I will be honest - this place seems pricey, but I went last night for a Charity Event, and did not have to pay, so this review is STRICTLY about the food, service and ambiance. We began the evening in the bar where we enjoyed complimentary beverages. I had a glass of Chardonnay (not by choice, that's the white they were pouring that evening), as well as a glass of Chandon Champagne. My husband enjoyed a Woodford Reserve and Diet Coke. They had quite a large selection of drinks. The bar area was packed, so I didn't have much of a chance to see the decor, etc...but was pretty nice, overall. There are even a few booths for extra seating. We were then taken into the main dining room for dinner. We had fresh rolls waiting for us at the table, and the service was incredible. They didn't miss a beat; our glasses were always full. The menu was pre-fixed - we started with a delish Caesar Salad. It's the creamy dressing, and there was a lot on it. Following the salad, the sides were delivered: Creamed Spinach (which was fabulous) and the Cheesy Potatoes (which I am a HUGE fan of). Our entrÃ©es came out promptly after the sides: A large Filet Mignon (which was perfect) and an enormous Lobster (again, amazing) with a butter sauce and a lemon that enhanced the flavor! I only had 2 bites of each, and was stuffed. As the evening continued, they brought out a delectable Cheesecake. I could only enjoy a taste of this because I was so full. It was very tasty and creamy, with a THICK crust. The staff was very accommodating. I can't guarantee it is always like this, as this was a Celebrity Charity Event, but it really was very good. The ambiance is a little weird in my opinion. I've been to The Palms in Los Angeles, so I knew what to expect, but my husband had never been to one and he was a little confused. For being such a classy restaurant, it is bizarre to have famous people's faces painted ALL over the walls. :) It's located directly across the street from the Bridgestone Arena on 5th - so the location is kind of cool, too. Compared to all of the other fancy-schmancy steakhouses, this is pretty up there. I like Flemings just as much, though - just a totally different feel. Bon appetit!

Live's off its history more than anything else. Can think of better ways to spend that kind of money on a meal. But its good.

Came here with a large group. The staff was super attentive and ensured that our food came out like clockwork. It was literally steps away from the Hilton, so that makes it pretty easy if you are staying there. The lobster bisque was so-so ( I like to see at least 1 solid piece of lobster in my bisque). However the steak was perfectly cooked. Sometimes I get nervous abut chain restaurants like this, but Palms Nashville helped me to put nerves aside for the night.

We were celebrating and wanted to have a good surf and turf dinner. The reviews we heard for the palm were great so we tried it out. The service was excellent but the food was an absolute let down. The meat didn't have any flavor and the lobster was not fully cooked!! On top of that the food was not even hot when it was brought out. I have to say this was a huge disappointment. I don't mind paying 40 dollars for half a lobster but it should at least be cooked. If you're considering it, think again.

Ok, let me start with the food was actually good, however, for $210 for two people, this place sucks monkey balls. The waiter, Chris, was extremely rude implying that my fiancÃ©e was fat enough to be with child. After we where done and have left payment, I went to the bathroom, when I got back, he said "oh there you are" with a very rude attitude. Also, the drink service was horrible, if I had gone to any other restaurant my drink would have never been left empty, but this high class place left our drinks empty half the time we where there. Which brings me to the price. 28 dollars for a coke and a sprite with three refills each, and the worst part is the drinks where only half the size, about six ounces, of a place that charges an already absurd 4 dollars for a drink with unlimited refills. I understand charging 50 dollars for a steak, but 28 dollars for a few soft drinks? You have got to be kidding. Also, let me tell you about the bathrooms. Given that I just paid $210 dollars for a meal, you would think that the toilet stall would have enough room to move around with out having my clothing rub up against the toilet and the door at the same time, or that they wouldn't cheap out on the toilet paper, that the toilet paper dispenser would give out more than two square of paper at a time, but alas no. The valet parking was a very nice feature, but not enough to save me from giving this place a scathing review. Now lets, talk food. The lobster bisque was very good, but they skimped on the lobster, there was actually only a few lobster shavings, but the bisque part was still very good. For 15 dollars you would think they could include more than few shavings of lobster in the LOBSTER bisque. Most of the steak was very good, but again for 50 dollars you would think that the bottom of the steak wouldn't be slightly burned to a char. The rolls where severed cold... The mashed potatoes where served family style and where very good, but we didn't order the family style serving size. The deserts where very good, but for half the price you could get the same deserts at another restaurant served warm and with a side of ice cream. Don't get me wrong, I understood going in that the place was going to be over priced, and I didn't care about the price, my point is that for the price, the service should have been better and they shouldn't have skimped in certain areas. I have been to five star restaurants before that charge these prices, this is not one of those places. I got the distinct feeling that they where intentionally giving us bad service so that we would never come back. Save your self $150 dollars and just go to outback and get better service. Also the steaks will be better anyway.

The quality of food at this restaurant is excellent. Tablecloth and high end service. Well organized and well run restaurant. Will be back again next time in town.

We have been here multiple times, and it is certainly one of our favorite spots when visiting Nashville. We had dinner at the bar, and our bartender/server (Aaron) was tremendous, plus the food is always top notch!

The palm was great! Great service and amazing food! However, they have taken the baked potato off the menu, which was strange bc usually a steakhouse has a baked potato. The chocolate cake I had was delicious,and very very thick. I definitely would come back!

Well, I'm not really a steakhouse guy, and this place is definitely that. The clientele reeks of the 1980's brooks brothers "cocaine & cuff links" crowd. Not exactly the kind of folks i enjoy spending time around, just itching to secede from the union again........ Anyway, the door guy was fucking weird. nice, but an odd bird. The service was fantastic, however they did bug us a little too much during dinner, interrupting conversation a whole bunch of times. The food was not that great, I had ahi tuns steak, broccoli, and we split a shrimp cocktail. Shrimp was large and good, and the tuna was decent. My compnaion had prime filet, and it had to go back because it was like a a pile of salt that had some meat around it. The second time, not exactly cooked right(temperature-wise), but we were already moving on to bigger and better things by then. For the price, they probably should have done better. Our server was fantastic though, and handled us with care. Overall, ok, but definitely not worth the money.

The Palm is known in most major cities as place where you can lay down some cash for a great meal and good drink. The service and wait staff is always outstanding. The menu, albeit minimal, is typical for the fine dining steakhouse you find in most downtown areas. The atmosphere feels a little more relaxed than most upscale places. It's not uncommon to hear a lot more conversation going on in this restaurant as opposed to the 'hush' of Morton's or Stoney River. I must admit, however, that over the past couple of years this place has seemed to go downhill. Blame it on the difficulty of being in the fine dining business since '08, but the quality of food here as become worse with each visit. On my last three visits here my steak could have been better for the money. Despite these setbacks, the Palm is still one of my favorite places to eat after a night at the symphony or for special occasions. The excellent service and great atmosphere make up for the sometimes mediocre quality of the food.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Nashville. Lunch or dinner, the food and service are always spectacular. Best lobster in town without a doubt. They will adapt food anyway that you like it without any hassle whatsoever. Can be noisy at times, but it's upbeat and energetic. It is pricey, but it is always solid.

So...the good news is that both the burger sliders and the lobster sliders at the bar are delicious. Even better, after 9 p.m. all the choices on the Bar Bites menu are only $4.50! thepalm.com/PrimeTime#Hoâ€¦ Sadly, shortly after we were seated in a nice little booth, the Predators game let out and the bar was swamped with a giant wave of revelers. It got so loud that just for fun I yelled at the top of my lungs a couple of times (kind of like the people in neighboring booths were doing to greet the friends they saw across the bar) just to see if anyone would notice. No one noticed. For some people, this experience would have been rollicking, lively and fun. For me, it was claustrophobic, cacophonous and a bit maddening. Although the Bar Bites were so delicious that I'm slightly tempted to wear earplugs and blinders and go again just for those yummy mini burgers and lobster rolls. On second though, nope. Not worth it.

