Description: When hospitality entrepreneur Charlie Palmer comes to town, you can expect the master chef’s signature elevated American cooking—and more. Although based on culinary tradition with a deep and lasting infusion of classical French cuisine, Palmer’s food has always been an extension of his personality—and there’s no denying that he’s a big American guy. Influenced by his childhood experience working in his family’s vegetable garden, Palmer was an early advocate of farm over factory food. In 1988, he made a landmark commitment to creating dishes featuring regional American ingredients at his sublime three-star Aureole, situated in a brownstone off Manhattan’s Madison Avenue. “In Texas, we’re going beyond free range,” says Palmer. “We’re into free will.” Although the menu features entrees in all the major categories from meat to shellfish, how the meal comes together depends on the individual diner. “Why shouldn’t we let people choose sides,” asks the chef.

We stepped in with the kids after a long day at six flags and the staff was still very welcoming. They made the fancy lemonades we requested despite not being on the menu. They cooked the kids steak to a perfect medium rare. Our lamb chops and scallops were also quite good. I especially enjoyed the brussel sprouts and creamed... More

We had just finished an exhausting day of setting up and tearing down our trade show booth. Charlie Palmer steakhouse welcomed us with opened arms. The food and company were great, but the service was even better. I have to say that our waitress, Amber, was one of the most graceful, professional servers I have ever experienced... there when you... More

Everything was absolutely wonderful.Started with shrimp and grits as our appetizer and they were wonderful. For dinner I had the Chicken with Asparagus and Morels, The chicken was perfectly pan seared, aparagus sweet and tender and the morels were perfect! The only thing I would change is to note that when ordering the sides they should indicated that there is... More

Took clients for dinner last week. There were four of us and we had wine, appetizers, salads and dinners. They took our order promptly, served wine etc. Food was excellent however, served too fast and courses too close together. After served all, service disappeared for drink refills and plate clearing. I finally stopped the manager to please send over our... More

I had some time before I had to catch the shuttle to DFW, so I decided to try Charlie Palmer's at The Joule Hotel for lunch. I'm sure glad I did! I was staying at the nearby Magnolia Hotel, which doesn't have a proper restaurant. I had checked out the dinner menu, and it was way too pricey for my... More

Asked for coffee twice-when it came it was cold. Poor service, felt ignored and the place was not busy. All staff here need customer service training!

We were here on a Sunday night and we were one of only 4 tables occupied. We received awesome service and were treated like royalty. The food was delicious especially the fois gras appetizer. They are known for their steaks, so that is what we got and they were cooked to perfection. The interiors were very warm and inviting. Overall... More

Slept late on Saturday morning at a nearby hotel and wanted breakfast not lunch. Charlie Palmer's came through with delicious Migas which were some of the best I've ever had anywhere. The eggs were light and fluffy but the ingredients were layered - almost like Mexican lasagna. Loved the very large coffee cups. The waiter was very courteous and attentive.... More
