Guests of the Hard Rock Hotel keep The Palm busy most nights, settling in for thick steaks and other expense-account delights. The Palm features caricatures on the walls of celebrities and local notables, an amicable setting for the pricy dishes. Appetizers include fried calamari, clams casino and seared ahi. Or skip the first course and head straight for the thick, tender cuts of beef and lamb rib chops. The steaks are first-rate; the expensive sides, like fried asparagus and three-cheese potatoes, are just so-so. The Palm also has a handful of seafood creations---broiled crab cakes, Alaskan king crab legs, or heaping plates of veal piccata or linguine with red or white clam sauce. If you’re not in the mood to commit to a full meal, take advantage of the Prime Time at the Palm Bar, available weekdays from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. to close. Small plates are just $4.50 each; the selection includes beef sliders, a charcuterie plate, blue-corn fried oysters and lobster BLT sliders. Oysters on the half shell during Prime Time are $1.50 each.
