The Palm - Nashville

I love fine dining and have eaten in places around the world. And I have enjoyed many of Nashville’s better restaurants. And this past week, a friend and I went to The Palm restaurant. And to be honest, I thought I’d enjoy some of the best food in the world. That is, until we went to The Palm. The ambience was perfect, the service better than that, and the food was phenomenal. Their menu is broad, their wine menu was broad, and their food was the most succulent, tasty, incredibly prepared and presented I’ve enjoyed in many years. The Palm restaurant in Nashville is a ‘must visit’ stop the next time you’re in the city. If you don’t try it, shame on you.

Nestled in the heart of Nashville, The Palm exudes an air of exclusivity and sophistication, drawing in crowds with its promise of fine dining and upscale ambiance. However, upon closer inspection, this restaurant falls short of its lofty reputation. While The Palm offers a menu boasting a variety of dishes, the quality of the food tends to hover around average, leaving much to be desired considering the steep prices. Diners may find themselves underwhelmed by the lackluster flavors, especially when compared to other culinary offerings in the area. One of the most glaring issues with The Palm is its treatment of patrons who aren't part of the city's elite circles. Staff members have been known to exhibit dismissive or even rude behavior towards guests who aren't deemed "famous" or well-connected. This elitist attitude creates an unwelcoming atmosphere that detracts from the dining experience. Furthermore, there have been reports of minority guests being seated away from the main dining area, seemingly hidden from view. This discriminatory practice is unacceptable and goes against the principles of equality and inclusivity. In summary, while The Palm may have its moments of glamour and allure, its shortcomings in both culinary prowess and treatment of guests warrant caution for potential diners. Unless you're prepared to navigate through an environment where prestige reigns supreme and hospitality takes a backseat, it may be wise to explore other dining options in Nashville.

Ordered myself a nice meal today. I am not very pleased with the portion of crab provided for my Oscar style steak topping. Also, my order did not have bread. I am not sure why a 100$+ meal didn’t have bread. Never dined at this place but as comparable to all steak houses, bread is normally offered, dine and and to go.

Our server was fabulous, food was a disappointment! We ordered appetizers and mains, the appetizers came our quickly but our meal took 45 mins to deliver. Also our steaks were very tough and not tasty. Which is unfortunate. I'd say your money and go else where...

I’m never the type to leave reviews or complain but absolutely horrible. 10/10 do not recommend. Had reservations for 9p and didn’t get seated until 9:30. Food didn’t arrive until 10:45p. Waiters and waitresses were very unprofessional and food is not at all worth the price. HORRIBLE!

Another great dinner at the Palm, our waitress was fantastic and all of the staff were so attentive and helpful. I tried their limited time Valentine's Drink and it was delicious! The three cheese au gratin potatoes were so tasty, with the perfect consistency. Our steak and lamb chops were cooked to perfection. Parking: Valet parking is included at the hotel right next door, just make sure to get the stub validated at the hostess station for it to be complimentary!

Not impressed. Food was not seasoned well and overpriced.

One of my favorite places I ever ate at. Food was amazing and service was top notch. Hoping for another trip back to Nashville.
