    The food was amazing everyone cleaned their place. That was good because our waitress didn’t even come back and check on us. The service was slow, not very attentive and cold coffee to end the meal. Not very impressed at these prices!

    At one point, I was one of the top 10 customers at the Houston Palm in their old location. I have never been to the downtown location under the Landry‘s group. I was very pleasantly surprised. The food was exceptional and well in accordance with what I have been used to in the glory days of the palm. I’ll definitely be back although downtown it’s a bit of a hassle.

    Had a wonderful Saturday Night meal. This place has very well priced cocktails and wine across the menu accompanied with amazing food. Bill is also less than expected here which is a huge plus. If you want a great meal and cheap priced high quality drinks this is the spot!