I was in town for business and we went here for lunch. The atmosphere as perfect for a professional lunch. It was quiet and respectful and the staff was professional. They offer a business lunch special with 3 courses which made decision making very easy. I would recommend this for lunch with colleges if you need a good place to discuss business.

Always wonderful - pricey - but wonderful. Steaks were scrumptious as always. Service was impeccable and wine list perfect. Business dinner that pleased all present. The birthday table next to us seemed to be having a good time as well. Worth the price - worth the treat!

Jeff S.

The food was great but the service was extremely slow. Our waiter was a bit odd. Told us he thought the calamari was better at the Cheesecake Factory. (It was not so that was a plus). He also said that Crispy Cream donuts are better than their bag of donuts dessert. We went with the seven layer chocolate cake which was great. That being said we did not plan on a two and half hour dining experience which is what dragged down the score

One of my favorite steakhouse's especially when in Nashville. Have been to Palm's in Vegas, Atlanta, Tampa and DC - Nashville is my favorite iteration. The old world clubby atmosphere and professional wait staff always make my visit a pleasure. It's a steakhouse so you can imagine the choices - occaisonally there is an Itialian flare up on the menu...which is very exciting. The crab appitizer is on the verge of decadent and lobster is always a good choice. Steak is, of course, the star here and they usually deliver. Any issues or shortcomings are handled quickly and professionally. Great people watching and on more then one occaision have seen a county music star at the bar or dining room...but don't let the spectre of seeing Kid Rock slurp down oysters frighten you away from going...

I went to Palm for lunch and think that this is just an OK place. I had the lunch special where you get a salad, entre and a desert for something like $20. The salad was just OK. I picked the filet mignon entre which was not that impressive and is just what you could find anywhere else. The desert was huge and enough for two. Overall, this lunch menu offers a good value given the amount of food that you get but don't expect anything extraordinary. The reason I am giving this place 3 starts is because of the service. Our waiter was very rude and mixed up our orders.

We were here for a business dinner this past week and had a fantastic meal. The lamb chops on this occasion were among the best I have ever had. I always like the lobster bisque as well. The location is convenient to the downtown scene and the new convention center. Probably the best restaurant in the area.

Tu V.

Words don't describe how tasteful everything is here. They have one of the best service, the filet mignon and crab at every bite it brought a tear to my eyes. I was here on a business trip, but we had to try this restaurant out. We also had 3 dishes of dessert. my favorite was the carrot cake. but the great part about the restaurant is the atmosphere, to actors, to nice waiters and waitresses that will tell you stories that becomes very interesting. this is the place to go to if you are ever in nashville.

Katie I.

Palm is good. Not super fab. And for some reason every time I've gone (before a preds game) the service is mediocre at best. Maybe the NYC-born restaurant kept their NY attitude, but there are other favorites in town that can offer an all around wonderful dining experience. Steak and salad is good. Creamed spinach has too much nutmeg and/or cream. Will go again out of convenience, but I say flemings is top notch in this category.

This restaurant was a complete bust for our party of 3 tonight. They couldn't bother to honor our 8:00pm reservation but seated a minimum of 10 other parties that came in after we arrived. There was no room to stand, let alone sit in the bar. The staff was condescending and we won't ever try this establishment again in the future

LOVE the steak at the Palm. I LOVE everything. the only thing i don't like is one thing... if you are going to spend $100 bucks a person and you will-then can the server at least act like he wants you there. Our server was miserable the entire time! I have been to this location before and had a great experience but this time I felt like our server just hated us. That's my complaint. I feel like the food is so great, your going to spend around $200 for two people so you want the experience to be special. Go to this location for the food- its great and hopefully you wont get a server that seemed annoyed the entire night.

A chain that doesn't feel like a chain....i like it. I have been to a few Palms and this one does not disappoint. Hate the Ny Strip and it was cooked to perfection. Sides were all good. Only Cons - a tad too pricey

Outstanding steak and seafood restaurant! From the service to the food to the ambiance, I really enjoy visiting this location of The Palm. Whether it's a romantic evening for two, celebrating a birthday party or dining with colleagues, you can't go wrong here. The prices are steep but the flavor and quality of the food is just extraordinary.

We had a fantastic meal at The Palm last weekend in Nashville. The staff could not have been more pleasant and our meals more perfect! The steaks were done to perfection as was the rest of our meal. What a great treat this Palm location is! We will definitely be back on our next visit to Nashville.

This is not the place to go if you are on a budget, but if you like great food and great service this is the place. The Colossal Crabmeat Cocktail alone would justify repeat business, and the Bag of Warm Donuts, while sounding pedestrian, is now my favorite dessert. In fact, the crabmeat cocktail, donuts, and a cup of their excellent Italian coffee would be a great meal without bothering with an entree. Can't wait to go back.

Sitting at the bar as I write this. Ordered the winter pairing. Mushroom ravioli. oK not great would not order again. Lobster bisque really good. Filet med rare. Med but just warm not hot or sizzling like Ruth's. Filet was very good! I normally do bone in steaks. Lobster Mac and cheese was a little dry, but had plenty of cheese and flavor. Mushrooms .....AWESOME! Bar service was great, ! Wayne! Jeanna, Carter.

After landing in Nashville my fiance and I went searching for a bite to eat. We were in the middle of Nashville and had our choice of many bbq joints, but somehow ended up at the fancy schmancy chain, Palm Restaurant, in tees and flip flops. Knowing that there would be more food at the rehearsal dinner later in the evening and this was just dinner #1 we decided to split the crab cake entree. It came out within minutes and it was delicious! My fiance probably would have preferred a pulled pork sandwich from Rippy's down the street, but the crab cake at the Palm hit the spot for me!

Having heard much about The Palm , my wife and I thought it would be a good place to celebrate our 10th Anniversary. What a disappointment. We had reservations and were seated in the middle of a bench type seating arrangement sandwiched in between 2 other couples. The ambiance was similar to a noisy cafeteria. I ordered the surf and turf, it was just OK. I am used to being able to cut a good steak with a fork and this was a challenge with a knife. My wife ordered the salmon and it was waterlogged and bland. The staff offered to pour more butter over her salmon and eventually removed her meal from the bill. With all the fine dining options in Nashville skip the The Palm.

The C.

Had a great meal here with co-workers. All the food was great at our table. I personally tried the seared tuna and the bone-in ribeye. The steak was one of the best I have had (and I've eaten a lot of steak). The waitress and support staff were great. It was a fantastic evening. The only downside is the price. I would definitely go back.

Having been here many times prior to big events in the Country music world, I dig the crowd and flavors this place offers. First, the bar area is usually bustling with a star studded cast during big nights: Country Music Award, concerts, or simply weekend nights. They make an excellent martini and at the price of $10-15 each, you'll be sure to move on after a few. Second, the food here is on par with an over excessive Americanized serving portion. This, helps justify the cost of the meal. Having been to much more expensive places and received half the serving, I feel the over all portions to price ratio are acceptable on any budget. Third, the staff here are knowledgeable about both the menu and the clientele. Engage them in conversation and they have amazing and fascinating stories to tell. Fourth, if you live in Nashville, bring your our Tupperware. There is definitely food to be brought home. Lastly, get the chocolate cake for desert! One piece here could feed four! Oh, and watch out, this is a tourist destination. That means there is a 25% liquor tax on all adult beverages! I have enjoyed my drinks, meals and conversations here. Not to mention the star gazing on a good night. This would be a great night out for a date or wanting to impress someone.

I know this is a chain restaurant, but it's good value for good service. We wanted to get away from the maddness of convention center, so we took a short drive to this location. They have valet parking, attendants were vey nice. we were seated promptly (okay, so the place was empty) Food came out rather quickly. I had palm for first time in my life, it was excellent, similar to bamboo. Steak for the main, which was done just right. Waiters were also nice, though he picked very dark location - it was obvious we were biz dinner of four, so he should've put us in blighter place...that's the only complaint. Oh, and they have some interesting drawings on the wall...

Always love this restaurant but expect to pay $100 person with all said and done. One thing that makes me mad is the palm keeps forgetting to check me in on open table?! Twice in a row...

