 Originally a gathering place for intellectuals and artists in 1920s New York, The Palm now has outposts from coast to coast. San Diego’s location maintains its reputation for excellent service, Prime aged steaks and classic Italian specialties like veal Marsala and linguine aglio e olio. Keep in mind that portions are generous and sharing is encouraged. We're impressed with the size and flavor of both the jumbo shrimp and the colossal lump crab meat cocktails. Melding sweet with salty, the cantaloupe melon and prosciutto appetizer is a crowd pleaser. Although fish is prevalent on the menu (salmon, swordfish, shrimp, crab and lobster), steak is the main attraction. The New York strip is juicy and full of rich flavor; the filet mignon is tender and caramelized to perfection. Pair either with the asparagus fritti or the mushroom caps; less successful sides include the half-and-half, cottage fries and fried onions that arrive piping hot, only to cool into a greasy mess. |
