Today, Palmer's turns 20!! 🎉
20 years ago, Jerry and Marie Arenas took a chance on a vision, a historic building, and a dream of creating a place where people could gather, celebrate, and make memories. Through countless hours of hard work, incredible staff members, loyal guests, and unwavering community support, that dream became Palmer's Steakhouse.
Over the past two decades, we've celebrated anniversaries, engagements, birthdays, retirements, promotions, holidays, and countless ordinary Tuesday nights that somehow became unforgettable. We've watched families grow, friendships deepen, and traditions begin around our tables.
This anniversary is especially meaningful as we remember Tony, whose passion for hospitality, philanthropy, wine, and community helped shape Palmer's into what it is today. While we miss him every day, his impact can still be felt throughout this restaurant and throughout the community he loved so much.
To everyone who has dined with us, worked alongside us, supported our events, recommended us to friends, or simply cheered us on over the years—thank you. You are part of the Palmer's story.
And if you'd like to give us an anniversary gift, we'd love for you to help preserve that story.
If Palmer's has ever been part of a special memory for you, please consider sharing it in a Google or Facebook review. Your words help future guests discover us, but even more importantly, they help tell the story of the people, moments, and memories that have filled these walls for the past 20 years.
From our family to yours, thank you for 20 incredible years!
Here's to the next chapter. There’s some big things on deck for Palmer’s! ❤️🥂