For the love of god, the wild mushroom side dish is all you need, stopped in for snack afore train and maroon 5, all so corporate, buffalo mozrella - yum, calamari - yum, salad something with shrimp - yum, crab cakes yum, loads of appetizers to share before the show. So yes I really love the $40 lamb chops with spinach but dont NEED them. Nonsense waiter blah blah, chit chat, but I still like the palm, lobsterfest yah on someone else's budgie. Ta da!

Rahel K.

Talk about service & atmosphere.... We walked in before a concert at Sommet and it was packed. While he tried to get a table I walked straight to the bar (surprise); a waiter immediately approached me and said he'd get me a table right away. It was as if I had my picture painted on the wall or something. I was impressed. We had to eat quick but my martini was perfect and the wine list was divine. I had a medium rare New York strip; it was delicious. The sides were tasty; typical for an upscale steak place. I like the Palm because it's classy but not stuffy, sophisticated but not trendy, relaxed yet upscale. You could go with a group of good friends and have a good laugh or with colleagues for a business deal. Very nice for a dinner before a concert or a power lunch in downtown.

Poor choice on our part.. We thought the palm would be safe and turned out horrible. We had Bisque, Caesar and Wedge salad apps.. All were awesome and that along with delightful bread with high quality butter led me to believe we were in store for a surprise.. However, there is a reason we never eat at the one in Dallas or anywhere else for that matter. My rare plus steak came out medium plus and was terrible.. tough dry and downright bad. I took two bites of my half that i split with my son and he did the same before we both pushed it away. My wife had the seafood pasta with red sauce... No sauce on the pasta and the seafood was minimal at best..that dish was a real shame to serve even at a high school lunch counter. We also had veal Parmesan which was pretty good, even though you had to eat 3-4 bites of the Fred Flintstones portion to get to the pasta. Au Gratin potatoes were shocking.. In my many years both in the kitchen and at the table i have never seen mashed potatoes topped with melted cheese referred to and served as Au gratin.. Amazing.. As far as the service goes.. the servers were way above our social status according to their attitudes. And the horrible partially eaten entrees were never discussed by our server with us as to our satisfaction. Ill go to 7-11 for a hot dog off the wheel before i go to another palm again

been many times and have yet to yelp it so here it goes.. took clients out for lunch yesterday. service is excellent starting from the valet service (free, tips encouraged) to the wait staff (1 star). Went with the business lunch ($19) which included choice of salad or soup, entree, and dessert (cheesecake or key lime). not a bad price for 3 courses (1 star). Caesar salad was decent, tenderloin medallions were over cooked...disappointing. I would have sent back if I had more time but we needed to get back to a meeting. bottom line: The Palm has the reputation of being a first class steak house. It has all the components to be but unfortunately the food never really delivers. It's very average at best. Go for the ambiance of a busy restaurant and for great service but don't get yourself excited for stellar food..you'll be disappointed.

The lobster special is a great value and a terrific date night place to hang. The service is terrific and with all the care and attention and well as team work, this place has a great feel. The steaks are also great and the wine selection is reasonably priced and versatile. Great value for the money and although i little pricey, you get what you pay for here.

Just went back recently and noticed that the bar menu items had changed a little but were just as good choice and price wise

I know this is a chain and I usually like the local places but, nothing beats the service and food from the Palm. I love their lobster bisque, and the Rib eye. The faces on the wall is pretty cool, the only gripe I have is that being located next to the Bridgestone Arena when there are big concerts don't expect to get out of their soon.

Much better for lunch. I am always disappointed with the quality of dinner. Service is always excellent.

This is the best place to go when someone else is buying. The food is fantastic but extremely expensive. I've only ever been here for business functions. They have great filets and fried calamari. The steak arugula salad is yummy too. Drinks are usually very potent as well. This is the place to be seen in the Nashville Music Biz so don't be surprised if you catch a glimpse of a country singer or famous songwriter. My one warning is if you're a female don't wear heels. The wood floor is the slipperiest in the world. I can't walk on it to save my life and it's not a place you want to slip at. They do have valet as well, which you need in that area of town.

The Palm has tasty food, nice atmosphere and is a great place to get together and share a nice meal. Some friends came into town this weekend (to beat the rush of Vandy's upcoming parents weekend) and we went out to dinner at the Palm. It was a nice treat. I had the N.Y. strip steak as did most everyone else and we had an array of side dishes. Based on our tasting session, the lobster was the top dish for sure. It was super fresh, even for Tennessee. My friend who ordered it had just come back from the Bahamas and caught some Bahamian lobster, agreed that it was super fresh. The service was phenomenal, and the Palm does a great job at creating a great atmosphere.

Not very good last night. Three cheese potatoes had more cheese than potato! Sent my wife's steak back to have it cooked a little more.....came back in virtually the same doneness as when we sent it back. Frankly, we never send stuff back! Very expensive, which was not a surprise, but very disappointing.

Maybe it's the fact that I always enjoy several strong gin and tonics with my meals here, or maybe it's the fact that I yet to pay for my meal, but I do enjoy dinner at the Palm. Yes, it's a chain. Yes, it's expensive. Yes, it's kind of fancy. But, the Palm mimics the old, smoke-filled steak houses that you find around Chicago or New York. The food isn't super fancy, it's straightforward, not avant guard. The service couldn't be better - again, maybe that's because I always go with folks who are regulars. This is a place where you have to go big, or you should just go home. I wouldn't suggest ordering salads or chicken here...it's a steak and seafood restaurant. I usually start out with the Slater special as an appetizer (1 shrimp bruno + 1 crab cake) and then I like to follow that with a filet topped with lump crab meat and hollandaise sauce. I'd also recommend going in for a physical following any meals here.

Such a disappointment! Overpriced and over-salted. Used to be you went to the Palm knowing it was expensive, but that you would have a great meal. This is no longer the case. I feel this restaurant has run its course. If you want a great steak, try Morton's or Flemings. I ate there last night with two friends and nothing we ordered was fantastic except the chocolate cake. I won't be back for dinner. Lunch maybe, but not dinner.

Another convenient place near the Nashville Convention Center.. I spotted this place while on the taxi coming from the airport ($22 flat rate for those who wanted to know). They had a valet stand and I equate valet stands to pretty good food. . Took a group of my customers there for some lunchtime fare and the atmosphere is great. They have cartoonish drawing covering most of the wall space. The food was satisfactory. I had a Caesar salad which was lightly dressed (not really the way I wanted it), and the grilled chicken looked boiled to me. The service could have been better. I felt like we were treated like second rate customers by our waitress. Maybe it was her southern charm? Was the food worth the price? Not really.. Would I go back there again if I ever find myself in Nashville? Probably not.

Steaks that cut like butter...Seriously, the best steak I have ever had was at The Palm. It's expensive, it's fancy, and I could never afford to go there if someone else wasn't paying for my meal, but I love this place. Because it's so delicious I would definitely recommend that you make reservations instead of just walking in, and that you go there ready have a great and really filling meal. Their wine list is also fantastic and their servers are attentive and prompt. I asked for my steak medium rare, and it came out exactly as I had hoped. Again, steaks that cut like butter, I can't say much more.

I haven't really been to a GOOD steak house that has the WOW factor. I'd much rather grill up some good ribeye on my own grill just like the way I want it. I've been to The Palm in West Hollywood, Downtown LA, and now in Downtown Nashville. Seriously, they are not that good. The appetizers are mediocre, and their main dishes and a la cart sides are not exciting. I've had their fish, ribeye, fillet, and all are just boring. I'd much rather go to cheesecake factory and have their steak and fish and pay half the price; and I think Cheesecake is better too. hahahaha. Maybe I need to be an old fart w/ a cane sipping on some cognac to enjoy the dimly lit steak houses.

Nothing more then a chain restaurant steak with less then adequate service". I was with a party of 6, two bottles of Coppola wine and a mix of steak, lobster and sea food. The lobster was HUGE but so was the price. Total check was $685 plus tip. I had the 16oz porterhouse and it was just plain boring, no seasoning, not tough but not tender either. Just not worth the price. Very noisy, hard to hold conversation...

