Go at off peak hours or else be prepared to wait...and wait...and sometimes give up waiting and go somewhere else. But if you're lucky enough to snag one of the 15 seats at the counter, you won't be disappointed. Pan roast is the most popular item, it's rich and creamy base of either seafood or sausage or a combo of all. I would recommend just seafood or add sausage, the have the Palace Pan Roast which comes with chicken but that adds nothing to the dish. They do give you very large meaty shrimps if you order the ones that comes with it. The side of rice they give you is the perfect vessal to soak up all the yummy goodness. The oysters are reasonably priced, very meaty. The horseradish sauce has a nice kick. Chowders are also very good, tons of seafood and clams. I like the ciopino too, again tons of seafood and large juicy shrimp. This is 4 not 5 stars because depending on whose cooking, sometimes the dishes aren't as good. My last visit here I think they were switching shifts and the new guy started our 5 dishes, then ran around looking for something, left our food to cook/burn on the cookers and left and the other guy had to quickly finish it off. They tasted OK but I know it could have been better if our chef had cooked our food correctly. And for the ladies, make sure you bring a jacket because the location is right under an air vent and it's always freezing at the bar.
