I absolutely loved my experience at The Palm. The service, the hospitality, the music and the vibe overall was just perfect. Their tiramisu is one of the best I’ve ever had in Chicago! 10/10 would go again. ☺️

Service was very good; food was fine, but not extraordinary. Was there early at 5pm so very little crowd. The bar area seemed more busy

The Happy Hour drinks and appetizers were a good value. The wedge salad was excellent with fresh lettuce, lots of blue cheese, delicious dressing, ripe tomatoes, etc. The dinner 8 oz filet was supposed to be medium rare but was overcooked so be sure to ask for medium rare more on the rare side. It made the steak dry. The Duckhorn 2021 cabernet was spectacular.
