    Five patrons. Crab legs were cold and sent back. Appears all the chef did was micro wave. Terrible. Steaks were tasty but extremely salty. Overall disappointing meal. Will return to Capitol Grill or Ruth’s Chris.

    The Palm, since 1972, is a DC institution with a long term staff, convenient location and good food. What brings us back is John and Claudia in the dining room - the best.

    I’m not sure what was going on last night at The Palm but it was just BAD. The food was warm, steak warm, creamed spinach stiff, lobster ravioli warm. Now two weeks ago I was at The Palm Tyson’s and it was absolutely delicious so I’m not sure why the DC restaurant was so awful. It was restaurant week and I’m pretty sure the food including the $78 dollar ribeye was sitting in the back for a while under a light. We did talk to the waiter and he was nice about and offered to change the food out for something else and tried to warm the ribeye but nothing worked. In the end he took $55 off, that was the cost of the restaurant week meal now I know in order to take food off you have to talk to the manager, the manager never came to our table to offer any assistance and he was just at the table beside ours talking to a couple for 10 minutes. I’ve been to The Palm several times Tyson’s and DC so I’m not new to the restaurant. Will I return to the DC restaurant - NO Remind you, we were the only black people there. Unfortunate and sad.
