The Palm

The Palm Restaurant Review:

Diners will find a familiar steakhouse ambience at each location in this upscale chain, along with the trademark caricatures of local notables and celebrities lining the walls. The food runs to outsize portions of USDA Prime steaks and lobster, along with straightforward salads and sides such as the Half & Half --- cottage fries and fried onions. A range of chops, fish (broiled, blackened, sautéed or peppercorn-crusted) and Italian dishes is on hand for those looking for an alternative to the beef. Try the jumbo lump crab cakes with chipotle tartar sauce and mango salsa, the swordfish steak with cherry tomato-olive relish, or for something meatier, the double cut lamb rib chops. This is all complemented by a standout New York cheesecake and a notable wine list. The white tablecloth atmosphere is reflected in the hefty tab.
