Palace kitchen + craft bar

Beautiful space, great cocktails, and top notch food. We found this gem on Yelp while in town and were pleasantly surprised. The staff were also very responsive, warm and welcoming. I will definitely be back when in the area.

Nice gem in Porterville. Strawberry salad was great. I am a little disappointed in the limited menu. Good beer selection. Great place for a small group. Staff is usually great and attentive. You can sit and talk with out worrying about others waiting.

Delicious food, service and ambience. My filet mignon was cooked to perfection. I have also been there for lunch for their juicy cheeseburger at very reasonable prices.

Came with my girlfriend to have an special date.The place was almost empty and our meal was somewhat disappointing.The Menu is not original at all, and is very limited.Drinks were ok, ambiance and decor are the same as the last owners left and they did put some nice flowers at the Entrance, very stylish!Hopefully the owners put some life into this nice establishment, live music, monthly events, delicious appetizers perhaps?The potencial is there... but without exquisite and fresh food, the restaurant won't be catching in the future my attention.

This was a pleasant experience. This restaurant is probably the nicest in Porterville. I was not expecting the portions. I ordered the steak and for a guy that eats his entire plate 99% of the time I couldn't finish my plate. Taste was delicious from the steak to the sides. Ambiance was great. We need to come back soon.

The food is always good. The service that I've had is great. The new owner is making great new food choices.I love their steak bitesI really like the ambience, especially by the windows.

We went for lunch it was great! Coconut shrimp really good ! My friend had fettuccine and wedge salad . We will definitely go again .

We held our funeral reception here and we're pleased by the whole experience. The two different pastas, salad and bread served were excellent. The servers were attentive and friendly. Maria was kind, professional and handled ever need. We had a large amount of food left over and they boxed meals for all our guests. The owner checked with us to make sure all went well. Beautiful setting. Would sincerely recommend them for your event needs. Thank you to all at the Palace Kitchen and Craft.

Very nice restaurant!! Highly recommend coming during lunch hours. Service was quick and welcoming.

I ate at Palace for the first time yesterday. Dinner with a group of 9 friends.I'm going to stretch a bit and give them a 4-star for my first review. I do so because:- Nice atmosphere and setting.- Nice waitress.- Good and upscale menu.- The pasta is made there.Some of my concerns:- The service was slow. They were slammed with two very large parties, so it appeared to strain the staff. We were all visiting, so it was ok.- My pasta plate (Tuscan with chicken) sat a little too long, so the sauce got a bit stiff. But very good. - The salad entrees were either under or over dressed, but that is a personal preference. - The two people who had a great looking hamburger reported not cooked to their order.All these things as a result of the large parties. The food was still tasty and quality.The steak selections look quite good. That will be my next choice. I am told that the Palace is owned by the Vault owner. If correct, then issues will be corrected in time.One more thing. I think 20% automatic tip for groups 8 or more or separate checks is nonsense. Go there.
