"Celebrating our 6th Anniversary dinner the Palm in Tyson’s Corner on 12 June 21 and dinner was good. They wishes us a Happy anniversary when we arrived but another restaurant with the initials of RC has better presentation and well wishes. Due to the Commonwealth (finally) opening to full capacity recently, it was nice to see that the restaurant was busy though the appetizers were limited and there were not any soups offered. I requested a well manner, extra dirty martini, straight up with Tito’s and you can see the martini was not “dirty enough from the “lack of” brine and there was not any blue stuffed olives in the drink. That is the best part! The steak tartare that I ordered needed some salt…maybe some French Maldon sea salt to elevate it a tad. The three cheese potatoes au gratin were decadent. We also picked out a bottle of white French wine to accompany dinner but our server came back to unfortunately inform us that they were out fo stock so we settled for a Spanish white wine instead. Not pictured is the salad my husband had for an appetizer, the leaf spinach side that was aglio e olio, his portion of the 3lb lobster (that we shared) and his slice of cheesecake. One of the servers was kind enough to break the claws for us, thus the lobster photo is not the best photo. We previously had been frequent diners at the Palm over the years and I am blaming Covid for the Palm not being as top notch as it used to be since the staff was stretched thin and the overall atmosphere was loud due to the high ceiling in the dining room. We will try it again once normalcy returns to the area. Thank you."

"bundok came high and the menu prices increased the expectations even further. my man and I enjoy high-end food experiences at home and away, so we have a fair idea of value for quality. the quality is mediocre [for higher eating,] the worth. is absent. we had the steaktar (a lot better sorts they find elsewhere in the city;) we found the sauce excessive and the taste of the flesh was buried. next was the pommes dauphine, the disappointing blanden, also with the rich sauce they were served. the top sirloin was the next and it was quite decent, but again it is better to find, especially at the price point bundok sits on the last 3 pieces meat were totally fat and unusable. Finally, the broccoli, the actually quite daring tasty and the parmesan suppe, which was also quite beautiful, although we were calculated extra (without warning) for it in two dishes, despite the waitress itself, this offers as convenientness (so the entire menu is family style for the exchange.) explain this. the big problem that the night completely ruined came when we tried to order cakes 1 hour and 45 minutes in our sitting places and said we had to move to dessert in the bar, as our table was reserved for 20:15 (we had a reservation for 18:30) we never had to learn that we were asked to leave our table and its surely unexpected when we were still eating less than 2 hours. we spent $178 on eating and drinking and were asked to clean our table 1 hour and 45 minutes after sitting. unreal! the server did not try to ensure that we have finished eating within their prescribed limit and did not notify us that they had a deadline. also the cocktails are expensive for nothing spectacular and always arrived (we have ordered two different types each.) this is a restaurant where we will not be back and we would recommend to avoid. it costs as a high end, but eating does not measure to the price point and the service is on the slow and uninformed side. the question of leaving our table 1h 45m is a first and, as mentioned, we often eat out. our visit to this restaurant marks the first time that we do not type and the first time that we have ever called to complain to the administration (which ultimately left us with each has an abandoned night and they would pass on our comments to the owners.) cordial gratitude, bundok, to these two unfortunate meilensteinen! this review was initially rejected as tripadvisor's policy, so it had to be released again. we have 8 feb 2020 dinated and the review was written on this day. now his month later, everyone I told this story is appalled and no one has such an experience in a restaurant. it was insulting to give up a table for another party."
