Food: Stale taste, subpar value
The cuisine at Tiana's Palace was a myriad of disappointment. The taste, akin to blandness, teetered on overly salty, ultimately an unappetizing pageant of flavors. Reviews always point out stale or previously frozen ingredients, indicating a lack of freshness that's hard to overlook. The portions left much to be desired, not because they were particularly small, but due to their inconsistency. The glaring problem was the value. For the exorbitant prices charged, one would expect a culinary masterpiece, instead of substandard fare.

Perks: Reservations conundrum, indifferent service
Perhaps the largest drawback in Tiana's Palace lies in its reservation system - acquiring a spot well in advance feels like a Herculean task. While the outdoor seating is scarce, it quickly turns into a battlefield for contention. However, the poor service truly seals the deal. Between the slow pace and indifferent staff, the dining experience dives south quickly. Large parties are reportedly unwelcome here due to limited seating, and the kids' portions lack in size for the price paid.
Bad For Kids
For the price paid, expected more than a kid's portion.
