently and loved it. So....not much help there......

Amatista is lovely, maybe not the elaborate anniversary experience you`re looking for, but food is excellent as is service and there are some wonderful restaurants a short Uber ride away like Eddie V`s.

Awesome thank you! That’s true too… we could always Uber somewhere. We’ll check that out. We don’t need anything fancy, just looking for something nice and different. Good idea!

You`re welcome

Eddie V`s is certainly on the fancier end, but check out that whole Dr Phillips area on Sand Lake, they have many options if you felt like going slightly offsite.
