Palisade   

Attended a dinner held for an out of town, self appointed big shot who loved to "big deal" people. My best friend, who was famous for ALWAYS picking up a tab, was told in no uncertain terms NOT to pay that evening, joined in ordering all the available courses on the menu. Later, after we all had a laugh at sticking MR BIG DEAL with the bill, we all agreed that the lavish items from the menu were for the most part, quite ordinary and in some cases, less than wonderful. Have not been back since.

My family and I have been dining at palisade for over a decade and noticed when chef changed and quality of food. Meals brought out during brunch are barely warm. Sausage selection is quality of a continental breakfast. I noticed servers standing around our last visit holding various trays of food each (no wonder food is cold once placed on tables) having conversations while patrons walk pass. I don't know about you but eggs benedict are not desirable cold! I couldn't believe my eyes considering prices and standards that they claim to stand behind.

Great service, fantastic food and beautiful view! If you like Palisade and want something a bit more casual I recommend Scotts Bar and Grill in Edmonds, they are sister restaurants!

My boyfriend took me here last year for my birthday. The table was adorned with rose pedals, candles and a b-day card for me. Our server was so wonderful and the food was great. I recommend the cedar plank salmon. This place is pricey but it is definatley a great place to check out if you're celebrating something.
