Bistro 1528 - Queen Creek

Wow. Best service ever hands down thank you Christina for making our evening last week one of the best nights ever! You want WAY above and beyond. Much appreciated!

We usually love going here and I keep meaning to write a raving review but the food just wasn’t that great tonight. We were told that they took the garlic aioli off of all their dishes and completely got rid of it. Normally I always get the beef sliders (which are AMAZING) but without the aioli, it’s just missing something.

Very nice restaurant. The food was excellent. Service was very good,very attentive. Atmosphere is upscale and comfortable. Prices are normal and the portion are ample.

Joe, our writer, made our first time a Palma awesome. Hats off the chefs on the chicken wings. Perfection! Our meals were delicious. We will be back and hoping the food is consistent.

June 17, 2024 – 4 Stars Palma is finally making improvements! We came here for their Father’s Day specials and were pleasantly surprised by many improvements. First, we arrived about 5 minutes before our reservation time and were seated immediately. (In the past we were made to wait even though the restaurant was mostly empty. So we were happy to be seated quickly this time and in an adult sized booth. (Again…in the past we were squeezed into one of their tiny tables for two that barely fit drinks, let alone appetizers and food. This time… we had a roomy booth. Our waiter, Joe, was PERFECT. He brought us water immediately, took our drink orders, told us about the specials and gave us the right amount of time to make food decisions. He was the perfect amount of attentive and made sure we had water and drink refills as necessary. My husband had the steak and frites special. I chose the chicken fried chicken special. (This item used to be a regular on the menu but has since been removed and brought back only as a special from time to time. Please bring this dish back as a regular item. Hubby enjoyed his steak and frites. He said the steak was cooked just as requested….very happy Dad. I enjoyed my meal as well and stopped short of literally licking my plate clean. There are still some areas that could be improved. Portion sizes are still on the small side. My chicken fried chicken was a single, very small and thin chicken breast, the size of my palm, and about ½ inch thick. While this was perfect for me, a sized small woman, this would never be enough food for a grown man. I’m a light eater…so it was perfect for me. Sides included whipped potatoes and corn. Both the chicken and corn were tasty and seasoned appropriately. The gravy atop the chicken was very good…YUM. The whipped potatoes are what need improving. The consistency of the potatoes implies that they are from a box (not made with fresh potatoes . In addition, they had ZERO seasoning or flavor. For a restaurant of this level, they really should serve fresh potatoes….or don’t whip them to death. Also, please work on portions. I literally ate everything on my plate. That’s not normal for me. I am a light eater and at most restaurants I always have leftovers. Palma’s portions are very small. So keep that in mind when you order. Men might need an appetizer as well as their meal. And be sure to ask for bread as well. In all, we were happy with our dining experience and glad to see Palma making improvement. We will return.
