I'm a regular at The Palm in Midtown Manhattan, and honestly, it never disappoints. The food is absolutely heavenly... I eat here multiple times a week and somehow never get tired of it! My must-haves: * Chicken a la Milanese (perfection every time) * Filet with salad (so tender and fresh) * Second Avenue Burger (their signature - don't skip it!) * Best soups in town (especially the chef's soup of the day) The service is top-notch, and the management team genuinely makes you feel like family. It's right in the Theatre District, across the street from the Gershwin Theater, so it's super convenient whether you're catching a show or just exploring Times Square and Hell's Kitchen. Bottom line: This is hands-down my favorite restaurant in NYC. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and check it out. You won't regret it! read more

Brian and his Team are always outstanding! Simply the best service and food! Thank you! read more

The Palm - New York - Blessed to have my caricature up on their legendary walls since day 1! - Steakhouses Near Me - New York, New York

April 29th 2025. We came here as part of Hilton $99 dinner and show package for Hilton timeshare owners. Started off with a mixed green salad with the dressing already added. Far too much dressing added. Second course was a 6 oz filet mignon. Cook just right medium seared on the outside and medium cooked pink on the inside. Not too dry with sufficient juice to maintain taste. Side dishes included garlic mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. Not a spinach fan but this is creamed spinach was one of my favorites. Dessert was a large portion of tiramisu cake, about the size of a brick. So big that I I left about half of it uneaten. No doggy bag for leftovers as we were heading for the theater. The $99 dinner and show package was per person. Those who failed to show up for the timeshare upgrade presentation would be billed a full $299 price per person. read more

I had a great time here after work and it was so much fun. The food was great and the environment was also nice. The service was also great as the staff made us feel like home in this environment. I had such a great time and looking forward to coming back. read more

My friends and I came here for a holiday dinner and it was above average. I attribute a lot of that to our amazing server....she was so engaging and fun. The food was fine as well. We started with cocktails, which were just okay. A lot of midtown steakhouses have seriously upped their cocktail game and I think the Palm is just average. For appetizers, we had shrimp cocktail (pretty good), burrata (not the best) and the lobster mac and cheese (really good!). I had a sauteed shrimp for my main entree because when we came here, it was the fourth time in a week I'd eaten dinner at a restaurant and I couldn't have another steak. I liked my entree. For sides we had fries and sprouts, which were fine. Since there were a couple of birthdays in the group, we had some cake for dessert which was great. Overall, a solid experience with good food and terrific service rounding this up to a four star meal. read more

Absolutely phenomenal experience at The Palm! From the moment we walked in, everything was top-notch. The food was perfectly prepared, the atmosphere was elegant yet welcoming, and the service truly made the evening unforgettable. A huge shoutout to our server, Jenny, who was incredibly attentive, funny, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm throughout our meal. Her wine recommendation was absolutely spot-on--we enjoyed it so much that we ended up ordering two bottles! She anticipated everything we needed before we even had to ask and made us feel like valued guests from start to finish. Her trainee, Gavin, was also fantastic! He was friendly, eager to learn, and provided excellent service with a great attitude. It was wonderful to see Jenny mentoring him, and together they made an amazing team and an unforgettable night for my family (who rarely gets a chance to get together) so thank you Jenny and Gavin! If you're looking for outstanding food paired with exceptional hospitality, The Palm is the place to go. We'll definitely be back, and we hope to be seated with Jenny and Gavin again. Five stars all the way! read more

I have been here many times and I've never been disappointed. We came here for my boyfriend's birthday because he is a fan of steak, we had tickets to a show, and he had never been. Shocking to me. Not shocking is it didn't disappoint. I told them ahead of time that it was his birthday and they had a lovely little sign on the table and they comped his dessert. The food not surprisingly was amazing. I had the boneless ribeye medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. It was tasty and tender. The roasted garlic squeezed on top was the perfect touch. Baked potato on the side is comfort food at its best . The surprise of the night was the most amazing Keylime pie/soufflé that I've ever had in my life. It was advertised as a pie, and it did have a little graham crust on the bottom, but it was this amazingly light almost like soufflé of Keylime, topped with this glorious melted meringue that was marshmallowy. It was just to die for. All in all, not surprisingly an amazing dinner read more

