The River Palm Terrace

I've eaten here over the years when here for work. Food is usually good. This particular Saturday afternoon I decided to visit in hopes of having a couple cocktails while enjoying a steak and lobster lunch. What the heck right... Everybody should enjoy a $100 lunch now and again. At 4pm the parking lot was empty. I parked in the corner anyhow... Made it half way to the door and the valet emerged. He explained he could park my already parked car in the empty lot, or; I could move it to the back. I left. Bye River Palm. Try Finks barbecue around the corner instead, save 80%, enjoy great food and customer oriented service instead of dealing with robotic employees.

The best porterhouse steak I had in many years. Unfortunately combined with really bad cocktails. However, when promptly returned, not charged with no questions asked. Nice environment, pleasant service. Will return for the food, and wine or beer.

This is a great place for steak and seafood. On this visit I had oysters tar tar. They was amazing and fresh. Also had the scallops wrapped in bacon. Those come 3 to an order, but again, really good and fresh. The surf and turf was better than the rib eye steak. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly and tender. The lobster tail was one of the better ones that I have had. The rib eye was very good. It did not blow me away. Overall service was on point and the meal was spaced properly. Nothing came out until the prior course was cleared. Update, returned again 4-21-18. It's still amazing. Prime rib to die for. Our server was probably one of the best ever. Will do it again next year.

First and only time. Food was poorly made across the board (seafood and steaks), generally over cooked. The quality of the meats, even if cooked well, was not great. The server ratio was low and we frequently needed to flag them down. Server was unknowledgable about preparation, serving items with soy sauce to gluten free person in our party. Despite politely expressing feedback, there was no effort to make a minor adjustment on the bill, get a manager, or comp a coffee or desert. The setting was a very large non-intimate and noisy room with probably 15 tables. The waiter couldn’t hear us several times given the noise in the room, and we found ourselves talking very loudly across our table of four to hear conversation. The bill was on par with manhattan steak houses despite these issues. With tip (which was modest given the poor service), it was well over $500 for four.

The French onion soup and salmon were both great. Service was pretty good, too. Would have liked a more private setting for a lunch meeting, but it wasn't crowded.
