Burrata and prosciutto
Michelle M.

We had a wonderful visit to this steakhouse located inside the Hard Rock Hotel at Universal. We joined them for the 100th anniversary wine pairing and five course dinner. The restaurant is beautifully appointed and elegant. The restrooms are very clean. The service was amazing from start to finish. The wine pairings were excellent and they had a sommelier there that walked us through each pairing. The food was absolutely delicious. The steak is some of the best I've ever had at any restaurant anywhere! The lobster was absolutely amazing as well. We enjoyed everything from the appetizer to the tiramisu for dessert. We also had some really tasty espresso martinis. I highly recommend and would return.

Iced Carrot Cake

Nothing really stood out with flavors or presentation. Food wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing either. The bread service was great. The lobster seemed overcooked in my opinion. The carrot cake was moist but the downside is that the icing tasted heavily of cream cheese. I don't think i'll be back but it was an okay one time experience.

Veal martini (Marsala)

Overall, we had a good experience and I'd rate it about 3.5 out of 5 stars. The service was friendly and the staff was very accommodating with our large party, which we really appreciated. The ambiance was also nice and created a pleasant atmosphere for dinner. The food was good, and one helpful thing to know is that the menu is served à la carte, so sides are not included with the entrées and must be ordered separately. I didn't realize that before visiting, but the side portions are generous and large enough for two people to share. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience with solid service and a nice setting, though there is still some room for improvement.

Tiramisu
Danielle J.

Fine dining at all the top levels! Our food, the service, setting was all spectacular for expectations of The Palm or any fine dining. The Thick-Cut Steakhouse Bacon appetizer was a great start, similar to other places as a "pork belly" cut but seasoned well with an amazing sauce side. We lucked on a whole lobster special and add on filet to share. Everything was perfectly cooked, plated, & presented. The manager provided an excellent wine suggestion that greatly complemented the meal. Our server provided excellent timed service and attention for a special meal.

Iced Carrot Cake

We came here for a Christmas meal, as a party of 7 (five adults and two children). Our reservation was at 2:45pm, so it was a late lunch/early dinner. The restaurant was decorated lovely for the holidays, and the staff was friendly and responsive. The food, however, was not very tasty. We ordered LOTS of food, including several items not pictured (i.g., black truffle risotto, lobster bisque, carrot cake, tiramisu, wedge salad, mashed potatoes, chicken parm, an Arnold Palmer and an espresso martini). Only the 6yo liked her meal. The 4yo complained that the chicken tenders were spicy. All of the adults rated their food as "just okay" and the desserts as not good. The carrot cake was reportedly dry and the tiramisu was lacking. It was almost completely missing the ladyfinger layer. The portion sizes were good and our waiter was excellent. We also ran into an issue attempting to purchase a gift card with the holiday bonus special. The manager took care in speaking with us and explaining the issue. Given that no one truly enjoyed their meal, I'd opt for a different restaurant over this one. I'm certain we could have found food people enjoyed at a lower price point.

Prime New York Strip * 14 Ounce Oscar style
Shay E.

You can't have a bad meal at The Palm. This was the best steak I've had in a very long time. My only complaint is that they don't offer dry-aged beef. I ordered the New York strip Oscar style, and it was cooked perfectly, full of flavor, tender, and everything you'd want from a great steak. We also ordered the steak carpaccio and the thick-cut steakhouse bacon. The bacon quite literally melts in your mouth and is absolutely divine. For sides, the hash browns are an absolute must. We also tried the corn Cacio e Pepe, which was fantastic and a fun twist on a classic. The service truly stood out and elevated the entire experience. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel genuinely welcomed without ever being intrusive. From start to finish, everything was seamless and professional. I can't wait to come back next year when I'm back in Orlando.

Gin martini

We had a very nice dinner at the Palm last night. Drinks in the bar were excellent. Chris was a perfect bartender-personable and makes great cocktails. Our food and service were equally good in the dining room. Our server Stacey was great. She made excellent recommendations and we couldn't have asked for better service. We will come back soon.