It is my birthday, and my girlfriend got me tickets to a play and knowing I like steak told me we were coming here for a true New York experience. That's exactly what I got, and I enjoyed it so much. The atmosphere of this restaurant is so much fun with all the celebrity pictures on the walls. You can feel the history. It has a great vibe. You wanna just walk around and look at all the walls. My girlfriend obviously told them it's my birthday because it was a little sign on the table when we got there that said happy birthday and some sprinkles on the table. I had a delicious sirloin steak. Mashed potatoes on the side were delicious. They were creamy and buttery. My steak not surprisingly of course was cooked to a perfect medium rare. I got the cream corn on the side and it was so delicious. I finished the whole thing by myself. They offered me a complementary dessert for my birthday, which was such a nice surprise. By that time we were so full we actually only ended up eating one. We split the key lime pie. When I tell you, it was more than generous for two of us. The crust was delicious. The key lime was like a mousse. And it had a layer of gooey melted meringue on top. It was truly the perfect end to a great dinner. read more

NYC STEAKHOUSE TOUR (5th Stop) . The Palm is a true New York classic and continues to deliver an outstanding dining experience.

The steaks are rich, flavorful, and cooked just right, while the seafood is equally impressive, especially the lobster, which is fresh and tender. Portions are generous, so come hungry. Service is impeccable--attentive, professional, and genuinely friendly. The staff knows the menu inside and out and always has great recommendations, whether it's a cut of steak, or a side dish. Prices are on the higher side, but the experience, quality, and tradition you get at The Palm make it absolutely worth it. This is dining at one of NYC's most iconic restaurants. Highly recommended for special occasions or simply for anyone who wants to enjoy a quintessential New York steakhouse experience. read more

The service was great! We went for a business lunch and ordered the lunch prix fixe for $35. Not bad. You get a choice of appetizers, main course and a dessert. I ordered the cod and the lobster bisque. Soup was good but the cod had breadcrumbs which were too salty. I took the dessert to go. The restaurant was quiet and well laid out. There were a few other parties there having lunch. read more

Despite a welcoming and charmingly designed interior The Palm falls a bit flat in terms of the actual food itself. While I appreciated that the portions (especially during Restaurant Week) were quite large (having received what was basically an entire plate full of calamari) I found most of the food to be over-salted or a bit too bland. I ordered the chicken parm while my partner ordered the filet and while the chicken was delicious and well cooked the accompanying pasta was quite bland with a very one-note marina sauce. The filet was also fine but served with a marginal portion of bland green beans which cheapened the meal. I will say though that service was prompt, efficient and friendly. We indicated to our waiter that we were in a bit of a rush and he was very attentive at making sure we were on our way within an hour to meet a deadline. read more

We've been coming to The Palm for so many years. We always went to the Palm 2, they closed, the on to the Tribecca Palm, then they closed, so we've been coming to thr 50th street Palm. Welcome from NJ, and if you get a 7 reservation, you can get an easy parking space on 50th street, metered parking. We always come on my bday, December 30th isn't a great bday, but most restaurants are pretty empty, We always come in the summer to, for the special. It's a 4lb lobster for 139. You'd think that's a great deal, but by the time you upgrade the lobster with extra apps and drinks it's over 300. I've had and made lobster my whole life and I'm old, so to come to the Palm and have a great lobster and great service it's worth the money. On this occasion the service, Cassandra, was excellent, but the lobster not so good. I've never had a mushy lobster before. Now I'm going to have to break out the lobster pot and make it myself Palm management I'm coming back for my birthday to give you another try (and there's 6 of us) please don't disappoint us A loyal customer read more

Cool ambiance and good service. The steak was good but a bit chewy unfortunately. The wedge salad was yummy. The creamed spinach was good but not the best. The key lime pie was very yummy. Not the best steak in the city but conveniently near the theater district. read more

Pros: Res made on open table ready when we arrived (even though 15 minutes late-subway issues). Friendly host and server and busser. Lobster was 3 pounds shared with my friend. Was cooked and split beautifully and was flavorful and soft. Husband had ribeye that was delicious. The roasted garlic bulb that accompanied was amazing. Just right to spread on the steak. Friend's husband had surf and turf he loved. Wagyu filet and lobster tail. Both done just right. The grilled asparagus were delicious even if they didn't trim the tough ends enough. The hash browns are pretty good too. Burnt on the outside and soft on the inside. Tiramisu for dessert was a piece large enough for the 4 of us. Cons: creamed spinach was mostly cream. It was slightly gummy and salty. The ketel one dirty martinis were harsh and the blue cheese olives were bitter and gritty and wrong. I couldn't finish mine (crazy). We truly come here once every 2 years or so. Dinner was $720 with tip for the 4 of us. So it is pricey (but expected). read more

One of my frequently visited steakhouses in NYC, The Palm is always a nice way to satisfy a lingering craving for some steak. My go-to is always the Ribeye, which is always tasty and juicy.

