Review 4 for Palm Restaurant - Los Angeles - Downtown
"I went to the Palm with my family after graduation - I really thought highly of the restaurant after dining in their Midtown West location in NYC several times, so I thought this one would be on par. The food was excellent, though the menu seemed a bit different (was looking for the prime rib). However, the service left quite a bit to be desired for the caliber of restaurant at which we were eating. Our server was very pleasant and generally good, but often forgot a number of things, such as the water without ice my mother ordered, or the hot water she asked for after that. Even the busboys forgot to get the order in. In addition, I had ordered the surf and turf, and had to remind the server to bring the lobster once the steaks were tabled."

"Manager,Laura, terrible manager to deal with. Put together a dinner business meeting with a group and did not meet our expectations. Unprepared and lack of unprofessionalism shown. Food was fine, but service lacked 4-star quality!"

"My hubby and 16 year old daughter treated to me to a first class Mother's day brunch! From a bottle of Veuve Cliquot to lobster. I loved every minute. Service exceptional too! Thank you Palm. We dine with you often. We were just at the W. Hollywood location last month for our anniversary."

Review 12 for Palm Restaurant - Los Angeles - Downtown
"Palm is always a go to for good service and ambience. Staff and food are both excellent. Known for their steaks but their other fare such as the seafood options (crab cakes and lobster) are good as well."

Review 16 for Palm Restaurant - Los Angeles - Downtown
"We had 5;30 p reservations prior to an 8p concert. Our waitress, while lovely, was either overworked or completely lacked attention to detail. We had to remind her about the sparkling water, our bottle of Veuve was brought out in single glasses and we had to ask for refills. She corked the remaining 1/2 bottle and told us to return after the concert. We and about 20 others stood in front of the restaurant at 11:30 dismayed that they were closed. We had Filet Mignon, lobster and salmon which was excellent. This is my go to restaurant before any Staples Center event. Very disappointed but hope one of the table runners was able to have the $70 half bottle of Veuve. They were the backbone of service this given eve."

Review 18 for Palm Restaurant - Los Angeles - Downtown
"Picked this restaurant based on reputation and location to Staples Center. Location was convenient. Service was attentive. Food was average, especially for the price. While a generous cut, my swordfish must have been "fresh frozen" as it was tastless and mushy. The brussel sprouts were under-seasoned, undercooked and difficult to chew. I expected ALOT more."

Review 20 for Palm Restaurant - Los Angeles - Downtown
"Food was great! Crab Cake was fantastic! The Bone-In Rib-Eye Steak was perfectly medium rare Pittsburg style! The large portion of Creamed Spinach could have be shared with three or four. My only one complaint was our waiter. He wasn't very attentive. We had to ask other wait staff for assistance, and the manager had to take our bill, because we were extremely tired of waiting again."

Review 21 for Palm Restaurant - Los Angeles - Downtown
"By now you can see that I like eating aThe Palm. This time was not quite as good as the others. Our waiter was a bit under the weather and it showed in to the service. Food was also a bit cold which isn't usually the case."

Review 30 for Palm Restaurant - Los Angeles - Downtown
"The service and employees were great. The petite filet was melt-in-your-mouth perfect and cooked to order. The dinner salad was a bit "tired." The greens did not seem fresh and crisp. The creamed spinach was too sweet for my tastes."

Review 31 for Palm Restaurant - Los Angeles - Downtown
"Everyone at the Palm is a professional. well trained and interested in making your visit as pleasurable as possible and seeing that you leave happy, more than satisfied and wanting to come back. There are several restaurants of this kind near Staple's, but for my money, this one offers the best overall package,far and away."

Review 35 for Palm Restaurant - Los Angeles - Downtown
"Slightly overbearing waitress. I am sure deals and specials are worth knowing but it can be tacky to talk money and I really don't need to know about your recovery.
She also screwed up the gift card and had to go back for a 125 credit Error or gaming? I just don't know
Food was good though"

Review 47 for Palm Restaurant - Los Angeles - Downtown
"Was really disappointed with the direction The Palm's menu is taking. Baked potato is no longer on the menu. Almost all the potatoes (not just the au gratin) are premade with cheese... most salads have cheese. It's getting very difficult for anyone with dairy allergies to eat here. Not sure I'll be back."
