Against what others have raved about NoMi, I decided to take my girlfriend to the Palm instead, since it was 1 block away from my apartment and she does not have to torture her feet on those heels

Straight out, I was very disappointed with the service and quality of the Palm and let me explain why. When the server brought us our glasses of water, my girlfriend's had 2 insects in her glass.

2nd incident, I ordered my Filet Migon Medium and when it came, the top was all black and I took a taste and it was bitter to the core.

3rd incident, the bread basket had soggy bread sticks that were not at all fresh or crunchy.

4th incident, my iced tea was refilled once, when I received the check for the meal (my glass had been empty since our appetizer arrived)

Maybe I am too picky, but when I go to an acclaimed restaurant, paying $120 for my meal, I expected something better
