    Coming back to DC after moving South, one has to visit the Palm as a reminder of the city’s buzz. However, while the name and structure brings familiarity, it lost its luster. I am glad Landry’s took over to salvage the restaurant from its possible demise but nothing felt familiar . I understand the challenges of the new owners in competing with its past. The attentive service staff is still there but the quality of the food somewhat has somewhat bated. My good wishes to the new owners and the hope of restoring the Palm’s vibe.

    They had no ac and it was ridiculously hot and uncomfortable which did not make a nice dining environment. When we commented, the manager was rude and dismissive.

    Wonderful meal as always. Room was unusually warm but the staff did their best to accommodate. We had the lasagna and Wagyu steak. Kudos to the staff!

    Haven’t been in awhile, chicken parmigiana and the bolognese, split it with a bottle of Chianti. A classic venue, worth a stop in a time or two over the year for dinner…Prefer fall and winter stop ins though.

    An awful dinner. The steaks were overcooked and not tasty. The bernaise sauce was not completely mixed together. Asparagus were uninspired. The restaurant is near the empty so no excuse for an overworked cook. And all so expensive! Not worth it at any price.

    Thank you for have consistently fabulous steaks, sides and salads. Daniella was our server and she could not have been better, the perfect amount of attention. We were directed to a quiet spot and that was much appreciated.

    The Palm offers a top notch menu paired with superb service and attention. From the chilled shrimp cocktail to the ribeye the product was fresh and cooked to temperature. The cheesecake was rich and had just a perfect balanced texture. Sean was attentive and provided great recommendations. He clearly enjoyed the cuisine and was proud of the history of The Palm and its mark in Washington. Thank you for a pleasant, comfortable yet elevated dining experience.

    The Palm called to inform me that there air conditioning was not working which I thought was a good heads up. Upon arriving for dinner, they open the windows and the breeze was great. The service was impeccable. The baked garlic paired very well with the veal chop. The sorbet was off menu and was a nice finish to our meal. Overall it was an excellent experience and I highly recommend The Palm.
