If you're stuck at the Palms with no car to get you off site, you are actually in luck. Simon is a truly great gastronomical experience. For a foodie place, the portions are decent and Simon has a soft spot for raw and vegetarian cuisine, so amounst the fancy meats and stuff, you will always find some interesting and wonderful plant based items on his seasonal menus.
The atmosphere is lovely, the service has always been great and they also have some lovely fresh herbs and spices always growing in the back that are nice to see and visit.