OsoBuco, 8oz lobster tail, creamed spinach and potatoes Au gratin. 2023 Caymus Cab

A Legacy Reimagined: Mixed Experiences at The Palm Post-Landry's Acquisition I've been a loyal Palm patron for nearly 4 decades, with family ties dating back even further. This review reflects my third dining experience since Landry's took over. Initially, I was disappointed to learn about the takeover and the loss of my accumulated 837 Club loyalty points, which weren't transferable to Landry's loyalty program. A $25 membership offer didn't fully alleviate the impact. That all was immediately after the pandemic shutdowns, so could have been much worse news to learn, and we still gave a couple of more goes to see if the allure could be recaptured. Next visit left little to remember, other than the par able rolls from the first post pandemic visit were still a thing. Not even the good kind, the kind you expect to be mass produced by Sysco. My recent 20-year anniversary dinner highlighted both positives and negatives. The atmosphere was largely unchanged, but service was inconsistent. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, but the back waiter seemed inexperienced. We waited 5-7 minutes for seating, and table maintenance was lacking. Food was a mixed bag. First, the bread situation changed again and is now a sorta kind of focaccia with an oil and cherished red pepper flake set up. Very weird choice by the chefs, but ok. Wasn't anything to sore home about and if your gonna do a focaccia, then at least make it in house as it's super easy to pump out for any kitchen. I digress and still miss the original artisan bread selections and homemade butter, but life goes on I suppose. The new crab cake recipe was mediocre and not sure if the odd bread crumbs were air fried or what, but definitely not the original pan seared prep and set up and far, but the quality and taste of the crab itself were superb. The Oso Buco was a bit confusing and hidden by way too many pasta pearls which was disappointing, while the Palm Duo was cooked to a perfect medium as requested and tasted like the original seasoned streaks. My lobster tail was also tasty and cooked perfectly, however I do suspect that I was more like a 5oz, maybe 6oz tail and not the advertised 8oz. Still great though. The 4-tiered chocolate cake was dry and crumbling, likely several days old, considering they comped it for our anniversary, can't complain too much. The marinated cherries on the side though, were simply heavenly and the serve snuck me a few extras, so that's a huge plus. Wine selection was limited and seriously disappointed that after easily 100 visits in my adult lifetime, they remove my go to dessert accompaniment, the 5 Putanyos Royal Tokaj Aszu. It's Not the best Aszu, but certainly the most widely higher end brand available in the USA. Will just have to wait for my Aszu fix this summer when I'm back in Tokaj. However, the 2023 Caymus Cab was a highlight, especially at only a $100 for a one liter edition for the 100 years of Palm promo. While very young still, after it breathed a bit, it lived up to the Caymus name and a bottle worthy of throwing into my collection to age for another 5-10 years for optimal drinking. Oh, the sides: Creamed spinach and potatoes Au gratin. Both are new recipes and were so so compared to the originals. Had some leftovers and they definitely tasted better for lunch the next day. Post-dining, I received two calls from the Palm, but the feedback process felt insincere. Overall, The Palm under Landry's shows potential, but needs refinement to recapture its former excellence and continue to live up to the price point expectations. As a restaurant consultant, my standards may be higher than most, but for this legacy institutional name, I'd be happy to help them address these issues and restore the brand's reputation, but that is up to their powers that be. In the meantime, all we can do is wish them the well and hope for best. We shall see.

My dinner at the Palm was so awesome we went there twice, two nights in a row! I got the 18 ounce New York strip, medium well, unbelievably delicious. Asparagus, awesome. Baked potato, the best. Meatball appetizer, delicious, well seasoned. Cheesecake and Tiramisu both awesome. The only thing that kind of sucks is this whole bottle Diet Coke thing. That's non-sense. We want delicious, well mixed, well carbonated Diet Cokes. Other than that, everything was awesome. The server we had both nights was Joyce. This chick is on fire! Palm Orlando is the best. Keep Rockin'! #MattJasonRocks #KeepRockin

Hmmm, so we came here for our anniversary dinner. Our server was fantastic. I mean the entire experience was great. They gave us a cute little happy anniversary card. The wine I ordered was good too. But let's talk about the meal So I'm an idiot and didn't tell them about my allergies. No worries, they quickly replaced my meal and didn't make me feel like the idiot I was. The shrimp was massive! The wine sauces was amazing. I'd come here again. Thanks for the great vibes. Maybe next time they will have a picture of me on the wall.

Some couple that never talked to each other and stayed on their phones.

Josian was our server and did an amazing job. The food was excellent and plentiful and the ambiance was upbeat and energetic. Thank you Palm for the great time

Is there a dress code, are jackets required?

