The Palm

The Palm's original location was a New York institution for nearly nine decades, one of those classic steakhouses where the host greeted you like family and rich history was all over the walls, given the place had a tradition of commissioning artists to draw caricatures of local luminaries on the walls of its otherwise very high-end institution. And, as it has grown into a fine-dining empire, the tradition has been carried on in each location, and that attention to local history, combined with top-notch, fine-dining-with-a-hug hospitality, has allowed it to become both hyper-local and internationally renowned. You can find it in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, DC.

Landry's has spent countless hours over the years sourcing the world's finest ingredients to prepare for you in their restaurants. The steaks are spectacular, aged for at least 35 days and ranging from petite filets to a massive double-cut New York strip, which is sliced tableside as God intended. Seafood is also popular here, though the extremely chef-driven menu includes less-aggressive seafood accompaniments such as Maryland-style lump crab cakes. There are also duck fat-roasted fingerlings, bacon strips, hash browns, and toast,... The Palm has a strictly enforced upscale dress code. They do not permit beachwear or gym wear, such as sweatpants, sweatshirts, or hoodies. Athletic clothing, jerseys, hats, beanies, bandanas, ball caps, oversized or baggy clothing, tank tops, and sleeveless shirts are not allowed. There will be no excessively revealing clothing allowed. Clothing emitting offensive odors are not permitted to be worn anywhere on the property. The waiters and service are great.
