    I'm giving The Palm 2 stars based on one issue The Bartenders attitude.. I don't think I am misunderstanding and "cultural differences" between The Palm Mexico and ALL the other Palm Restaurants a frequent in Houston, Dallas, Orlando etc. I am what you call a "Road Warrior"... My life consists of traveling out of town and overseas approximately 200 days a year. Most of the time while traveling I dine alone. Most of the time I choose to sit at the bar since it will save a waiter a table with the potential of two diners. I prefer to sit at the bar drinking beer and have a casual dinner... Every other Palm restaurant the Bartender has been inviting, engaging and pleasant to speak with... I have sat at this Bar, which is located in their upstairs casual facility for over an hour. He hasn't even as much as looked at me or simply recognize I am the ONLY person sitting at his Bar. They have a waiter taking care of me rather than the Bartender.... If this is the way they treat a "casual diner" I won't return..

    The food here is amazing. It is supposed to be American fare, but the chicken parm was fantastic and my colleagues ordered giant shrimp and the tacos made with prime rib. There is a cover charge, I don't know why, but it wasn't a big deal. Service was amazing and friendly. They told us there wasn't a bar, but if you go sit in the back part of the restaurant there is a bar and an area where you can smoke a cigar (I don't smoke). It's a classy place inside of a great hotel in a great city.

    HandShake - Banana Split

    Handshake Speakeasy is worth the hype! I managed to snag a Friday night reservation in the basement…read moreroom. The interior was dimly lit and moody, and the staff would yell a welcome every time patrons entered the space. They also did the same once people started leaving. For my first drink, I chose the Mexi-Thai. Handshake is known for their clarified cocktails and I was shocked by how complex the flavors were in this clear beverage. It was almost savory with makrut lime coconut, tomato, and basil oil. For my second drink, I chose the Banana Split. This one was much sweeter with rum, banana, and a blend of sherries. It came topped with a chocolate lego filled with banana ganache, which was insanely decadent and tasty. Our reservation was limited to 90 minutes, which was enough time for me. Overall, loved this spot!

    Hard to see why this has been getting top speakeasy when I feel I've been to better... Pretty easy…read moreto find - it's in a hotel and there is sure to be a super long line waiting, so make sure you check in with one of the waitstaff especially if you haven't booked a reservation. Although our group did not book ahead, we got there right as they opened and only had to wait about 30 min to get seated - but it was also a Monday so maybe that had something to do with it... Aside from the entrance being anticlimactic compared to the bars I have been to, I think the drinks were quite delicious. I got the Earl Grey and the Once Upon in Oaxaca. The first one was honestly my favorite. It was such a refreshing drink that was a really fun take on Earl Grey tea. I really liked the lemongrass straw as well. Drinking out of the straw vs drinking the drink directly made a huge difference in flavor, which I thought was particularly unique. The Once Upon in Oaxaca was slightly smoky and definitely a more liquor forward drink. Perfect for a second cocktail. I would have liked it to be just a tad more smoky with a thicker mouthfeel. Overall, however, it was a pleasant experience, but there are definitely some other bars I'd recommend over this one...