I think I'm supposed to hate this place because it is a chain restaurant for nasty corporate types and other Republicans. However, when I went to lunch here on my old company's tab, I was impressed. Lunch salads, especially the ahi tuna and cobb salads, were outstanding. I cannot get enough of very good lunch salads. Services was impeccable in a snooty sort of way. Overpriced (natch).

This is a place that you want to love for so many reasons, but have just as many to dislike it. White table cloth service in the middle of downtown is going to be expensive. With apps and cocktails, we spent north of $200 for a table of 2. The appetizer sampler with seared tuna, shrimp cocktail, and lump crab was by far our favorite item. I had the 9 Oz filet, which priced at nearly $50, may be the most expensive steak in town per pound. It was a good cut of meat, and maybe slightly under medium rare which is ok with me. However, there was no flavor. Maybe a GREAT piece of meat can stand on its own, but a little salt and pepper never hurts. This steak tasted like it was not seasoned at all. My wife had the sea bass, which wasnt what she expected. We expected seared or grilled , but it was roasted, and served with fried shrimp and a sauce that tasted over reduced. It wasn't terrible, but it also was not a $45 dish. Not something I'd order again. Our service was outstanding. The server was patient as we enjoyed our drinks and chatted for several minutes. She wasn't pushy or did she makes us feel rushed. When we were finally ready to order, our food was delivered promptly. They do have a good lunch special, offering soup or salad, limited selection of entree, and desert for around $20. I'd recommend for a good business lunch. If you are looking for a nice dinner and willing to pay premium prices, there are many better spots in town.

A little uppity! Really, we are in a Nashville in the summer. A large group having fun and we were too loud. They moved us from a large table to a private room like children. Oh well, good food; good booze; good time.

Located literally adjacent to Bridgestone Arena, this restaurant has a dark, old-school steakhouse feel with walls covered in celebrity caricatures. I imagine the Nashville location has more country music stars than others; they are located all over the country. But still classic charm. I had great and attentive service the entire time, with delicious drinks and foods. Seriously, GREAT service. We all shared side dishes, since they come in family-style plates... brussel sprouts, creamed spinach, potatoes au gratin. I don't eat a ton of green veggies, but the creamed spinach is something I could come around to. I chose the chicken parmigiana, not feeling in the mood for steak, but my group's meals all looked amazing. I will say that I think I enjoyed this meal immensely knowing that the big price tag wouldn't be my responsibility. I think Palm is a fancy, solid steakhouse downtown. You won't have the best steak of your life, but the ambiance is perfect for special night out. The food is all great, albeit on the expensive side. Definitely worth trying at least once, if you're interested in a great first date, anniversary meal, or other special occasion. Also heard it's a great power lunch for fancy executive types.

I feel like it's losing it.... We've been 4 times, and it just seems to steadily decline every visit. I will say, as always, the Lobster Bisque was phenomenal! My lobster was overcooked and rubbery, (this was a first, they're usually spot on) All in all good meal, just not worth what we paid for it in my opinion.

Besides the moscato being warm the food was amazing. We had the salmon and the sea bass, both excellent. Our server Daniel is the man, funny and great guy. Best service ! Wallet will be light when you leave.

It was a busy busy restaurant! Everyone was bustling around, and I can understand why this place is popular after trying the food. Service was impeccable. Server was familiar with the menu, gave superb recommendations and was always around to make sure we are well taken care of. There were 4 of us dining together and all of us ordered the lobster bisque as our appetizer. Everyone was praising how good and creamy it was. A must-try. I ordered the special for the day which is grilled sea bass topped with shrimps and crabmeat, finished with a cream sauce. The Seabass was extremely fresh, grilled to perfection. The whole dish came together very well, beautifully cooked. One of us ordered the crab cakes and it was filled with fresh tender crab meat in every bite. Another awesome dish. Overall a pleasant dining experience. Would love to eat there again if I'm in Nashville!

This is hands-down my favorite restaurant of all time. I usually make it a point to go to a location at least once a year. I'm a very picky eater but this does not hinter my dining experience at The Palm in the least. They are very accommodating and rarely mess up an order. My suggestion? "Donuts in a bag" is the way to go for desert. Trust me...

The Palm in Nashville is a high end chain. I went there for a celebratory dinner for whatever. My girlfriend and I split the lobster special which was a 4lb lobster for 2. It was good. Some sides which the table shared were Brussels sprouts, fried asparagus and some kind of potato chips. The asparagus and chips were supposed to be Palm favorite and they kind of sucked. The sprouts were surprisingly tasty. I hate to admit that because I always resist ordering them. My girlfriend loves them. I'm not a huge fan of chains, so I'm biased against the Palm from jump street. But still, comparing apples to apples in Nashville. The Palm is still a 3/5. The atmosphere is kind of swanky. I think the celebrity caricatures on the walls are cheesy. I'll hand it to there service. The wait staff was on point. So was our bartender while we were waiting on our table. GF Quote: "Overrated, underwhelming. Perfect for out-of-towners"

Would highly recommend NOT eating here! I ordered a 14 dollar lobster bisque and as you can see from the styrofoam cup it was half filled and had no pieces of lobster in it. Ceaser salad cost 13 dollars and that was small and very undesirable. RIP OFF

ok; great location; valet and you get seats fast place is old world but a little dated, wallpaper nostalgic yes, but everywhere...?too much service was far from good, waiter seemed like he was selling more drinks , and we just dont drink a lot... double lobster was good, but overpriced, and scotia lobster was ok, a little overcooked/boiled wine list, very overpriced dessert didnt try so overall, IMHO, its not worth the hype or the price and ive been to many real nice places

Renae V.

Expensive. Mediocre food. Good service. Ordered their Veal Martini which is a signature item. Nothing to write home about and most certainly not worth $35. Husband ordered the sesame crusted ahi and it came out cold, strike one, and had no flavor whatsoever, strike two. They replaced it with the Chilean Seabass, which wasn't much better. It was over cooked and rubbery also lacking flavor for a $40 dish. Best part if the meal was the Jack and Ginger I ordered for my drink at $10.50 a glass. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy fine dining and don't mind spending money for a dining "experience" with excellent food, great service, and awesome atmosphere but this place fell flat. To be fair, the manager comped my husband's meal and it really hate when that happens because I'd rather enjoy my meal than get a free one but the evening overall was enjoyable. Our server was good. Good, not great. This place could use an upgrade, figuratively speaking. Great location. Great opportunity for awesomeness. Not so much. I've been here several times and every time I leave feeling the same way. Overall, I would say, ehhhhh...ok.

Was in here on Sunday night while I was in town to visit friends. I have been to the Palm many times in the LA area where I live and it never fails to disappoint. I had the Bone in Rib Eye and the Lobster and it was fantastic. There was only minor issue which was one member of my party had some issues with her steak. It came out cooked improperly twice, but they did get it spot on the third try. This would normally be a pretty annoying situation but what made it a non-issue was the service. Our server Daniel was one of the best servers I have ever come across. He was incredibly pleasant and patient throughout the whole issue and seemed rather embarrassed, but he handled it the best way possible. He comped the steak as well as deserts for every person at our table. He was such a great guy that we did not even get bothered in the slightest by it. The Palm is an institution and there is a reason for that, because they employ servers like Daniel.

The palm has a noisy ambience and energy about it. It is a chain, but we felt very well taken care of. The bill was expensive, and we weren't drinking. If you're going to go to a chain, I'd probably stick with Ruth's Chris or Mortons. The palm isn't bad, its just not as good.

When going to The Palm, one should expect superior food and service. We went on a slower night and chose to split the 14oz Strip and order of fries. Not too original, granted, but we wanted simple. The steak was cooked to perfect temperature (medium-rare) and seasoned to perfection. The idea that fries are fries is silly...they truly are so tasty! If I'm grading on food, I'd give 5 stars. The service, for this higher-end restaurant was silly. Again, we ate at the bar and it was a slow night. The two bartenders were completely disinterested in our presence. That, coupled with a purse, a drink (being drunk by one of them), makeup case, cellphone and other personal effects on the back of the bar was just classless. One expects this out of a Ruby Tuesday or Applebee's, but part of going to The Palm is the experience...which lacked greatly.

