Palermo Veijo Saturnaight visit

OK, so my husband and I made our way to Palermo's Saturday night. The smells in that place are amazing! I'm guessing its a combo of the grill, meats and chimichurri sauce. Whatever it is, it's wonderful. I ordered a sampling of steaks w/ fries and hubby got the NY strip. Although the steaks were good, we were not impressed w/ the quality of the beef at all. The whole time I kept compairing it to other places. The chimichurri sauce was really good and helped the steak out. The other area that was lacking was the service. Our waitress did not ask if it was our first time, explain the grill process, etc. That was a little disappointing. Overall a nice night out, just missing the wow factor for us.

Thats SATURDAY NIGHT visit.

Not to discount your experience at Palermo but my most recent visit was great. The server was extremely knowledgeable and did an amazing job. The food was excellent and I could probably drink a gallon of the chimichurri.
One of my favorite places in town.

We had dinner there on Friday evening and as usual it was wonderful. Tried a new appetizer for us - the tortilla espanola...egg and potato goodness with a spicy aioli.

My husband had the flank steak that he deemed perfect and I had the pescado a la romana, which was the best fried fish I have ever had - not one drop of oil, no sign anywhere. Wonderful!

Each time we visit, we remember why we love this Bardstown Road jewel.

Overall, we love the place. We did however quit ordering the steak, due to the fact it was always flavorless.

Every time I go to Palermo I am pleased. I always get the parillada so that we can try short rib, steak, sausage and sweetbread. The steak has always been excellent. The place is simply one of the best values in town. However, if you go expecting a steak epxerience like Ruth's Chris or Outback, you will be disappointed. That ain't what Palermo does.

Oh yeah, and the fries should be listed as a controlled substance because of their powerful addictive qualities.
