The Palm Bay Bistro is a cozy and comfortable café. It's a hidden gem!
It is a nice quiet restaurant to bring the family for a great meal. If you are looking for a snack or any meal, it is a perfect place to be.

Excellent food and wonderful service.
Sitting on the balcony overlooking the bay and eating freshly caught Wahoo was exquisite.
The bonus is it is next door to the Red Rooster brewery!

I found this place to be reasonably priced and decent enough food, nice and quiet, you can sit inside or out.

We ordered sashimi, a steak, and grilled fish. The sashimi was tough, the steak was unseasoned and the vegetables boiled beyond recognition and the grilled fish was terrible. We went back to our hotel for a snack.

Very mediocre food. Not well seasoned food. Only up side is close to our hotel. Wouldn't recommend it. Both steak and fish are so so at best. Sashimi of Jack Fish is fresh but ok taste.

Diner style tucked away in back alley. Creamy fish chowder was nice, but pasta and steak was rather unimpressive. The place seems ignored. Not worth trying to find it.

This is the best restaurant we found in Palau. Extensive menu, good wine list, and super friendly service, all make this place a great venue for dinner. You may sit outside with a view of the harbor, or inside in the AC, if desired. We ate here 4 nights and were never disappointed. Great variety of seafood and other dishes.

We were vacationing in Palau and asked a taxi driver recommendations for food. He suggested Palm Bay and he was spot on. Food was delicious with a large varied menu. Fish and prawns were very fresh and well prepared.
Expect to pay a little more but the quality is well worth it.
Highly recommend!

The location seemed nice - it's on the water. But right next to the cargo ship loading docks, which were VERY noisy when we were there. And we could smell someone smoking the entire time. So, those 2 things took away from the overall experience. The service was good. The food was decent - I had fish with an awesome white wine cream sauce. But neither of us felt well after eating there. I wouldn't say "don't go", but I can't recommend it either. It was the only restaurant we went to that didn't add an automatic 10% "service fee".

We passed them many times and never stopped. When we did and went inside we were quite surprised. They have a great breakfast and lunch menu and feature many homemade deserts.

This place is great. Dining as a group, we chose the over-water deck rather than the aircon interior. The menu is extensive, with western and Japanese options. The portions were large, presentation was attractive, and everything seemed very fresh. The sashimi was excellent. The service was brilliant - informal and with quirky banter. We all had a great time and highly recommend the place. It's a little hard to find, but they do free transfers, so no problem.

This bistro seems to be part of the local brewey, and you can sit out on their little porch overlooking the bay and enjoy happy hour or dinner. I had the grilled tuna, and it was delicious--not over-cooked. The service was good, and friendly. I definately would return.
