The Palm Restaurant in Denver: Classic American Steakhouse

If you are making plans to visit Denver anytime soon either for the Democratic National Convention or just as an adventure, you’ll probably want to know where to get a good steak. Even better, you may want to know where to get a great steak at a great historic restaurant. You have everything you need at The Palm Restaurant “The Classic American Steakhouse”.

It would really take a book to fully do justice to The Palm Restaurant. It was the first “White Tablecloth” restaurant to go national emanating from New York and now having over 25 Locations in major cities while still maintaining original family ownership of course, one being in Denver.

The Palm Restaurant is a Denver restaurant where people, including celebrities, go to see and be seen. It is one of those few restaurants that you hear about that puts caricatures of celebrities and well-known cartoon characters on the wall. Celebrities such as Jackie Gleason, Francis Ford Coppola and Mitch Miller along with cartoon icons Beetle Bailey, Popeye and Batman adorn the walls of the various restaurants. The New York Palm Restaurant alone has each of its walls insured for ½ million dollars.

The Palm Restaurant began as an Italian restaurant and was dubbed “Palm” when the owners, from Parma, Italy, could not speak English well and “Parma” came out “Palma”. However, as businessmen requested steaks, the restaurant moved its fare to meet the desires of its clientele.

The Palm Restaurant is located at The Westin Tabor Center, 1672 Lawrence Street, Denver, Colorado 80202. The phone number is 303-825-7256.

Hours of operation for The Palm Restaurant are 11am to 11pm Monday through Friday; 5pm to 11pm Saturday and 5pm to 10pm Sunday. Valet parking is available and reservations are highly recommended.

The Palm can be a little pricey. For example, with respect to steaks, some of the offerings of The Denver Palm are 28 ounce Prime-Aged Porterhouse Steaks; 26 ounce Prime Ribs of Beef; 32 ounce for two Prime-Aged Double Cut New York Strip Steaks and 14 ounce Filet Mignon running the gamut in price from $24 to $86.

There are many more entrees including salads, vegetables and appetizers. The Palm Restaurant’s menu doesn’t lack for variety.
