Since then, Palace Café has received continued recognition from the public. In 1997, Palace Café was awarded the prestigious Ivy award from Restaurants and Institutions magazine, deeming the restaurant one of the top dining experiences in the United States. In December of 1997, Palace Café was featured on the TV Food Network's In Food Today. Shortly thereafter, the restaurant was highlighted in the New York Times, as the headlining place to eat while in New Orleans for Mardi Gras. In April of 1998, Dickie Brennan and Palace Café were featured on CNN's On the Menu recognizing the restaurant for "being consistently voted some of the best food in the city and in the nation." Cooking Light magazine's July/August issue highlighted Palace Café and its Lite Lunch menu.

More recently, Palace Café and Dickie Brennan's family have been included in articles in Food & Wine, Southern Living, Nation's Restaurant News, and numerous local publications.
