    We went to Palm Court for Mother’s Day and my mom loved it. The food was delicious - all of our steaks were perfectly cooked, the sides and drinks were equally good. We also ordered the key lime pie for dessert and I have never seen such a large piece of pie! While very tasty, I was hoping the pie would be a little more tart. Service wasn’t noteworthy, which is an okay thing in my book. The staff was polite and food arrived hot. I’d definitely recommend to friends!

    Celebrating an 80th birthday and we could not have chosen a better room. Staff was welcoming, attentive and fun, but not overwhelming, from cocktails through desert; and particularly, including special attention to a slight diner's-oops at the end of the meal. Although food should be a focal point of a restaurant review, and here I'll say it was "good" but just stop there, Staff made this dinner special ... from Front Desk "hello" to the Manager's "goodbye" ... and particularly our server Nikki. Nicely done!
