re: Palermo's on Jefferson

My wife and I recently ate lunch there. The salad was very good - dressing was "Venice". Bread was also excellent.

I had the Pan Seared Speckled Trout, topped w/mushrooms and artichokes in a Lemon Butter. Excellent meal. This dish beats Zea's trout hands down, (which is our go to place for decent meals). Wife had chicken parmigiana which she enjoyed.

Dessert was only disappointment. Limited choice of three, w/two of them having expresso ingredients which we generally don't care for. We had pound cake with mousse topping. Cake had an overly strong liquor taste. Still edible though.

Place was a little loud. Waiter and service was very good. Restaurant was almost full.

Would definitely return and order same dishes, but we want to try the pizzas.


Total price around $70 with tax & tip. May not fit everyone's budget or taste, but I think its a viable choice.
