    Great service, great atmosphere, and more importantly great food! Loved the service and even ended up having light fun conversation with the waitstaff and fellow patrons while listening to good live music. With current inflation prices, this is a restaurant where the cost is true value for money.

    My sister and I had an amazing Thanksgiving experience here. We ordered the Filet and Tail and we could not have been any happier. Victor took great care of us and ensured we had all that we needed and more. He was kind, attentive, and recommended items to us to try. My steak was cooked perfectly along with my lobster tail, but the Rockefeller Oysters stole the show. The ambiance was decadent, much like the delicious sweet potato pecan pie. I enjoyed the seasonal gin and tonic, while my sister delighted over the Bourbon Smash---the bartender did not disappoint. I did not catch her name, but we chatted for a few about various gins and bourbons. Although this was a busy day for the staff, they handled it with grace and the kitchen staff--- I mean, they really showed out. Not a dirty plate to be noted, portion sizes were consistent with the price, and special care and attention to plating was noticed. I will certainly return! If you get the chance, ask for Victor. He's phenomenal!

    We had a wonderful time dining at The Palm restaurant in downtown Washington, D.C. , on Thanksgiving Day! This was our second year in a row and it did not disappoint. The traditional turkey dinner tasted like the best home cooked traditional turkey and dressing with cranberries and sweet potatoes! My nephew had the rib eye which was cooked to perfection! Dessert was excellent. Service was excellent and we even celebrated my birthday with complimentary ice cream! What a wonderful way to celebrate any holiday!
