The Best of Los Angeles Dining Scene

The Palm - Downtown

The Palm - Downtown

 

The Downtown Los Angeles installment of the venerable Palm empire of restaurants offers reliable steaks, seafood, and Italian specialties in a posh setting. Located at 1100 Flower Street in an enormous space that was formerly a Packard car dealership, the Palm Downtown is the largest in the country. Since 2002 The Palm Downtown has managed to execute the same stellar food that original owners Pio Bozzi and John Ganzi started serving three generations ago in New York City. Today, The Palm restaurants are still a family business run by the original owners’ great-great-grandsons.

Review Title: A Terrible Experience

I made reservations for our company’s executives and executives from a well known chain restaurant at Cicada and was terribly disappointed by the food, and especially the service. We were a table of nine people and there were two other tables of four people and we almost had to beg to get waited on. We sat down and was given our menus, and for at least 15 minutes the waiter did not come back, although a couple of us at the table waved our hands to get his attention, but he was busy chatting with the bartender. I finally went to the hostess who was also chatting on the phone and asked to get some service. She said okay, but kept on chatting on the phone! Finally, when the waiter came over he asked to take our orders, and I asked him if we could have some drinks first, and it was only then when he took our drink orders. When he did take our orders, we asked what he would suggest on the menu and named almost everything on the menu and was very flippant about his suggestions. For the prices we paid for the dinners, they were only mediocre and not well presented. The manager did not even come to our table to ask how we were doing. What an embarrassment and disappointment!
