Fodor's Expert Review Silver Palm Lounge

The Silver Palm drips with cash and cachet, with a model waitstaff and chic clientele. There's an old-fashioned, leather-clad bar and another section that replicates a classic English country library (perfect for civilized, proper afternoon tea or a pre- or post-dinner Champagne or single malt). Also on tap: fab cocktails, including specialty martinis (the Silver Palm cosmopolitan is a winner: Ketel One citron, triple sec, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, and a splash of cranberry topped off with Moët Champagne); pages of wines by the glass; and an impressive list of cigars, cognacs, and aged rums.
