About the restaurant

The Palm is renowned for its USDA Prime aged steaks, jumbo Nova Scotia lobsters, authentic Italian dishes, the freshest of seafood, warm smiles, outstanding service, and an atmosphere like nowhere else. The Palm East Hampton, located inside the picturesque Huntting Inn, was the sixth Palm Restaurant to open after the Manhattan original in 1926. The Palm has been located inside the beautiful 300-year-old Country Inn situated on the town's famous Main Street since 1980, and has been an East Hampton tradition ever since.

It’s a great vibe as always. Service was polite but a bit inexperienced: we had to ask to place a drink order , no bread offered and , even after asking both the server & bus person for catchup ( for the hash browns) , neither ever arrived to the table. The drinks were fabulous ( the bartender knows how to make a perfect Gibson) as were the sides. My veal chop was perfectly cooked MW w a good char. My husband ribeye ( boneless) was more sous vide than grilled - cooked to MR but NO char. A bit disappointing but still tender/ delicious. All in all a fun night

Service was excellent and food was superior to last evening as compared to other times. Sushi rolls are a bit small yet specialty rolls were large. Babyback ribs were off the chart, fall off the bone, great sauce and plentiful portion. Server was extremely good!

Pleasant surprise. The food and cocktail were good. Perhaps a little understaffed, but they made it work with a smile - we were not in a rush. Will return for casual evening with friends.
