    We had been to Charlie Palmer once before. We sat at the bar and had the Lamb Lollypop appetizer. It was so good that we said we must return soon for dinner. We came for dinner last night. It was in a word, average…at best. This time the Lamb was overcooked. I had the Pork Chop, which to my dismay, came out sliced. It’s ok to pre-slice a steak. However, I’ve never seen that done to a Pork Chop. It caused the pork to be on the dry side as well. Also, both dishes were covered in a sauce that would have better been served on the side. The service was good, but overall, a lack luster performance. We will not be back.

    We really enjoyed the scallops and wagyu beef cheek! We had a side of the macaroni and cheese which was so full of flavor. Lastly, we ended on the passion fruit cheesecake and that was a nice combination of sweet and tart.

    We had a group of 8 our table was ready for us when we arrived and we were greeted promptly by Albi who serviced our water. All our dinners were perfectly prepared and delicious beverages. However our evening would not have been what it was without our amazing server Lauren. She was such a delight, engaging attentive to our needs all 8 of us agreed that she was just the best, thank you Lauren for making my birthday dinner amazing.

    My wife and I ordered the Porterhouse for 2, possiibly the best steak I've ever eaten! The entire staff was incredibly attentive, glasses were never empty, good guidance on the menu. The wine list was robust, plenty of great Napa cabernets to complement the steak. It was our first time at Charlie Palmer, we will definitely be back.

    My wife and I dined here for our anniversary. We were greeted with a glass of complimentary champagne. The hostess and wait staff congratulated us. The food was excellent and our server Sandy was attentive and friendly. And it was the best steak I have ever had. Will definitely eat here again.
