"Steak was done to perfection. Had a 3 lb lobster for my birthday! Very Good. Wedge Salad had way too much dressing on it. Thought the mark up on wine was a little high. Overall, had a nice evening and would come back again."

"Special escargot stuff mushrooms were fantastic - buttery, garlicky. We used the bread to sop up the left over butter. Didn't want to waste a drop! The bone-in ribeye was perfect as usual. The special 18 oz. boneless ribeye with portobello mushrooms, lobster, and bordelaise sauce was interesting. The steak was cooked to a perfect black & blue with blackened seasoning on it. It could be a little stronger for the meat. The bordelaise sauce overcast the lobster so you really couldn't tell if you were eating lobster or mushroom as it robbed the lobster of its flavor. I would suggest just a garlic herb butter or maybe hollandaise, some kind of cream based sauce to let the lobster shine a little. Note: Check the Padres schedule before you book."

"We had a great time. We were accommodated when we arrived early for our reservations. It happened to be happy hour so we indulged in some terrific cocktails and flatbread appetizers. We opted for the specials. the Flank and the veal chop. Both dinners were very well seasoned. The server, Jose, was attentive and helpful with our choices. Adam Gash, the manager, and Anna made sure we were happy,
When we left we were saying " When are we coming back again?"

And the food, was just delicious, not only good, but huge portions. It's nice to be able to have another Palm meal at home today.

"Great place to eat a sophisticated ambiance with great customer service. The food was top notch only to be matched by its great customer service and wait staff. The bar is simple, great bartenders and is the perfect spot to sit and relax after a long day of working. The Palm is the spot for that occasional great dinner, and a great bar to relax.

"It was Valentines day so it was unusually packed. The food and the service was great but we did have to wait a while for items to come to our table because the staff was extended. I understand that it was busy but we asked for the brandy peppercorn sauce and didn't receive it on our plate and after we asked again it didn't come to us for another five minutes. I don't think that I will return for Valentines unless I reserve a booth in bar."

"The Palm is always good and the food great. This particular restaurant is very popular and for many good reasons. In addition to the standard fare which is excellent beef, there are numerous great fish specialities from which to choose."

"The food was incredible and the service was outstanding. I just think it's a little dark in there and the prices are a little high. I think you can find better value at other restaraunts. I still enjoyed my visit though."

"Restaurant was exceptionally loud even sitting in a booth against the wall. At times i found myself having to shout to carry a conversation with our guests.
Service was outstanding. Juan catered to us continually and was very attentive.
Food was just ok though. This wasnt our first time here and steak was good enough but you expect more from The Palm"

"We often dine at the Palm, in various cities, but this was our first trip to the Palm in San Diego. Everything was perfect! The nice thing about the Palm is no matter which one you go to the level of perfection is the same. You may find variances in the food but they are minor and usually tend to be nice changes. This Palm was flat out outstanding! Our waiter was Robert, who was exceptional. One of the wonderful things about the Palm is that there are no limits. If you want it, they will do it, and with a smile. We will definitely be going back to the San Diego Palm!"

"We tried The Palm on Restaurant Week, our first visit. Tuesday night, and it was hopping. Not too noisy though. The booth was comfortable and roomy. Would seat 4 people with room to spare. We were not disappointed. The food and the service both very good. We had the 8 ounce filet, done just as we ordered, rare, med-rare. The beet salad was outstanding, and rather generous. Desert was very good...bread pudding for me, cheesecake for him. We chose a modestly priced bottle of wine. Most bottles were out of our price comfort zone though. We wish there were a few more moderatly priced bottles to choose from. We will be back for sure. We are occasional Flemmings and Mortons diners, and we are adding The Palm to our list."

"Everything was outstanding! Our waiter, Bobby was helpful, knowledgable and entertaining. He catered to our every wish, and then some. Service was fantastic. The Assistant Manager, Michael, ensured that our 21st wedding anniversary was one we will remember forever. Both Bobby and Michael deserve special recognition for making a memorable evening even more special.
I haven't even mentioned the food! Everything was beyond delicious! We visited during Restaurant Week and although we chose from the Prie Fixe menu, the items to choose from we're delightful and portions were generous enough that we took home several boxes for a savory lunch the next day! We are definitely going to return for another "date night" in the near future!
