Dining room at The Palm, West Hollywood, CADespite the high prices, The Palm is always packed and the Bentleys keep rolling up outside. Though part of a national chain that serves as an oasis for displaced or wandering New Yorkers who hold the original Manhattan location so dear to their hearts, L.A.'s Palm maintains its own distinctive flavor: the brass rails, wood booths and crisp white linen of a serious steakhouse, combined with colorful caricatures on the walls of current and past Hollywood celebrities. The service is brisk and attentive---although often rushed---from what seem to be dedicated long-term professional waiters rather than struggling actors waiting for that big phone call. Atmosphere and service aside, this place is all about thick steaks and gargantuan---three pounds and up---lobsters, although there's also a wide range of Italian dishes offered. Though some of the salads are ho-hum, sides such as the fried onions and thick-cut cottage fries are recommendable, and the cheesecake, imported from the Big Apple, is a must. Also at 1100 S. Flower St., Los Angeles, 213-763-4600.
