Well, I usually like to give a place more than a couple chances so Mrs Sweet Willie & I went to the Palm this evening. I was inspired by this thread fromt the Dining Forum http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=586046 it basically states that the Palm during a certain time of year has a lobster dinner for two. Having not been impressed with the Palm's steaks, I thought we would go for the lobster.

One chooses between a 4,5, or 6 lb. lobster. Along with this comes two salads (house or Caesar) two sides, and coffee or tea. Here are the details http://www.thepalm.com/promodetail.cfm?promo_id=41

Bar was hopping, restaurant was dead at 6:30pm on a Thursday night. Only 8 other tables were filled.

Ceasar salad was quite good despite no anchovies. Wife said the house salad had way too much dressing.

We chose a 5lb lobster which when it came had the body of a 5lb but not the tail. I've had more meat out of 2lb lobster than what we experienced this evening. This lobster had been sitting around for quite awhile and with no exercise, the tail muscle shrinks to the skimpy thing it was.

Hash Browns are 1/2" strips of red potato and were good but SWIMMING in butter

Grilled Asparagus were quite tasty, done right ^

so-so wine list, not a wide selection for a steakhouse.

This last experience has pretty much made up my mind that I will not be returning to the Palm.
