    Five Stars for Palmer's Steakhouse - A Perfect Blend of Flavor and Flair From the moment we sat down at Palmer's, we knew we were in for a treat. Dinner kicked off exactly as it should -- with a beautifully garnished Old Fashioned -- and only got better from there. The appetizers set the tone: the hanging bacon was as fun as it was flavorful, and the escargot stuffed into mushrooms was rich, garlicky perfection. Even the bread was noteworthy -- served warm in a little paper bag, easy to pull apart and impossible to stop eating. My NY Strip, topped with bone marrow butter and paired with button mushrooms, was cooked flawlessly. The fresh green beans on the side were crisp, vibrant, and clearly not an afterthought. And I have to give a standing ovation to the French onion soup: served in a classic crock overflowing with melted cheese -- exactly the way it should be. We were celebrating a colleague's birthday, and Palmer's added their own festive touch with a brownie and ice cream topped with a sparkling firework. Classy, fun, and memorable. To top it all off, they were running a deal on one of my favorite wines -- Caymus -- which made the evening even sweeter. A delightful, delicious meal shared with great business partners -- Palmer's Steakhouse knows how to make every visit feel special. Already looking forward to the next one!

    We came here for our anniversary dinner at 5 pm on a Wednesday. They weren't seating people when we got there so we ordered a drink at the bar. The bar is small so we had to stand off in the back corner which was kind of annoying. When they sat us, our server Emmy(sp?) immediately came over and refilled our cocktails. She explained the menu in good detail which was nice. It wasn't too loud in the restaurant which was good so my husband and I could have a good conversation at dinner. The restaurant has Christmas decorations everywhere it was cute ! I ordered the 8 oz filet and it was perfection. Charred on the outside and soft on the inside with bone marrow butter on top. I ordered a twice baked potato which was delish. My steak came with a side salad which was your normal side salad. They brought complimentary bread. My husband ordered a 24 oz porterhouse steak - he said it was made to perfection. He also got a twice baked potato. He got the beer cheese popcorn soup and said he wouldn't have ordered that again. The ambiance was great for a nice romantic dinner. They brought us out a complimentary brownie and ice cream for our anniversary. Total bill for our 2 dinners with 2 drinks each was $175. Mind you I had $11 cocktails. The prickly pear margarita was so amazing I had to have 2! My only complaint is front bar area was crammed and nowhere to move or stand really, but there's nothing much that can be done about that.

    The service was great. The waitstaff was fast and friendly. Explained the menu options and covered the specials for the day. The restaurant is very beautiful on the inside but kept kind of dark. I food is amazing and I did enjoy it, but for what it is it's overpriced. $51 for a 16oz ribeye is a bit pricey. While the steak was delicious it wasn't $50 delicious.

    It had been raining all day and was super humid outside. I think it was unexpected rain so my husband requested an outdoor seat. Even with the weather they didn't adjust anything! I was pretty surprised when they put us outside even though there was a cover. Some other people were outside and didn't seem to mind but I was right next to an opening and was getting sprinkled on! It was extremely muggy outside so I'm pretty surprised they still had the outside patio area open. They put some loud fans on im guessing to fix the humidity, but I felt like they were just loud and it was still muggy/humid outside. We asked to sit inside and they seemed annoyed and stated that it would be another 40 minutes if we wanted a table inside. My husband found two cramped seats at the bar so we went there. The bar tender was nice and pretty quick given how busy they were. The bread was really crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The butter was still very frozen which was a little annoyed for an upscale steakhouse. We started with salads that had a delicious peppercorn ranch. I got the filet with shrimp. The grilled shrimp was cooked perfectly and they were quite large. The steak was cooked well but definitely overly salty. The green beans were good, but it was as if they just sprinkled the seasoning on the top because only the few on the top were seasoned. My husband said his steak was good but over salted as well. The creamed corn wasn't really creamed and had a soupy sauce that was all at the bottom of the bowl. The risotto just tasted like buttery sticky rice and nothing like risotto should taste. The Mac and cheese had no cheese or flavor. It just tasted like noodles with a small amount of sauce at the bottom. Also the small and large sizes for sides was essentially the same and not worth the upcharge for the large. The fries were cooked perfectly. The peanut butter pie was delicious and is made in house! Overall I don't think I'd come back cause the food was really just okay and the sides were pretty bad.

    Hanging bacon.  Mmmmm

    Reservations are an absolute must because this establishment is always busy. Our server Jessica was exceptional. Steaks cooked to order. Nice seafood selection. New appetizers to try.

    Finally made it out to Palmer's, after living in Hartland for almost 18 years lol. Boy, have I been missing out! First, I thought their pricing was very reasonable for being a steakhouse. The brandy old fashioned was only $7 and the blueberry mule was $9. Then all our meals came with soup/salad and a side potato. That's unheard of if you were in Milwaukee. Normally everything is al a carte so this was a great surprise. I got the ribs and they literally fell off the bone. Not to mention the delicious barbecue sauce with them I tried David's filet and it was soo flavorful and had an awesome char. Even the salad in the beginning was great. It was super fresh and just overall a great meal! We will definitely be back.

    I took my 19 year old son out for dinner for his birthday and he had requested steak so why not go to Palmers, it is always delicious! Made a reservation for 5:15, but had to choose the indoor dining room since the heated terrace was sadly not available. We arrived at 5:10 and were immediately seated. We got off to a bit of a slow start with our waitress coming to the table and drinks, but she made up for it. She was very friendly and the entire staff was attentive. I love restaurants that do not let your table sit full of empty plates! We ordered the tomahawk special - go big or go home! the meat was a little undercooked, we ordered medium rare and it was a bit on the rare side, but we did not mind. The sides were boring. You used to be able to get sides off the menu but now its standard issue baked potato, fries, etc. My other son ordered the ribs with a side of fries and he side it was good, not great. That's what he gets for ordering rib at a steakhouse! We also ordered the creme brulee which left me speechless. We will be back!

    This restaurant is such a gem in the area. Make your reservations well in advance so you can sit in the restaurant area. We were only able to reserve the bar area. It's quite busy and loud. I ordered the filet and scallops. They were both done perfectly. Service was attentive and friendly. The bar had a Peach Crown Old Fashioned that was great.

Completely redone by the experienced folks with the Bartolotta Group, the space is a knock-out! My spouse and I arrived early and grabbed some drinks at the expansive bar overlooking the lake. The staff was warm and engaging, and I'm difficult, asking tons of questions and making irreverent comments. They rolled along, laughing and adding to our good time. I'm always wary in Lake Country, because my politics and affect differ from the majority, but the Commodore makes no distinctions. When our friends arrived, we grabbed a table and had a fantastic meal. Our Wiener Schnitzel was great, and our friends raved about the Beef Wellington.