A great place to enjoy a fine meal either post or pre theatre- service and ambiance are classic old New York- great cocktails- amazing appetizers and exceptional entrees. Take your time and enjoy the experience and the food - the cocktails are classic- you can't go wrong with a Manhattan straight up! Steaks are always great - the sides are huge- can feed almost 4 hungry adults! Outstanding wine list and deserts selection- if you have the room order the Zeppoles - they are worth the wait. read more

Salem is the best server!! Brian and his staff make us feel very welcome !! We love the Palm!!

I did a excellent choice tonight. I ordered out and did a home delivery through Grubhub and had dinner at home watched a good movie on my New 75 inch Samsung TV. The lobster bisque soup was out of this world the best I've ever had, I recommend it. I had a lite appetite tonight so I ordered the Meatball with Penne with awesome dessert: cheesecake with butterscotch on the side‼ The Palm has really great food and they've been around for a long time. read more

We sat in the bar area with Kiril. He has been there many years and he was amazing with his knowledge of the menu and suggested wine to pair with the courses. The kitchen backed him up with cooking the steak to a perfect medium and ensuring that all the food was hot and fresh. Considering the quality of the food and the high level of service, the bill was fairly priced for the area. Highly recommend this place. read more

Dined here for a 50th anniversary. We had a private room for the evening. Very nice atmosphere, friendly wait staff. The menu was a choice of tuscan salmon, filet mignon, or a black truffle risotto. I wanted to try the chicken parmesana with linguini which I heard was excellent, but no, had to stick with the menu. The dinner began with tomato basil arancini and a marinated steak crostini as appetizers. Then a delicious ceasar salad. The main course was a filet mignon cooked to perfection accompanied with a half head of roasted garlic. You squeeze the delicious garlic over the meat. The sides were garlic mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. Dessert was tiramisu. Everything was delicious! But I still want to try the chicken parmesana with linguini! read more

Enthusiastic welcome as soon as we stepped in the door. Service was fast yet we were not rushed along, really appreciate that. Can always count on the ambience for a familiar feels like home, upbeat but not invasive atmosphere. Food was delicious! Houston, San Antonio or New York, we can always count on an enjoyable experience at The Palm. read more

This place is a hidden gem. If you're looking for a good lunch spot in midtown away from all the hustle and bustle this place is it. Went for lunch on a rainy Saturday after shopping . I had the $32 pre fixe lunch. Salad for the appetizer and catch of the day which was the branzino. My server was Jeffrey and he was very nice. The bread bowl was better than most places , filled me up so I took the dessert home which was cheesecake. Excellent meal deal, good quality and value . I'll be back ! read more

I want to start off with the staff that served us-- they were great, amazing, and i tipped them--well beyond 20%--reflecting their exemplary service and really great ability to control what they could. That being said, this experience was not good. I don't see how--other than nostalgia and hope we don't remember eating--that i bring people back. You have been cutting corners since (and we know since when) and it finally showed. As a legacy "Palm"er. I grew up with the place, all of my first generation American experiences have been celebrated at Palm and I have tried to continue to bring people into this realm. I will very likely not come back and, probably more importantly to your Private Equity metrics, will refuse to continue to advance it via "word of mouth". Here is my roadmap of why this experience inspired me to write this memorandum which--please trust me--I have more important things to do than this: (1) Your quality of ingredient has degraded I've been going to Palm since I was a child. My father, a Norwegian who left the fjords and fisheries at 15 during immediately postwar, demanded/insisted/rabblerosed,etc. that any event that was worth doing, was worth doing at Palm. The reason being, *this* was the best place to get a "clean" lobster. What is a clean lobster? Not what I paid 100s of dollars on 3/20 to celebrate my mother's 80th. I am tasting the leftovers now (again, I want to commend how good the staff waited on me treated me), and it is bitter. We received two bitter lobsters. For a Friday service to have 2 bitter lobsters -- and I invite you to look up what that means-- is telling. I know the difference between Maine and "Nova Scotia." And, I am old enough to have been to Fulton AND get the ticket to Hunts Point. SO, without that, why are we even here? (2) You lost key experience WHY, am I--a 41 year old--trying to recreate/emulate/etc. the old school vibe for you? Where's the guy (who you probably bought out) or guys who will direct the TRADITIONAL, PART OF EXPERIENCE, BIB TYING MARTINI AT ALL HOURS MAKING LOBSTER CLAW BREAKING service that, I used to get. And, why this used to be a go-to. In summation, to the extent I will talk about this restaurat I will not reccomend it. To the extent I will return, I am unlikely to do so. And. If you have read this far, I mourn for this conclusion. Palm (particularly the "Too" location, but let's move on), has been a landmark for me. Particularly it's service and lobster. My parents loved bringing people there, and I also loved peopl bringing people there (any location). In sum, I will not recommend Palm. read more

The food as always is outstanding. But more outstanding is the service, Salem has been a staple of The Palm since the beginning and every time we visit he is a joy to be around and always provides the best service.

