"Palm Beach Grill’s open kitchen doesn’t stop clinking from the second it opens to the second it closes. The restaurant—and its bar—are always completely slammed, so come with a reservation. There’s a reason why it’s so popular. Like a good pair of corduroy pants, Palm Beach Grill is useful for a dizzying amount of occasions—pretty much anything you can think of except peace and quiet. This makes sense, since it’s part of the Hillstone family. The menu over-delivers on seemingly straightforward American dishes. Hot dogs arrive on golden poppyseed buns, kale salads have panache, and oysters st. charles live up to their regal name. The restaurant shares a bathroom with Honor Bar, an excellent plan B if you can’t score a seat here." - virginia otazo, katie walsh, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
