| - Came here for Charlotte's Restaurant Week this week, where the price fixe everywhere is 30 bucks! Palm is the kind of place where that deal is worth it. The service was fine, although our server was a bit of the anxious type. I started with the mixed green salad, which was completely unmemorable. I say this because I literally had to go to the restaurant's website to figure out what the heck I ate for the first course. Apparently the mixed green salad. I vaguely remember the baby tomatoes.
However, we also had some sides as appetizers, which were truly phenomenal. The green beens were all oiled up with chunks of bacon in them. Wow. And the mashed potatoes were garlicky and very delicious.
For my second course, I had filet mignon medallions, which were also very good. I ordered them medium rare, and although the meat didn't quite "melt" with my knife like I wanted it to (perhaps due to the smaller size of the medallions), they were still quite tasty.
Apparently the Palm is known for its cheesecake, and I ordered that for dessert. Quite frankly, I'm used to every steak house having some sort of cheesecake, and they are all more or less good. But no. The Palm's cheesecake truly takes the cheesecake. It's HUGE and LOADED with sugar and a bunch of sweet fruit sauces are DUMPED ALL OVER IT. It was the best cheesecake I've eaten in years, possibly ever. I can't say for sure it was the best every, since clearly my memory is suspect, due to the fact that my memory of that mixed greens salad remains a little hazy...
Everything was washed down with two "Strawberry Fields" a sweet rum drink. It was fine. The beer list wasn't handy, and I didn't want to fill up on that.
