From the Critics:
The
Palladium Restaurant, founded in 1979, has
received critical acclaim from all major Philadelphia publications (including
five "Best of Philly" awards in Phildelphia
Magazine and four favorable reviews in the Philadelphia Inquirer)
and national ones as well. We are particularly proud of the fact that reviewers
comment favorably both on the high quality of the food and also on the reasonable
prices.
