Palmtree Grill

I ate here because I was staying at the hotel. Â I should have known better. Â The lunch was overcooked and over priced. Â The service was great.
The cook to order breakfast was very good and the cost is included in the room rate.
Overall, you are better to go out and eat.

I went here because they were having a special if you were going to see a show at the PAC afterward. Â The food was pretty basic and generic — not much different than an Applebees in my mind. Â My friend really enjoyed hers, but she also likes generic food and Applebees. Â I will say, it’s free parking and equidistant from the PAC than the PAC parking spaces you have to pay for. Â It might be worth going in for a salad or something before a show just to get the parking space. Â But I wouldn’t drop a ton of money on a bland entrée. Â Also, there was nothing vegetarian friendly and when I tried to order the pasta dish without the meat, the server seemed hesitant and acted like I was a crazy person. Â Ugh, chains…

Ok, this place sucks. Â I read the menu online and was very intrigued about the menu as it offered a very nice meal, on paper. Â When we got there we ordered wine which was a nice pour and overall good, the waitress had no idea about the wines, their tastes, or actually anything besides which was a top seller. Â
We started with two appetizers, the prime rib bites and the pomme frites. Â The prime rib bites came as 3, 2 inch chunks of overcooked, charred prime rib over crushed potatoes, asparagus and a horseradish cream sauce. Â They were so overcooked and boring. Â They seriously had the consistency of corned beef. Â The potatoes lacked any salt or flavoring. Â overall a terrible appetizer. Â The pomme frites were soggy french fries that had a very strong truffle oil smell and were covered with Parmesan. Â They completely needed salt, and i wouldn’t order them again. Â
My dinner was the «lump» crab cakes with fingerling potatoes and asparagus. Â My meal was the best meal of the night. Â The crab cakes were obviously out of a can and were the finely shredded type, no lump. Â They tasted ok, they did not come with any sauce, and I had to request a garlic aioli topping. Â Without the sauce they would have been dry. Â The asparagus and fingerling potatoes were way to salty. Â
Two of my dinner mates got the seared scallops with white truffle risotto. Â They were obviously frozen and had no flavor. Â We all joked that the risotto was more like ricearoni. Â The meal completely lacked any flavor not to mention was over salted.
My other dinner mate got the cold smoked double pork chop that was so horrible we had to send it back. Â /​it came out with the consistency of wood and could barely be cut. Â It was so overly salted, it was simply an awful, awful meal.
For dessert we got a chocolate flourless cake abomination that we joked was a little debbie cake with chocolate sauce and nuts on it…
I also ordered a baileys chai cocktail after dinner that tasted like a candy cane and was just boozy and gross…
Our waitress was very nice and promptly took the pork chop off of the menu. Â Our bill was over $ 200 and I will NEVER eat here again. Â This was the worst dinner I have had in a long time. Â It’s obvious this is typical hotel food and the staff is used to cooking for banquets.
