    Service was impeccable! But my chicken parm was too thin and buried under the thick cheese and sauce. Would’ve preferred a nice piece of chicken breast , not sure what cut was served. Nice wine selection and overall a good experience.

    My wife and I have been going to The Palm DC for years. Our caricatures are even featured above the booth where we routinely sit. We always loved going there and, despite its high-end price, we thought it worth it. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case, and we can no longer recommend it. It has been in a steady decline since the pandemic. The service on our last (March 17, 2025) visit was the poorest we have ever experienced there (the waiter was hurried and rarely came to check on us, and was rude when he did), and the food was a far cry from the quality we had come to expect over the years. Even settling the bill was a chore, taking us about 1/2 hour to complete. And, we were never so happy to leave. I highly recommend taking a pass on this place!

    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.
