Years ago this place was THE. BOMB. The past 4 or 5 times in Chicago, I’ve been to the palm and unfortunately, it’s a desperate try to compete.
The lunch at the bar is quite lovely.
The dinner is a joke, ICE cold 12oz. $70 Filet Mignon, served as dinner was the clincher for me personally. I even had the waiter touch, his reaction was PRICELESS due to the fact, it was ICE COLD as in straight out of the refrigerator. My dinner companion had the Sea Bass, so much salt in the sauce it was 100% uneatable.
Avoid the Palm, it’s not what it was and it’s not getting any better. Morton’s down the street holds its own, if you’re looking for an “ old school” midwestern steak, it’s better and they usually get it right.

Fabulous in every regard. Luis was phenomenal, attentive, knowledgeable very pleasant. The rest of the staff that worked on our table were also swift and attentive. If you just looked up they saw you, and got what you needed. HIGHLY recommend.

Really disappointing tonight. Most definitely my last trip here. My server didn't bring or ask us if we'd like bread and butter, mention toppings or treatments for the steaks. The steaks were good, no doubt. Though I've absolutely had better, where entrees were offered with at least 1 side. We also ordered lobster gnocchi, shrimp cocktails, Wedge salad. All good, but again, there are better places which seem unfair to name. Try a bit South on Michigan. One last thing, one in our party ordered their filet butterflied, MW (something for everyone, I suppose) and it came out cut in half. One side M the other side W. We just had to laugh, then discussed new places we'd be frequenting henceforth.

My wife and I came here because we were staying at the Swissotel and it was overly convenient with us being tired from work + travel. As we sat at the bar and reviewed our options, we realized the minimal options. I ordered a salmon meal and my wife ordered the lobster bisque. My salmon was raw in the middle and I could eat about 1/3 of it. Crazy considering it was $44! My lobster risotto had parts that were hard and it didn’t seem like it cooked evenly throughout. The lobster bisque was incredibly runny and honestly did not look appetizing at all. Our drinks were good, but I cannot recommend this place for an actual meal based off this experience. The price for what we received was extremely subpar and not worth the $$ we paid.

The food is consistently good, though it's tough being a steak restaurant in Chicago! Their filet is never a bad choice. I'm not a cheesecake fan, but my better half said it was well done. The bartenders are witty and professional. They have a great drink menu with a bevvy of special liquors.

Had dinner here tonight with my family and we enjoyed ourselves! The food was fantastic, the service was top-notch and just being in the presence of my family as we ate and talked just took everything to a whole nother level. This is a great place for families and it's a great place for a date night, The Palm will leave you happy

I've loved the Palm ever since starting at Swisshotel on our wedding night in 2004. The food is always delicious and the service attentive.

Pretty happy with the breakfast here. Good portions and great flavour. Had multiple times. The service speed is a bit hit and miss though.

Excellent place for dinner! We started off with the crab cakes, shrimp cocktail, and shrimp bruno which were all fantastic and moved on to the entrees! I ordered the steakhouse wedge which was to die for and the oyster platter which was also amazing! My friends got the sea bass, chicken parm, and we all split the mushrooms, mashed potatoes, and broccolini where all the sides are shareables which was very nice! It was all very pricey, but it was a great night and my friends all said the drinks were amazing as well so everything was worth it!

Amazing! We sat at the bar and was accommodated by the nicest bartender! He was so attentive and friendly which made our experience a memorable one. As the service can’t get any better, we were greeted by Victor, one of the managers. He made sure that we were taken care of and even had a surprise for my partners birthday! Other managers also made their rounds to make sure everything is great! Thank you again for a wonderful experience. Will definitely be back and will tell our friends of this great experience!

Excellent meal, we ordered the $29 three course lunch. The pasta was so good it still tasted fresh when I ate my wife's leftovers hours later, cold.The Lobster bisque was served in a unique fashion & my chicken parm was delicious.
