Palm Court Restaurant

We just left Palm Court restaurant in Arlington Heights. Had dinner with friends I had the chicken Marsala with a mushroom wine sauce on top of mashed potatoes. I thought it was delicious,portion was a little small. they topped it on mashed potatoes, It was half of a half of a chicken breast, but nevertheless it was very tasty. My husband had the coconut lime cod on top of rice, he said it was okay but wouldn’t order it again. One of our guests had the prime rib and said it was outstanding. We had some great cocktails and awesome desserts we ordered the chocolate cake and the brandy Ice it could’ve easily served 4 to 6 people. Our server Will was outstanding. He made some great suggestions on cocktails and also on the menu very attentive. For four people our check was $350 including cocktails. Bottom line, would we go back again? most definitely!

This is a "swanky" restaurant, themed after the night club singers of previous generations: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, etc. Nicely decorated in 1980's style with leather booths. This motif appeals primarily to older people (50+). Service was very good and the food is reasonably priced. After dinner, we sat at the nicely-appointed bar/lounge and listened to jazz. This was entertaining.

I'm not sure it's fair to judge the entire service based on just one dish, especially since this was a complimentary dinner hosted by a financial company during a seminar, but I do feel it's fair to provide honest feedback. Unfortunately, the steak my husband had was one of the worst he's ever experienced. It wasn’t tender or juicy, and the accompanying potatoes and peas were also dry and not to our taste. My salmon, on the other hand, was decent. Given the restaurant’s long-standing reputation, we expected a better overall experience.

We celebrated our 25 anniversary in this fin r dinning restaurant. Waitress Brianna is amazing and the management are understanding and accommodating. The food is good, the atmosphere is decent, and the prices are acceptable. I am giving this place 5 stars because of the way the manager handled a little menu related issue we faced. Full was very professional and accommodating. I’ll be back again for sure

Update to response. I misspoke when I used the term “twice baked. I included a screenshot of the “loaded” potato description. My potato did not have any of the items listed. Also, I the steak was cooked so hot and quick that it was VERY rare inside so I placed both cut sides down on the hot plate to continue to cooking. The butter probably would taste good had it not been burned and bitter. We decided to use our gift card on an early dinner which meant the place was quiet. Our server showed us to a booth overlooking the patio. First up, a summer old fashioned. A delightful blend of bourbon and peach-perfect blend of intense bourbon but summery peach flavors. The house salad and dressing was fresh with great pieces of lettuce using more than the ribs of romaine so that was a huge plus. The creamy Dijon dressing was some of the best I’ve had. Unfortunately, my steak was burned on the outside but really rare on the inside. I was able to cut it in half and salvage it but the Blackhawk butter was burned. The twice baked potato was okay but not exactly how it was described on the menu. It needed the bacon and some seasoning. Our server was very sweet and attentive making the visit very enjoyable.

Go for the happy hour in the bar! Sunday through friday. Biggest oysters I've ever had and so delicious. $2 each... can't beat it! Happy hour menu is great.

I had my mother's funeral luncheon here and it couldn't have been any better. The waitstaff were super nice and working with Sara was incredibly easy. She made me feel so comfortable as though she knew me. Would highly recommend!

I had a fantastic experience at Palm Court in Arlington Heights! The steak was cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The quality of the meat really stood out, and every bite was delicious. The service was equally impressive—attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the evening. The staff made sure everything was just right without being intrusive. Overall, a great place for a memorable meal. I’ll definitely be back!