I couldn't remember if I had been to this place or not. (Not memorable, perhaps?) But it was a surprise dinner on my birthday, and destined to be a good time. I was saddened when our party was seated in such a tight space in the middle of a VERY LOUD dining room. Being literally half deaf, this was challenging for me. I quickly realized the other members of my party were equally saddened since they had apparently noted it was a birthday celebration when making the reservation. Oh well...let's drink! Despite the many wine options, I went to one of my staples - Stemmari (which is a Sicilian pinot noir that tastes good with everything in my opinion). Our server (or servers? Who knows...there were lots of people that surrounded our table at the most random times) quickly served up a basket of bready goodness. A "Lobster dinner for Two" special was offered, and if this place is as good as it boasts it is, then their lobster should satisfy this coastal gal, right? Right. To start, my lobster partner and I chose a caesar salad and a watermelon and mozzarella salad. The latter was definitely not my favorite, but the caesar didn't suck since it wasn't drenched in dressing. I chose green beans with pine nuts, pepper, and pancetta, and the goat cheese whipped potatoes as my side choices. Both were pretty good. I would only wish for the potatoes to have a bit more flavor. The lobster was presented in a beautiful fashion, and the woman serving it (note she not our main server, but one of the random people to appear) seemed to be actually enjoying her job at that moment in time. It tasted good. Not bad, not great, just good. During my meal, one of the servers kept trying to remove the basket containing the remaining breads I had not yet consumed. My little, partially-Italian self became very frustrated at these attempts, and finally blurted out with a smile, "Perhaps I would like to take this home with me? I mean, c'mon, it's great bread!". The server seemed disgusted at such notion in his fine dining establishment. *rolls eyes* Whatever dude. We're paying for this, box it up already. I'm not sure what The Palm wants to be. Marketed as a fine dining establishment, I feel they really lack the ambiance (poor decor and poor acoustics), and quality of goods for the price to reach this level. Maybe five or more years ago they were there, but in Nashville's recent culinary explosion, they are far from hitting the mark. Additionally, we felt pushed to join their exclusive dining club for mucho dinero per year. But after that dining experience, it's not a club I wish to be a part of.

This restaurant is just wonderful, I've been on three occasions and each have been lovely! Waiters are always polite, have excellent wine suggestions and go above and beyond to make the dinning experience perfect for each party. My fiance and i would recommend it to anyone, for lunch of dinner. Just remember: the place is highly coveted, so make a reservation beforehand!

Ok so you think when you go to places like the Palm your getting high end not anymore .. Staff was amazing in Nashville but food too salty and when we went to order another item at 10:44 we were told kitchen was closed even tho open til 11 Uh? Then ten mins later watched food go by us .. When asked we were told they don't like OT in kitchen umm it says your open til 11 your team should take tickets till 10:59 otherwise close at 10:30 not the place it use to be ..

We had not heard of The Palm since we are from out of town. The streets of Nashville were packed as the weekend had many events going on. Hotels were booked up and charging $700 for rooms downtown. INSANE! (We stayed out by the airport for $120). Walked around trying to find something within walking distance to Bridgestone, but did not want just bar food. Ended up in the line waiting for The Palm to open. Found out it was seating by reservations, but we managed to get one of the 3 high top tables in the bar without reservation. The place was too quiet..no music. As the hour went by and the place filled up with people, it became tooooo noisy and crowded. Some people stood hovering by our table making us feel rushed as we ate, because they wanted our table. The price of the food is RIDICULOUS! I have swallowing problems and the only thing I was able to order was a side of mashed potatoes and a side of brussel sprouts. They were $8.50 a piece! The potatoes were very bland. The brussel sprouts, while having good flavor, got thrown away after leaving there. I could not eat them because they were not cooked soft enough (even though I requested that they make them extra soft). My husband ordered the veal parmigiana which came out as a huge piece of pounded meat with runny sauce. The flavor was good, but no way was it worth $35 ! Everything is served ala carte, and that $35 plate of veal did not even come with a bed of pasta or a simple salad. My husband ordered a side of linguine for an additional $10. I had a soda. My husband had a few beers. The total bill was $112 !!!! And I left hungry... :-( I will say the only thing going for this place is that the staff was extremely friendly. The servers have to be making a killing on tips, which is why they work there, I am sure. We will not be going back here. Way overpriced for a place where all customers were wearing jeans, not enough selection on the menu. No sides included in the meal, and overall, a very boring, dark, atmosphere.

Service, Service, Service. The Service here alone gets it 4 stars. Came here before a concert at the Bridgestone and the place was packed. Great place for a special dining experience of the high end night out. Despite there not being an open seat anywhere after we sat down (thank god for reservations) the server was exceedingly calm, attentive, helpful and polite. The guy must have been related to the energizer bunny because not a single table he was responsible for was left in need of anything. To top it off at the end of the meal the restaurant held on to our leftovers in their fridge for pick up after the show! That was awesome. The reason they failed to achieve that fifth start is due to the all important quality to price ratio of the food they serve. The food is really expensive and the quality is good but without the service it definitely does not live up to the price tag. I ordered the steak burger just because that was what I really was craving at the time. For the prices they are charging there should be no question that when you order a medium burger that it will come out very well done and dry. The creamed spinach I got as a side was phenomenal but the onion rings and fried chips were ok. Tended to be very greasy. In short: Service AMAZING, food ok, price expensive. The decor also leaves something to be desired. You'd think a high end place could figure out something better than caricatures to have on the walls.

Went to The Palm Restaurant as part of a good sized private function, so we had a limited menu to choose from. That being said, the food we had was great - from appetizers to entrees to dessert. Portions are the humongous size you expect from a classic steakhouse - my chicken parm (which is a signature dish for them, and I can see why) took up the entire 12 inch plate. Service is also exceptional - even though it was a rowdy bunch, the servers kept up with us and was even able to keep us entertained with some singing and dancing! It is, of course, obscenely expensive. I don't know if I would choose to go there if I was paying myself, and I'm guessing that is the situation with many people who eat there - it is a classic expense account/corporate card type of restaurant.

Robert K.

Service is unreal - as in very good. These guys are pros and I have nothing but great things to say about my server. The food is good, but that's just it; I can get good food anywhere. It just did not live up to the price tags. We paid $152 a person for a 7 person table (we got a few drinks) Lobster bisque is worth getting and service is top notch, everything else was uninspired - very underwhelming. Go for the bisque and eat a meal elsewhere.

Dan T.

For a $15 burger, I expect more. If you ask if I want it medium, serve it medium. Mine was pretty well done. It was still a decent burger, but it's $15. For under $10, I'd be more generous. The host was awesome, and fun to talk with. But, if you want to charge $15 for a burger, you must deliver.

It simply gets no better than the Palm. From the moment you walk in the door, you know you've reached a sanctuary amidst the very 'energetic' downtown. The staff is like no other restaurant staff anywhere; friendly, most helpful, engaging and hard working. You can count on the consistency of the great food. Whether you go to see or be seen, the Palm will not disappoint.

Greg H.

A classic. Whether NYC, Dallas, Atlanta...or Nashville, the Palm Restaurant delivers. The bone-in filet is awesome. The creamed spinach would make the chef at Capital Grille salivate. My one complaint: A bartender that can't make one of America's classic cocktails? A Sazerac? And in The South of all places! Really!?! He didn't even have a rye whiskey or Absinthe.

Its a chain so what do you expect. Came here for a work function and each needed separate checks to expense. well they did not want to do that. lobster bisque was awful! was so far from the description on the menu, that i actually thought they had brought me the wrong soup! entrees and sides were ok but nothing special at all. will be avoiding this place in the future.

