Best seafood in Andover MA....

by tricee56 at Citysearch

My husband I regularly go to Palmer's on Saturday afternoon for lunch. It's always been better than

fantastic. Today we went at 5:00 PM for an early dinner - and I have to say I would give PALMER'S five ***** stars - the food and drinks were spectacular and the service was unbelievable - I ordered the PEI mussels to start - AMAZING - had the striped bass salad with wasabi dressing - or only $ 14 dollars - get out - My son Ben had the clam chowder and salmon salad which by all accounts was mind blowing- I was miffed and a little jealous by my husband's order for blackened seared salmon - it was the best dish of all.....scrumptious....we love the place - best food and drinks, ever!

• Pros: Wonderful

Always stop for lunch when I'm in town

by CTtraveler at Citysearch

Although my husband and I live in Connecticut, we always stop in to Palmer's for lunch when we are in town for the weekend. The service is fast, personable and professional and the food is always sure to please. I always try something different, from both the regular menu and the awesome specials, and I have never been disappointed. (The soups are my favorite!) The function planner helped my sister put on a fantastic wedding shower for me in the upstairs function room and now that I am expecting my first child, I hope that someone surprises me with a baby shower there! Overall, the prices are good, the service is friendly, the atmosphere is comfortable- Palmer's is a no-brainer if you're looking for a good meal.

50th Anniversary review

by Anniversary50 at Citysearch

We recently held our 50th Anniversary dinner party at Palmer's and were thoroughly pleased and satisfied with the entire evening. First of all, the function manager, Wanda, helped us to plan our happy event which made everything absolutely go well and smoothly. Secondly, our head waitress, Lisa, did a fantastic job in running the party and was always very pleasant and served everything in a very timely and professional manner. We found everything on our planned menu to be of excellant quality as well as presentation. Many of our guest commented on how delicious their meals were----and how well Lisa, and her staff, had been able to serve our group of 22 guest so well and smoothly. In particular, the Filet Mignon and the chocolate covered strawberries made a huge impression!! We had our party in the small room on the first floor----the Wine Room-----which is not only a lovely intimate room for a party of our size, but also a room we have used twice in the past for rehearsal dinners for our children----so, the room afforded us some extra happy memories. We would never hesitate to have another function at Palmer's---and in fact, would highly recomment it.

• Pros: Good food----Good service
• Cons: None
