  Loved everything about this restaurant! Our server has been there for over 20 years and shared stories of customers he served. The Caesar salad was delicious! And the grilled shrimp lunch plate was tasty! Loved the atmosphere!

  I had high expectations for this steakhouse, but unfortunately the service was extremely disappointing. Our server was rarely present, never came back to check if the steak was cooked to the correct temperature, and no one picked up our empty plates. Despite that, we were asked if we wanted anything else or dessert, which felt very inattentive and disconnected. For a steakhouse, this level of service is unacceptable. The lack of communication and urgency made the entire meal frustrating rather than enjoyable. At this price point, attentive and professional service should be a given, and sadly it was far from that. A steakhouse can have good food, but when service is this poor, it ruins the overall experience.

  Had a client dinner at The Palm in DC/DuPont Circle on 1/14. Spectacular. The best service experience I’ve had in a VERY long time. Michael(GM) greeted our table and asked where we had parked. We mentioned we had been able to find a spot on a side street near the restaurant. He asked for our keys and said he would personally have his valet retrieve our vehicle and move it to their parking deck adjacent to the restaurant and have it brought out front when our evening was complete. WOW! Wait service was amazing from food and wine recommendations to overall professionalism of their staff. We had a large group of 11 and their team handled it with ease. And of course the food was amazing. This will be our go to spot for client dinners in DC going forward.

Every bite I took was rich and delicious, and it was evident that the kitchen prioritizes only the finest, freshest ingredients.

The Palm is not just a restaurant; it’s a classic dining experience that never disappoints. I wholeheartedly recommend this gem to anyone looking for an exquisite meal paired with impeccable service.