We have eaten at The Palm in NYC & Chicago, Nashville did not disappoint. We knew what to expect (price wise). High quality food and a professional staff. My husband had the lobster bisque & sea bass special. I had the surf & turf (filet). Everything was prepared to perfection. Cream brÃ»lÃ©e was the perfect finishing touch. Thank you Cliftus (our waiter) and Mack for taking care of us.

Marcia M.

Wow. If you were able to look up the definition of " Immaculate Customer Service", my last server at The Palm's headshot should be there. Forgive me (I blame the several glasses of wine) for not remembering his name but this twinkly eyed, witty, older gent was 5 stars from beginning to finish. His demeanor made dinner fun and his thoughtful suggestions (even for a vegan like me!) were appreciated. I'd come back just to have him entertain! We had a post shoot dinner/celebration here and had such a lovely time. I ordered primarily vegetable side items because the entrees were literally blanketed with meat and seafood options. My sides and salad were great but I'd definitely loved to see a veg-friendly entree? Prices aren't inexpensive so I was happy that I wasn't footing the tab but I have confirmed that The Palm is launching some Prix-fixe menu options in our near future. Yelp365 - #4

On a recent trip to Nashville my colleagues decided to make dinner reservations here. I'm very familiar with their restaurant in Vegas and knew that the quality of the food and service was excellent so I agreed to come with them. I'm glad I did. There was a concert across the street that evening, so the place was packed. Luckily, we had reservations, so we were seated promptly. Hungry for some Steak, I ordered the 9 oz Filet, $44.90 with a side of Three Cheese Potatoes Au Gratin, $7.90. The food and service was excellent. Exactly as I would expect from a Palm Restaurant. Next time I'm in Nashville, I will definitely return. Return Factor - 90%

F THAT!!! Okay, I have drank in the largest cities in the country, coast to coast, and never, I repeat never, have I ever been charged tax, "on the outside." The bartender's words, not mine. What does that mean? I'll break it down nice and simple. I purchased a Ketel martini and I was charged $14 for the drink. THEN, I was charged $3.40 in tax. So in total, I drank a $17.40 martini. $17 DOLLARS!!!!!! I could have gone to the store and bought 4 airplane bottles and made 4 martinis for that price. In conclusion, if you are going to quote charge tax "on the outside" then make the drinks reasonable. This was highway robbery. I will not be back. EVER. You were warned Yelpers.

I ate here with a large group for a business dinner. I was skeptical when I was told that this is where we would dine since we have The Palm in Dallas in a touristy area and with so many great steakhouses in Dallas, I have never eaten at The Palm. I very much enjoyed all the food I ate. I started with the Lobster Bisque and the person next to me shared a bit of his wedge salad and crab cake with me. Yum! I ordered the filet for my entree and it was cooked perfectly to my medium request. Very tender. I then had the flour less chocolate cake for dessert and that was yummy as well. So I would give a solid 4 stars for the food but my 3 stars is due to the atmosphere. It was very, very loud in the dining area so not a place for quiet conversation. But since we were dining in a large group, I guess that was okay. The celebrity caricatures all over the walls are tacky.

Simply delicious .. We had the filet mignon and the 24 oz ribeye and they were cooked to absolute perfection . Super happy tonight. The mashed potatoes were a little bit bland but still very good . Will come again

I just walked in and sat at the bar, Wayne was my host and he did a great job. A bowl of Lobster Bisque followed by a 9oz Filet done Pittsburgh topped with Oscar sauce was so good that I wished I had ordered the larger portion. A couple of pieces of bread and I was good to go. Always pretty great food and always exciting patrons found in the bar and restaurant make it a great time....

I attended a large group dinner at the Palm this week and thoroughly enjoyed myself! Same consistent decor and environment as other Palms I have been to, excellent, quick service (especially for such a large group) and delicious food! I think I licked the lobster bisque bowl clean...it was so good! I shared 1/2 a filet and 1/2 of the shrimp linguine with one of my coworkers - what a nice combo! We also shared the flourless chocolate cake and the NY style cheesecake - both were sinfully delicious! I highly recommend this place for a business dinner...you won't be disappointed!

A good steak, with no great peculiarities but solidly prepared. Reasonable service. The place itself is very standard to my eyes, but if you like traditional steakhouses, you'll like this place.

This is a great restaurant for the food! In fact, the food is fantastic. I had the filet mignon and was very satisfied. The ambiance of this venue is open and rustic. If you like a cozy atmosphere, this is the place! If you are planning to have a quiet conversation with your business associates, date, or family, you will be disappointed. The noise level is LOUD! If you're like me, however, and eat like a hog at the trough and just smile and nod when someone talks to you, you will do just fine at this place!

Was in Nashville last week from MD, had a very mediocre meal! Steak & vegetables were barely warm, even the dessert was tasteless, very expensive for what you receive, maybe just a bad night! Wouldn't return to a Palm restaurant in either city!!

I love steak houses and this was the complete opposite experience. We asked to change from a booth to a table where a party of 6 can converse. The manager was such a prick about the change it was embarrassing. I may be picky but if a party is going to spend what it costs to eat there frankly you should feel good about the experience. Can't comment about the food because we left.

I find the service and food at The Palm to be exceptional. Not only are they always accommodating but the bartender their, Wayne, always remembers me by name and makes me feel like home. The food is a little pricey but it is worth it. Thank you for a great experience.

Decided to go to The Palm with some girlfriends before the Justin Timberlake concert. Service was mediocre. Didn't have ingredients for not 1 but 2 of the specialty drinks I tried to order from their menu. Steak was good but not worth the cost. I expected so much more for the expense! Atmosphere was loud and bar-like - NOT fine dining. I could have saved the money and went anywhere else on Broadway and had the same experience yelling at my table mates over the noise. The thing that put it over the top? They ran out of toilet paper in the ladies room - in every single stall. I would expect that in a BAR but NOT here! Such a disappointment.

Went here for a work dinner. The Caesar salad was drowning in dressing. I had the rib eye and it was by far the toughest and most full of gristle that I've ever had for that cut. It was pretty bland too. They basically just cooked it and plated it. I have had way better steaks at far less expensive restaurants. I don't remember all the sides we had but they were pretty bland and uninspired too. Seems like they are rolling with same menu and recipes since the 70's. It's a swanky place for a business meeting but I would never spend my own money here.

I guess I just don't get The Palm. I've heard so many big things and people say that dinner comes with a hefty price tag but it's worth it. They were right about the price tag part. For killer food and experience I'm OK dropping some money. But when the food is just middle of the line and I'm paying $30 per plate, I get cranky. My mom and I ate here before the symphony one night, and what put me off at first was the decor. For a white tablecloth place, I didn't get the weird caricature wallpaper. How is that classy? The staff was fine and got us out the door in time for the concert, so I have to give them credit for that, but it also took them forever to get our drink and food order. I guess everyone was in a rush for the symphony that night, but it's not the experience you want when you are paying top dollar. Onto the food: we both had fish, and mine was average. Very buttery and salty and while I love the unhealthy twins on the right thing, I expect more flavor from a high end restaurant. My mom's fish was excellent, but still had lots of butter and salt, and once the bill came we both gasped. 1 round of drinks plus 2 entrees and 2 sides was almost $200. Ouch. And I'd gladly pay it for a high end meal, but I didn't feel The Palm gave me the quality of food that merits a tab that high.

Pathetic!!! We had Reservations 8 months in advance for Justin Timberlake concert....they wouldn't accommodate all of us at the same table! When we did get seated we waited 30 minutes for a drink and an hour and half for dinner!!! The steak was not cooked the way we ordered it either! Save your money and go somewhere else!!! Rude!!!!!

