Baby-friendly? Oh no. No no no no no. But yelp could have told me that. Actually common sense could have told me that.
But when beloved out-of-town family are visiting, and when they're dying to see their 4 1/2 month old grandnephew, and when they wanna eat at Palm.... and when they're paying? Baby in a dressy restaurant. Here we go.
Service was excellent and our server Alan was very attentive and sweet. He quite astonishingly remembered all the names of our party that my aunt threw out at him. AND Alan was gracious enough to give us a fancy "to-go" cup for hubby's coffee when he got up and took a turn wheeling crabby babes around the forum shops.
The split pea and ham soup was AH-mazing, as was the lobster bisque, and the wedge and caesar salads were good, good, good. Hubby didn't absolutely love his pastrami sandwich but he also isn't a fan of rye bread so I'm not sure he's an adequate judge.
Don't bring your baby. Or do if you have to. I get it.
