    I’ve visited The Palm a few times. Very traditional venue and menu. Well delivered, though: Great food and amazing wine list! While our server was excellent and very helpful, there’s something about the overall experience that leaves me feeling a bit out of place. My wife and I, in our early thirties and not originally from the U.S., have noticed that the typical clientele leans older, more traditional. Unfortunately, this sense of being different felt amplified during our most recent visit. Despite our efforts to engage and enjoy the atmosphere, it seemed like other guests were given preference, making us feel overlooked. The host’s reaction — both this time and on previous occasions — came across as dismissive, almost as if we didn’t quite belong. This lack of warmth made our experience less welcoming, even though we had every intention of enjoying our time there. We acknowledge that we may not be the target audience, but we hope for a more inclusive and respectful approach in the future.
