Palm Restaurant - TampaSimply the Best in Tampa!!This is by far the best restaurant in Tampa! The Manager, Mark, ensures that this restaurant has the best food and the best service. The wait staff is the friendliest and most attentive that you will find anywhere. This my number 1 recommendation for a good steak and seafood restaurant in Tampa.6/15/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat service. Good food.Service is great. They really go out if their way to make it a great dining experience. It is a little loud. So if you want a quiet or romantic night out, you need to request a booth when you make a reservation. Food is very very good but I wouldn't say excellent. Watermelon capese was amazing. Caesar salad ok. Lobster good. Sides very good. Too full for dessert. Our waiter was wonderful. He remembered us from 6 months ago and treated us like royalty.6/15/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways a favoriteWe went to the Palm for the summer lobster special. It never fails to be absolutely great. It is also a very good value.
Service and food were both excellent.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMThe Palm is a very fine upscaleThe Palm is a very fine upscale restaurant. The bar area is the place to sit with large booths and good service. The food is excellent and the specials are a bargain. Where else can you get a 4 pound lobster for two with two starters and two sides for $79?
What a deal.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMNever fails to please. GreatNever fails to please. Great staff, great food. Treats guests like family. Our favorite place!6/7/2013 12:00:00 AMBig Price but Big RewardWe thoroughly enjoyed our anniversary dinner! Great steak, salad and sides and an amazing level of a pampering by our favorite waiter, Troy. Do yourself a favor and request him next time you need a "Palm fix!"6/7/2013 12:00:00 AMBurger & Martini Lunch on the PatioThis was the first time we ventured outdoors to dine on the patio. A perfect day and a spot-on server who ensured we enjoyed a perfect meal!5/27/2013 12:00:00 AMPalm EnjoymentThe Tampa Palm continues to maintain consistency in terms of food presentation, food quality and service. Attention to detail along with a well paced evening are in store for dining guests.5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMFantastic!Excellent food and service! The steaks are perfect.5/22/2013 12:00:00 AMSuper Sous-ChefWent to the Tampa Palm for Mothers' Day and had the best linguine with white claim sauce in years! I asked who prepared it and they told me that their sous-chef had made it for me. That was it! I returned a couple of weeks later for my birthday meal and she once again prepared a perfect dish of linguine for me. I followed it with a super surf & turf - half a perfectly tender Nova Scotia lobster and an English cut (thin and boneless) cut of prime rib - - - perfection! I am very glad to see that the Tampa edition has now hired a sous-chef who is loaded with culinary talent that is on display every day - thank you!
Highly recommended!5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMMarvelous Business LunchMr. Colbath, the GM, is very hospitable and genuine. As a female hosting business meals, he makes the servers understand that I am the host and not my male counterpart. Special requests are no problem to any one at The Palm Tampa. The menu appears limited but on a closer look covers any dining request. The three course business lunch is exceptional and the lunch combinations are very welcome.5/14/2013 12:00:00 AMMother's day dinnerOveral it was an good expereince. The service is good the only complaint is that they did nto allow to order from the lunch menu. The food was excxellent.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMTasty but SquishedFood was excellent but we were squished in like sardines. This was difficult since I had an elderly woman with me. However the wine list was very good and I could not say enough about the steak and mushrooms.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat experienceHad a nice mom's day afternoon. Food was good, service was very nice, atmosphere was very pleasant. The only area of improvement I can think of is food quality for price. Other restaurants comparable in price have a better food quality. If I were to do over, I may select a different restaurant. Other places just do food better. Service was very goo though, which made the food a little better.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMPalm Perfect SundayTook my mother to The Palm on Mother's Day. It was simply put PERFECT!! Food, Service, Staff, Ambiance was all 5 Stars!!!! Our waiter was Hugo and he went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of! The manager Mark and Paulo also stopped by to check on us. The Palm still believes in Exceptional Customer Service and Food and it showed during our dinning experience. It was the best Mother's Day meal my family has had! Looking forward to a return visit in the near future!!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat pre-Mothers Day DinnerAs our first visit to the Palm, we chose them upon recommendation from a friend, and I was pretty impressed. It was probably about 1 full star higher than my normal restaurant visits, and that may make me somewhat easily impressed, but still, I had a great steak, and I thought our server was exceptional as was the rest of the serving staff. We were there earlier in the evening, as we had plans for later, so it wasn't in the middle of the dining evening, but I was still thoroughly satisfied. I don't think that I could afford to eat there all the time, but I think I will have to work it into the rotation of special event visits. I will be visiting there again when I can.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMWas looking for wow factorTook my son for a very special dinner, and we were not disappointed. Service was exceptional, food was fantastic, and the evening was spectacular. Looking forward to our next visit.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMService, food, and price great.Service, food, and price great. After we ate there, I did compare. It is a very good deal for the money. Good food and the best service.

great food and wine
should go more often
even though it is a 50 minute drive from home4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMLOBSTER RIP OFF!We always enjoy going to The Palm and usually visit going to or coming from the airport. I used to live in NYC and have fond memories of the original...BUT, this is the first time I have ordered a lobster at the Tampa location. The menu described it as a 3 lb lobster, the waiter described it as a 3 lb lobster, IT WASN'T! ...We are from Maine and still summer there. We know lobsters!...The lobster I was served, nicely prepared and served, may have been 2 lbs but not one ounce more. For $78 it was a ripoff!4/15/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways consistent: greatAlways consistent: great Caesar with delicious blackened chicken; Lobster salad $19 but awesome with enough extra lobster to take home and make an omelette! Great lunchtime wine deals.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMconsistent good food quality.consistent good food quality. service pushy for alcohol beverages. wine list overpriced, more than usual multiple of two.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMCan't beat their 3 lb. lobsterCan't beat their 3 lb. lobster dinner. Join the 837 club and get the wine specials. Slower nights are much quitter - Wednesday was perfect.4/3/2013 12:00:00 AMOne of my favorite restaurants.One of my favorite restaurants. Always great food and excellent service.3/25/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat resturant but lacks selectionFood was prepared very well and all the sides the group order were outstanding. Steak selection is a little limited for a place promoting itself as a steakhouse and the cuts were huge. Smallest cut of meat was a 9 oz filet. This is fine, but most other steakhouses in the area (e.g. Bern's or Shula's) over a wide selection of cuts and sizes. If you want a ribeye only selection is 24 oz, etc. so that was a little disappointing. That said, preparation of the steaks the group order was excellent. Fish is really good as well (at least the swordfish). Lacking a notable draft beer selection (only 2), but wine list was descent. Slow night so it was very quiet, but it was surprisingly slow for being St. Patty's day3/17/2013 12:00:00 AMI was hoping for more of aI was hoping for more of a fish selection as it was Friday and Lent. But,with that said, the Shrimp salad was delicious.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food and service was exceptionaThe food and service was exceptional, the restaurant is good for those special occasions for family or business.3/14/2013 12:00:00 AMYou can always count on TheYou can always count on The Palm for good food and great service, no matter what you're in the mood for. Our meals were both prepared to perfection and the green beans were delicious as well. Desserts, while not diet friendly, are worth it--go just for the carrot cake!3/13/2013 12:00:00 AMValentine's Day DinnerWe went to the Palms for the first time to celebrate Valentine's Day. The food was outstanding. It's more of an open room atmosphere which I felt didn't fit the pricing. The service I understand is typically excellent and they have your name in the system so when you are approached by your waitor, they already know your names, however the waitor we happened to have was just O.k. I would definitely go back again as the food was delish.2/16/2013 12:00:00 AMwonderful as always pleasewonderful as always