This location is inside the Hard Rock hotel. It's business casual but since most folks are on vacay mode we saw folks dressed in t-shirts and shorts, jeans and sweatshirts.

Although this is a tapas place, the portions are big! It is also a rum bar, so all the cocktails on…read morethe menu are made with different rums. I'm not a fan of rum, but the drink I had (at the recommendation of our server) was actually very good. I can't remember the name unfortunately, but it was one of the "tide" drinks - not the velvet - but it's not on the online menu. For food my friend and I shared the cheesy arepas, which were good but not like usual arepas. She had the empanadas and liked them, I had the la canoa, which is a take on a Puerto Rican dish, it was really good, but different than I expected. For dessert we tried the banana bread pudding. It was huge and tasty, but way too much for two people. I will say, I always get confused and read this dish as bread pudding with bananas, but no it is made with banana bread. So if you don't like that, I'd try something else. Also, shoutout to our great server Freddie. He was very patient and knowledgeable.

Never Made It Inside - Poor Wait Time Management…read more We were really looking forward to trying this place for the first time, but unfortunately never got to eat here. We arrived at 6pm on a Sunday and were told the wait would be 45 minutes to 1 hour. We understood it was busy and put our name down. After waiting 1 hour and 15 minutes, we checked back in, only to be told they had no idea when we'd be seated. We gave it another 10 minutes, but still no timeline or update. I completely understand that restaurants get slammed and wait times can be unpredictable. What was frustrating wasn't the wait itself - it was the lack of honest communication. If it was going to be a 1.5-2 hour wait, just tell us upfront so we can make an informed decision about our evening. Honestly, the host seemed to have forgotten about us as she seemed surprised and scrolled way down the list to find our name even though we were "top of the list". After waiting over 1.5 hours with no end in sight and getting increasingly hungry, we had to leave and grab food elsewhere. With three hosts working, I would have expected better expectation management than what we experienced tonight. I hope this was just an off night, but we left disappointed and hungry.

Ocean Prime Orlando did not disappoint…read more After wrapping up a full day of training, one of my colleagues selected Ocean Prime for dinner, and it was the perfect choice. The atmosphere felt upscale and polished without being uncomfortable, and since we were already dressed in business casual attire, the setting fit the evening perfectly. A few of my colleagues started with seasonal cocktails, and we ordered a bread basket for the table. The bread arrived warm with a nice variety of wheat, white, and thin crispy breadsticks, which was the perfect tide-over while we waited for our entrées. Our table ordered a mix of steak, lobster rolls, and several sides including mac and cheese, scalloped potatoes, broccolini, and Brussels sprouts. I chose the miso cod with shrimp dumplings, and it was absolutely delightful. The broth was poured tableside, which gave the dish a little extra presentation and anticipation -- and thankfully, the flavor lived up to the hype. Everyone at the table commented on how good their meals were, and the entire experience felt well-paced, elevated, and enjoyable from start to finish. Even splitting the bill among our group was seamless, which is always appreciated when dining with colleagues. Great food, great atmosphere, and a wonderful way to close out a long day. Ocean Prime was definitely a win.

It's also opened cracked and preseasoned for you so there's less work. The seasoning they use is wonderful and delicious and my son absolutely loves as well. We also really like that they have shrimp pasta and for only 8.99 that's a super deal. Their prices are good and very competitive. Not over priced at all. We usually get the largest combo which is corn potatoes shrimp snow crab blue crab and crawfish and that's around $54 dollars and it absolutely feeds more than 2 because me and my teenage son can't finish it all in one setting. I would definitely recommend and we will return.

The food did not taste like it was not fresh or anything. It was actually pretty good. The inside of the restaurant, however, is not a place you can sit and eat. It is just like a little place where you can wait for your food to be made but they don't have tables or anything. It's just some chairs to wait in. This is what I would call a hole in the wall for sure, but their food was pretty good. The only thing I did not like was the corn. It was so soaked up in the oil and seemed like it may have been at the bottom of the barrel because it was very hard and soaked with the oil so when I took a bite into the corn, not only could I barely bite into it but nothing but oil and like hard clumps came out of the corn. The corn had to be discarded. The potatoes were pretty good. They were nice and soft and only some of the crab legs were a little bit overcooked but we would probably come here again.
