Palm Beach Seafood

Colonial District, the Quays & Marina Bay


There’s not a palm or a beach in sight (name inherited from its parent branch at East Coast Parkway), but the bay views from this split-level diner are pretty good. Groups of suits spin the Lazy Susan, enjoying baked, steamed and fried crabs – the tender chilli crab is hard to go past. Book ahead if you'd like to sit outside.
