   We had our annual family "Christmas party" there on Sunday night and the food and service were excellent as always. What cast a pall over the event at the end of the night was finding out that the downtown LA Palm was closing down on 12/30/24. With this closure there will no longer be any Palm restaurants in Los Angeles, or California for that matter. We will have to drive/fly to Las Vegas if we want to enjoy The Palm in the future. I have been dining at The Palm since 1983 in West Hollywood and during my career I have taken clients to The Palm (all four of them when they all existed) in New York, Washington D.C., Orlando, Chicago and Mexico City. We have had dining events for clients, staff and family at many of them. In June 2024 I even had my retirement party at the downtown LA Palm. What set The Palm apart was the local people and their personal touch. I always felt like I was part of a big family wherever I went. I was fortunate to have my family's portraits on the bar wall in the downtown Los Angeles so we can figuratively look down at the bartender to make sure he/she is making the drinks the way we like them! Alas, those pictures will undoubtedly be painted over or the wall will be demolished, but at least we have our portraits in our home and our fond memories are fully engrained in our brains. We shall continue to dine at The Palm whenever we can and understand in some areas of the country that business hasn't returned to the pre-COVID levels, let alone demonstrated growth over recent years. Thank you for all the wonderful memories and I shall pray that all the great employees I have come to know land on their feet in even better positions.

   Jeff the GM was nice when I visited the day before to buy a gift card. Sad to hear about this location closing and anxious to hear what will happen to our caricatures! Lamont Was friendly and helpful. Maria our server is the absolute best. She’s been serving us for over 15 years and we were both sad to say goodbye. The food was mediocre and over priced. Bone in rib eyes were thin and extremely fatty. Mac and cheese was basically pasta with some butter.

   I ordered The Porterhouse, and compared to most, this was adequate at best. We ordered a few sides, which were good. The server was very accommodating.

   We started with and excellent Basil Hayden Old Fashion followed by a lovely bottle of Kosta Browne that paired well with our appetizers, soup and salad…finished with beautifully prepared Filet Mignon and side dishes all washed down with a great bottle of Justin Isosceles Cab…desert was a delicious slice of Cheese Cake and Coffee…prior to going to the Kings Hockey Game

   I made dinner reservations for Thanksgiving. That morning we found we suddenly had a scheduling conflict and called to see if they could offer us a later time. They were very kind and cooperative and accommodated our party of 6 with a later seating. We had fabulous service and the food and wine were fantastic. The wine was great, oysters were fresh, salmon was cooked to perfection, and the desserts were delicious. The servers were attentive and couldn't be more accommodating. Everyone was pleased and really enjoyed the evening. Couldn't recommend The Palm more!

   A bit of a let down for me. My Steak wasn’t seasoned well, and my sisters didn’t enjoy their food either. Heard some good things about Palm, but this was a very marginal eating experience on my vacation.

    My friend had an allergy issue with his linguini. They took it off the bill. I’m a longtime Palm Customer. They should have offered either a drink or dessert.
