Just to add another opinion. The Palm is pretty much a full-blown steak house chain with over 30 locations. And I've probably eaten at half of them , many several times. I personally like the chain but not for the steaks/seafood which I don't rank anywhere near the top. The best thing on their menu is, IMO, the asparagus friti which is lightly breaded, pan-sauteed in lemon butter and finished with fresh Parmesan. That and their generous drinks and the ambience of the restaurants are the Palm's main draw for me. I like their clubby atmosphere. The caricatures of local celebrities that are drawn on the walls are also a unique characteristic of The Palm.
For an entree I usually get one of their veal dishes which they do a decent job with.
If you go, enjoy but don't expect a life-altering experience.
