A Truly Exceptional Dining Experience at The Palm I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Palm, and I must say, it was an experience I won't forget. From the moment we stepped inside, the ambiance was welcoming and elegant—perfectly balancing a luxurious yet relaxed atmosphere. The service was top-notch, with the staff being both attentive and knowledgeable. Our server guided us through the menu with expert recommendations, ensuring we had the best experience possible. The Palm has certainly mastered the art of fine dining, with every dish crafted to perfection. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a high-quality meal, this restaurant is sure to impress. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience!

I made the reservation several weeks ago for a business lunch on Nov. 19. At the time I made the reservation on OpenTable, I I asked for a quiet table where we could have a business conversation. We were given a table in the middle of the restaurant and it was far from quiet. The noise was very loud and it was not possible to have a sustained conversation between 3 people. If this was the best that the Palm could do for a quiet table, I recommend that you do not book the Palm for a business lunch between 12:30 and 1:30 -- after that, the restaurant cleared out a bit and it was possible for us to actually have a decent conversation. As for the food and the service, both were excellent, the ambiance and fulfilling my expressed desire for seating at a quiet table, not so much.

Overall, disappointing. Started good then declined. Ordered steak medium but it was served rare and waiter was no where to be found for a prolonged period of time. Baked potato had no temperature and butter didn’t even melt. Appetizer and drinks were good but overall dining experience was not what you would expect from an upper level restaurant.