My husband & I decided to celebrate our Valentine's day by having dinner at The Palm. We both had a great time! We had a reservation for 10pm, but got there a little early. Since they were not ready to seat us just yet, we went to the bar to hang out and get drinks. The bar staff was really nice and pleasant. It was not long before, they came to find us at the bar to seat us. We ended up being seated in Gary Yanceys' (trying to remember spelling on jacket ) section and he made sure we had a great evening. He was really accommodating making sure we were well taken care of. I had the crab cakes which were delicious!!! If you need a pic to help you visualize the yummy crab cakes I have loaded a pic. One of the Crab cakes was gone by the time I decided to take the pic. So what does that tell you! ; ) My husband had ribeye and although, it was supposed to come with scallops he asked to have them substituted with shrimp instead. And our waiter did what he could to make sure that my hubby would enjoy his meal. The whole meal was just full of flavor from start to finish. The She-Crab soup (could be spelled wrong) was absolutely delicious!!! Make sure if you go to try the crab cakes, and the soup if it is available. I think the soup was more a soup of the day option, but it is worth asking for! Overall, our experience was Superb from beginning to end!

A fun place with great service. The only thing they could improve on would be the dry cold bread served with hard cold butter. The waitress was kind enough to warm both for us, although it didn't to do much to improve on the oddly spiced (nutmeg?) rolls, dry sliced Pumpernickel?, and the dense dry jalapeÃ±o cheese cornbread. This is a very expensive restaurant and for the price they should have excellent bread to serve their patrons. On a positive note, we all enjoyed the 3 Cheese Scalloped Potatoes, the Mushrooms, Brussels Sprouts, and our steaks. The Russian and Buttermilk Dressings were delish!

Jeremy E.

How this place doesn't have 4.5-5 stars tells me there are some cheap asses who go here and complain about price, because the food, service, and drinks are all 10/10. We had Dean as a server, and he and the helper were un-freaking-believable. I have the highest of expectations for service, and this was impecable. Truly amazing. Food was also phenomenal. The filet was top 2 in Nashville (KP wagyu is still #1). Wine list is probably the best in Nashville. If you are ok with spending $100 a head for an amazing experience, go and go now. This spot is better than Morton's, Ruth's, Cap Grille, really anywhere in Nashville other than Kayne Prime, and it's on their level.

Went to the Palm for my wife and I's 1 year anny. Have to say it was definitely overpriced, not a romantic atmosphere, and the waiters did nothing to go out of there way for our special dinner. Will not go back and will not recommend. Way more romantic places in nashville if you are looking for higher end pricing like this. Very dissapointing

Reed A.

We came in for dinner and my husband ordered chicken parm. He was a little confused that it didn't come w pasta and ordered some. He is heavily tattooed by the way. Upon leaving, the manager asked stopped by to check w our server to make sure we paid!?! I guess he thought we couldn't hear him as we were headed towards the door. How rude! We won't be back.

Today I was there for the functional equivalent of a business lunch. It is a reasonably attractive place. Service was above average. I had what they describe as a power lunch which is I recall was about $25. This is the multicourse meal which includes a simple salad, an entrÃ©e, and dessert. I had lobster bisque and that was creamy and somewhat acidic. For the entrÃ©e I had two very good fish. And for dessert it was chocolate cake. Overall, it was a good meal that I enjoyed. What made it good or better was the individual who shared this lunch. This restaurant is on the pricey side. It is certainly not a place that I would inhabit as a regular consumer. Since this was a special occasion, it was okay. It is the place that strives for 4 to 5 stars from what I felt. But my sense of my entire experience simply does not gear me to rating this place at that level. As viewed from the totality of my culinary experience I would simply not reach that level. I would go back there and try some other items but I don't think I'm going to have a chance because I am from out of town. That is unfortunate. This restaurant is part of a chain. And I have eaten at their Boston place. I recall that my Boston experience was someone better than my Nashville experience. As I was reading some comments I noticed that certain individuals compared this place to Wharton school. In my view having been to both, this place does not even closely match Morton's. Morton's has it's problems as I said in my review but overall it is far superior to this restaurant.

Last year while enjoying some great wines at the bar, the bartender sold me on the idea of the 837 Club and I joined. If I remember correctly, you pay $25.00 to join and get a $25.00 Gift certificate, also each visit you get points towards Trade Value for $$$'s spent and on your Birthday you get a Free 3 Pound Lobster Dinner. Sure enough, in the mail I received the Certificate for my 3 Pound Lobster Birthday Dinner. Last night I collected that Birthday Dinner, what a Lobster, what a Dinner and the Celebration was a very memorable one. Thanks to the 837 Club & The Palm Steakhouse.

Noelle T.

The service at the Palm is unbelievable. They really know how to make a girl feel special and the free valet is a nice touch BUT the food is just okay to me. I've been a couple times and tried the calamari, the lobster bisque, filet mignon, and a few desserts but it all seems a little under seasoned to me. It's just not my taste.
(3)
Jack K.

Food is very good at the Palm, but is best suited for those on an expense account. It is very expensive. I had a special which was a boneless ribeye with three grilled scallops. It was extremely good, but the ribeye had a little more fat than I expected. My wife ordered lobster tail, which was very fresh. Very good food, but very expensive. Two entrees, two appetizers, one side and two drinks over $200.

I'm a fan, for sure. First of all, I'm a New Yorker and I miss New York, so a classic steakhouse is exactly what I need to cure the homesickness. I've read some reviewers who say they don't quite understand the wall drawings- part of the charm of a classic NY steakhouse or bar is the goofy or unique wall art, to include caricactures of local or famous personalities or epic murals. (Check out Bemelmans in the Carlyle Hotel in NYC, the wall murals are done by Ludwig Bemelman, who wrote and illustrated the Madeline childrens' books. Murals on 54 Steakhouse, the King Cole Bar at the St Regis or the original Palm on 2nd Ave are also notable. New Yorkers are nothing if not loyal to our history. I digress.) I like sitting at the bar and ordering a few appetizers and drinks with friends, it's the best way to enjoy the ambience and not bankrupt ourselves. Random conversations are always better at the bar. As mentioned in several other reviews, the service is outstanding and the food is pretty good as well. They also have a great selection of liquors- to include whiskey (so, Tennessee is a great place to be if I can't be home). I am not a fan of celebrity stalking, but I've been here late after a show at the Ryman and seen some classic country music personalities, not exactly folks you'd see on TMZ, but nice to know that it's got the stamp of approval from Nashville royalty. Great spot, do check it out!

My husband and I were so excited to go to this restaurant. Our experience was beyond dismal. Our server Rex didn't give descriptions regarding any specials, however the server at the next table gave impeccable descriptions of their specials, so much better that we would have ordered differently. The shrimp on my salad was fishy. The asparagus was limp and unseasoned. The $50 filet was undercooked and chewy. My husband even ordered a glass of wine which he was given the choice of 9oz or 6oz. He chose the 9oz. Our server brought him the 6oz and said "I just brought you the 6oz instead". No apologies whatsoever. Horrible experience if you have this server! Don't waste $200 like we did!

If you are looking for a cheap Resturant do not go here. If you are looking for top quality food with service 2nd to none then this is the best place to go. Went here twice in three days because could not beat the food. The food is ale carte thus expect to pay out the nose, but is worth it if you are looking for a top quality meal. Had the shark and surf and turf. the lobster was one of the best I ever had while the filet was a little dry and tasteless (just being honest). Overall...will be back.

Meg P.

where do i begin? from the lobster soup and Caesar salad to the lobster dinner and goat cheese mashed potatoes to the creme brÃ»lÃ©e and fantastic selection of mixed drinks it is hard to pick a favorite. my husband and I stayed past closing and didnt feel rushed for a moment. our waiter was very entertaining and knowledgable. there is a reason this restaurant has such a great reputation and that is no matter what location you go to your food and service will be superb.

I've come here many times after Nashville Predators (our hockey team) games as its right across the street from Bridgestone Arena. It's always after 9pm so once again I will start off by saying that I've never been here during normal dinner hours nor had the tradtional dinner experience. My times at the Palm have been late night weeknights, where they have special late-night appetizers and discounted cocktails. And truthfully, this is fine with me. I don't need the full and normal experience because I have something perfect right here, a niche filled, with their Prime Bites menu. Delicious little finger foods that pack more of a punch to your appetite that are inexpensive late night and yummy. I am all about the lobster sliders and oysters on the half shell. The cocktails are perfect (though its hard to screw up basic martinis and one-the-rocks bourbon...if you do I am never coming back and I am telling all my friends to never go!) and the service here has always been great, even when swamped with drunken hockey fans (myself included here). The weird caricature paintings on the walls are a little off-putting, not as fitting with the good food and atmosphere of the place, but I guess its supposed to be kitschy perhaps? I don't like it, but it won't keep me from stopping by for the food.

