Fodor's Expert Review The Palm Restaurant

The San Antonio location of this classic New York–style steak house maintains the chain's efforts to bring back the supper clubs of decades past. Premium seafood, including jumbo Nova Scotia lobster, and Italian specialties add plenty of diversity to a menu populated by prime aged porterhouses, double-cut New York strip, and veal chops. Distinguished but not stuffy, the first thing you notice is the walls covered with hand-drawn caricatures of local and international celebrities, sports figures, politicians, and others who have dined at the Palm over the years. The dining room is elegant and stately, putting you in the right frame of mind to down some serious turf or surf or both. The dark, quiet bar area is a great place for conversation and cocktails.