It has been awhile since I've been to the Palm, but I won't let that happen again, because it's a wonderful dining experience. We enjoyed a caprese salad for appetizer, our main courses were Sicilian Salmon and the 22oz Bone-In Ribeye, with sides of garlic mashed potatoes and fresh grilled asparagus. Everything was cooked to perfection. Their Tiramisu, which aside from the enormous portion, was delicious. The ambience, service and intimate quiet booths, gave us a thoroughly enjoyable evening. I recommend The Palm highly. read more

Not a good experience. The "wedge salad" was not a traditional wedge as it was soaked in balsamic dressing instead of a blue cheese. The potatoes au gratin were just a big bowl of grease with barely any potatoes (see photo). The server was not attentive as when I didn't eat it he didn't even think to ask. After I paid the full bill (I wasn't looking for any discount) I told him the issues and he began to argue with me that the salad listed balsamic dressing. I said it didn't so he pulled the menu to try to prove me wrong but only proved himself wrong. read more

I found myself at The Palm for an educational dinner. Whenever I can make it work I like attending these because usually it's at a place that's new to me and I end up learning something new. This latest event brought me here to The Palm - I don't frequent Midtown West that often but it wasn't too far of a walk from my office so after work I strolled on over for some food and knowledge. The Palm is located in the thick of the Theater District - in fact, it's directly across the street from the Gershwin Theater where Wicked plays. As such, the restaurant is bustling and filled with (what I assume are) tourists. I didn't realize it at first but there are several Palm locations throughout the country, namely in major metropolitan areas. The dining room was fairly large with several private rooms; the decor was moderate, medium wood tones and white table cloths with noting too outstanding. There's a lot on the menu to appeal to the masses - apps of varying cuisines, soups, salads, Italian dishes, steaks, and sides. We started with a bunch of apps: fried calamari, some cold bar selections (shrimp cocktail and seared tuna), arancini, and crab cakes. The cold bar was my favorite of the apps - the shrimp were large and the tuna was great. The calamari and crab cakes were also good albeit standard. I wasn't a fan of the arancini - not a lot of flavor and tasted like they came from the freezer. For the salad course I had the Caesar - this was generously dressed without being too much and had good flavor. We had three choices for main: steak, chicken parm, and a vegetarian selection (whatever that meant). I usually opt for steak at these events but I wasn't feeling it that night so I opted for the chicken. The cutlet was large (it was likely two) and served with linguine on the side. It was as good as any other chicken parm I've had, so no complaints here. We were served "family style" desserts which is standard with educational dinners - likely multiple desserts served on one plate to share. Tonight it was zeppole with a variety of sauces and cannoli - both were fine. Service was great - everyone was attentive and overall this was one of the better educational dinners I've been to in a minute. Taking a step back and looking at the restaurant as a whole, I think it's a solid option for the pre or post theater crowd; there's something for everyone on the menu and they are very efficient. I'm not sure when I'll be back per se, but if I was seeing a show this would definitely be a place I would consider patronizing. read more

Quick stop into The Palm for a round of drinks before seeing an evening broadway show. Open table seating in their bar area just to the left of the host stand (you don't need a reservation to sit at a table in the bar room). Well lit and themed caricatures paint every wall. My espresso martinis came out quickly and were made perfectly by our bartender. Will definitely return again in the future to relish in the atmosphere, delicious drinks, and positive friendly service! read more

Went in for a late dinner after work meetings. Turns out it's reauranut week in NYC. Ordered an old-fashioned. It looked like a first-time bartender made in a college bar. Tasted bitter, not good at all. Struggled to finish 2/3 of it. The NY strip was delicious! The wine I ordered was okay, lower price point. I knew what I was getting to. However dude down from me got a much larger pour than me. Disappointed I didn't get the same pour. read more

Our favorite waiter, Bashire, has moved on from the Palm on the West Side, but we were lucky to be served by Alberto, who was very attentive and knowledgeable about everything at the Palm. He has been a server at the old Palm on the East Side since 1991, which we miss terribly, including maître d' Albino. We were also very impressed by, and happy to meet, manager Aysun, who was equally attentive to our concerns and accommodating. Both made our Saturday night at the Palm, where we have been dining since 1975, a wonderful experience. Thank you, guys! read more