Mary C.

Although our waiter was very pleasant, the food we all (4 of us) thought it wasn't the best and overpriced. We had to send one of the steaks back since it was too tough but the next one wasn't much different. Very dry and very little flavor. portions smaller than expected. We would not go back.
(1)
Matt F.

Sea bass was soaked in an overwhelming mustardy/horseradish sauce. Petite filet was overcooked (asked for med rare, got med well). It was an ok cut, but I've had much, much better. Sides were ok, nothing special. Lobster bisque was meh. Overall, an average meal at best for any price point. There are a number of much better, much more unique places within a short walk or drive from the Palm.

Jon H.

This is a Great restaurant! I would have easily rated this a 5-Star except for the price. If you are prepared to spend $100 per person with limited drinks then this is your place. Steak (excellent), soup (excellent), sides (excellent), mixed drink (perfect). The service was also very professional and excellent! We will dine here again.

Went here for my wife's birthday last night and this is the 1st time in this Palm since relo'ing to Nashville. I normally do quite a bit of business with Palm restaurants and other cities for conferences and formal dinners. This Palm is no different than any of them if you've experienced in the other cities. I got off the steak wagon and went with the veal parmesan and it was excellent. Other members of our party had steak all were finely prepared along with the sides. Did get to meet the general manager Bryan Lytle transferred in from LA, spent a little time with him he's a great operator! I would highly encourage The Palm if you're out looking for a good high-end steak restaurant and need consistency in service and food during entertaining or for special event.
(4)
Chuck P.

Great food, great service, even on a really busy night. Always make a reservation as this place is busy even on week nights. The free Valet service is a bonus as well. Prepare to spend a bit as it is pretty pricey. A couple going out without drinks is gonna run you 200.00

Another beautiful time at the Palm. We had perfectly prepared fillet and lobster. Joe Bob says check it out when you have some spare coin

Michael S.

A group of ten of us ate there the other night. Someone ordered "appetizers for the table". The waiter saw his opening and brought out enough appetizers to feed 40 people. The amount of waste was disgusting, to say nothing of the ripoff.

Galen K.

Went last Saturday night. Walked right in no reservation needed. I ordered 14oz fillet medium well. Came back much too rare. Sent back then was excellent fantastic mushrooms. Had large order of cheesy Augrautin potatoes very good but small order would have been enough for two. Wife had veal Marsala was excellent. Quantity and quality of mushrooms was over the top. Drinks were more pricey than normal. We will go back. Service was very good waiter had excellent singing voice
(4)
Rose M.

We used to go to Mortons on our annual trip to Nashville, and while Mortons was very disappointing, this place did everything right. The fillets were cooked to perfection, the sides were very good and we left as very satisfied customers! I would highly recommend this place!
(5)
Kate M.

This restaurant was pretty standard American fare but at exorbitant prices. Come hungry, because the portions are huge (bread, appetizer, a la cart entree with sides to order, and dessert). The food was very good, but it might be more worth it to go for lunch than for dinner. Everything was very high quality, very standard options. Other steakhouses in Nashville might have a more unique vibe, creative menus, and better service for the cost. Could be good for business meetings or a special date night.

I want to start out by saying I'm from Southern California and have never heard of this restaurant , the friend I was traveling with saw it on our walk this am and said this is a must eatery!! I made reservations showed up and was greeted and seated promptly our waitresses name was Rebecca and she was AMAZING!! attentive to our every need!! I would give her a 10 RATING!! needless to say I will have to visit this restaurant in my future travels!! Gina B.
(5)
Bilinda B.

Our server, Rebecca, was amazing. She was so sweet and helpful! The food was crazy good, and the 4 pound lobster is unparalleled in size and taste! I had the fillet minion which was cooked perfectly and very tasty. Over all the service is amazing and the food is awesome. Pretty pricy but hey, that's what you get when you expect a good surf and turf. Will definitely be back!
(5)
Ali S.

The Palms has a more chain vibe to it but overall I enjoyed my meal. It's in a great location close to the Hilton hotel. I got the 14 ounce filet , crab cakes with creamy potatoes. The filet was cooked perfectly and tasted excellent. Crab cakes were not the best but they were good. Good food, great crowd, and great location are reasons to check this place out!

Lily B.

This restaurant is amazing! The cocktails were perfect and hit the spot after a hot day. Following the cocktails was an amazing steak. The service was impeccable. Everything about this place says, relax and enjoy a fabulous dinner. So we did. :)

Worst lunch ever! I have been to The Palm about 20 times in LA and Nashville and this was the worst meal I've ever had there. Generally the food is slightly above average (stick with the steaks and hamburgers). This time I ordered the lobster salad. The lobster was tough, overcooked and tasteless (probably leftover from the previous day). And the dressing was pulverized onion with vinaigrette that was so powerful that I am still tasting it two days later. I only went because a client wanted to meet there. Never again. Nashville now has a dozen great downtown restaurants that out distance The Palm by miles.

Decius A.

Very loud! That was the biggest problem with this restaurant, other diners were being so loud and obnoxious it really ruined the entire experience. My wife said she felt like she was in a bar. People were actually going "woooo!" and not just once, but repeatedly. I could barely hear my wife and she was across the table from me. It was loud enough to be actually painful. The service was pretty good, although the server did neglect to ask me if I wanted any sauce on my steak. The food was decent. I had the mixed green salad and the filet mignon, and my wife had the lobster bisque and the steak. The salad was what I expected. In fact I'm glad I ordered the smaller portion of salad, given how generous the salad I received was. The steak was tasty and flavorful without additional sauce. The problem is that both my wife and I asked for our steaks medium rare. Mine was medium rare. Hers was very rare, to the point of being blue in the center. Hers also had not been properly cleaned as it contained some extra gristle or tendon. I know steakhouses can be busy, but given that we ordered the same thing at the same time, getting one of them wrong is not acceptable. Frankly, the steak was exactly what I'd expect from Outback Steakhouse, and Outback charges a heck of a lot less and includes a salad and side. Our bill was $179 before the tip, and we just had one appetizer, the steak, and a dessert each with no side dishes. I would only go here if you want to say you've dined at The Palm. And if you want to dine at The Palm, you're better of going to the one in New York. This one isn't worth the expense. There are better steakhouses. Why not try the Capitol Grille instead? It costs just as much.
(2)
Robert S.

What a great dining experience! The appetizer plate consisting of oysters, shrimp and lump crabmeat was fresh and delicious. As for the entrÃ©es, our party of six each had something different and everyone raves about each. The sides of asparagus, spinach and lobster mac n cheese were just as good. The service was top notch as well. If in downtown Nashville and want to splurge, go to the Palm.
(5)
Fred P.

I'm not going to lie, going to the Palm is all about saying you went to the Palm. The food is good, but definitely not commiserate with what you spend. We stopped in after attending Loretta Lynn at the Ryman back in October. The best part of the evening was my wife staring at people with a faint hint of recognition trying to recall their guest appearances on the TV show "Nashville." Food was excellent, the bill was insane, but I'm glad I get to say I've been. And who wouldn't take a picture of 80s bad-boy, William Zabka on the way our the door?
(4)
Rebecca M.

Maybe I am easy to please. Maybe I just like a good steak, green bean and potato dinner. For whatever reason, I really enjoyed my dinner at the Palm. I went with my two best friends and we all ordered the same thing (great minds think alike?) We each ordered a steak, which were all cooked perfectly. We decided to share the green beans and goat cheese mashed potato side dishes. All were delicious. I must put a disclaimer on this visit. We began our meal with cocktails which were pretty heavy hitting. They were perfect and went down a little too smoothly. This may have caused a bit of an overzealous reaction to the food... but who is judging.
