    I'd been wanting to try this place for a while and finally decided our anniversary was the perfect time. We were welcomed with a sign on the table and some colorful confetti. The food and service were both very good. I really enjoyed the bread service (you can't go wrong with super soft butter!), and they also brought us a complimentary slice of cheesecake at the end. Overall it was a very nice meal.

    We dined here for a business dinner and had a wonderful time. The Palm offered us a private room for our party and while the noise at first was pretty loud (they had live music), it got better throughout the evening and the private room helped us to have a nice conversation. The service was great and everyone in our group said their meals and drinks were very good. Parking was also easier than expected - lots of available street parking and valet offered off San Jacinto.

    We went to the Palm downtown for our 6th Anniversary. WOW! I had heard about the restruant at a rodeo event but I was more than impressed. The service, the food, the music, the atmosphere! That is our new GO-TO place for sure. Be sure and try the wine Tilman made as the signiture wine.

    Two things really surprised us about this Houston Institution. The side of spaghetti had no flavor. It was mentioned to the waiter who said, that’s why people order a side dish instead. So it is a known issue by the restaurant. The second was the dessert. It was a chocolate cake and it was dry and stale. We didn’t finish it and left it. Based on the price point we wouldn’t recommend it or go back.
