The Palm Beach

During the evening, there was a very talented lounge singer performing both classics and current hits, showing that Palm Beach has really stepped up their game. The food was top-notch, from the duck to the prawns, everything was delicious with good portion sizes and reasonable prices considering the fantastic setting and service. Kudos to Michele and the team for hitting the mark perfectly! I can't wait to return to Palm Beach. - A regular Palm Beach patron.

Very clean restaurant, with plenty of spaces between separate tables. Friendly waiters. Food was awesome. I had prawn tandoori, and although I ate tandoori chicken before, the tandoori prawns were simply delicious.

I had eaten here about 25 years ago and the food was delicious and I remember having a Spaghetti Carbonara which was prepared at the table which made it memorable it was also delicious, which helped the happy memories even more! Over the years I thought of returning to dine here but never got round to it until now but I am so glad I did. The restaurant is situated apart from the casino so you can hear some of the action and excitement but you are also secluded enough to be able to enjoy your meal and the ambience. The actual setting is very classy and welcoming and so you arrive at a beautifully presented restaurant which is inviting and very comfortable. As Christmas is nearly upon us the restaurant had approximately five Christmas trees neatly arranged at one end as well as nice lights set up which helped create a nice festive atmosphere. We were seated by our waiter and then shortly after a complimentary glass of prosecco was brought to us and then some wet towels. A nice touch and a sign of class. Then a waiter came round with a bread basket and offered us some bread which again was a nice touch. There were three choices and they all looked good but I have to say that the onion bread with butter was absolutely delicious and we had to stop ourselves from eating too much of it otherwise there would have been no point ordering any food because we would be full already! The menu is rather unique as it does not concentrate on one type of cuisine choosing, instead, to utilise four! This is rather brave as I have been to many restaurants which cannot get their own specialist cuisine right, let alone experimenting with others! The four cuisines are: European: predominantly Italian because I would say it is the best in the world (I 'm slightly biased though it doesn 't make it any less true! this also includes a very appealing Grilled Meats section if you enjoy your meat; Indian and South Asian; Middle Eastern and finally Chinese. My girlfriend and I loved the menu but my concern was that they might be overreaching themselves. Gordon Ramsay always says that you should keep it simple and not try to do too many dishes.......but this restaurant is trying to do dishes belonging to four rather different cuisines! I 've never been to a restaurant which tries to do that and I can 't recall hearing of a restaurant which does this and that 's probably because it 's a really tough trick to pull off cooking such different styles of food and making a success of all of them a bit like a plasterer who also knows how to fix your car and perform brain surgery! I 'm sure they exist but there aren 't too many successful ones about! Anyway, we took quite a while to choose because the menu had such fantastic dishes and we wanted to try practically all of them! I must say that although there are a varied number of cuisines the menu is kept to a manageable amount of dishes, so you have lots of choice but within reason and you can tell the menu has been carefully selected and crafted. We eventually went for the Seared King Scallops and the Three Lentil Soup as starters. Then for mains we chose the Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Biryani with garlic naans. I have to say that the Scallops were absolutely incredible! A perfect size rather than the tiny, insignficant sized scallops you get at some other establishments which claim to be fine dining and cooked to perfection and the taste combination with the asparagus, pea puree and tomatoes was a work of pure genius! The soup was also absolutely delicious and I can honestly say that I doubt a Michelin starred restaurant could have served up two better starters! When the curries arrived we were concerned that they could not meet the high standards set by the starters but our fears were unfounded because once again the flavours were magnificent and the garlic naans were absolutely beautiful and so well made! We are both big fans of Dishoom and regularly go there because we love their food and we both agreed that these curries were at least on a par with any curry we would be served at Dishoom. The above makes this restaurant a favourite and an absolute must for anyone who enjoys their food and enjoys fine dining. So you may be wondering why the four stars? Well, it was perhaps too much to expect that it would all be plain sailing and sadly this is the case here because now we come to the desserts. I had the Warm Chocolate Fondant any my beloved had the Cheesecake. Perhaps it was impossible to scale the heady heights achieved by the food on the main menu but we lived in hope that the desserts could achieve such a feat.......but they could not. Sadly it felt like they had to offer a dessert menu but their hearts were not really in it and so they were rather ordinary and did not really show even a glint of the magic and culinary artistry we had been shown. It really felt like the desserts were an afterthought and I am led to wonder whether the chef who produced that fantastic menu and that amazing food had anything to do with the desserts? I can 't believe he did. To make things worse I ordered a cappuccino and was given something which no Italian on this earth would consider to be a cappuccino but more like an insult in a cup. I realised there was a problem as soon as I saw the foam in the cup as it reminded me of my amateurish efforts in the 90s when I bought myself a cheap cappuccino maker with attached frother and made some rather awful cappuccinos with thick cloud like formations sitting uncomfortably on top of the milk and coffee. This was akin to one of my poorer efforts and then the taste was the final insult! If that coffee had been within a thousand miles of an espresso coffee bean I 'd be amazed! It was clearly instant coffee and it was absolutely awful and such a shame that a restaurant with this much class would serve such sub standard coffee. Surely they could get a proper machine to do the job and make a fine beverage to compliment such a fine meal? Even a Nespresso machine with an Aeroccino milk frother would be a simple and great idea and it would provide a decent coffee which would not disappoint the diners. In conclusion this is a wonderful restaurant with magnificent food and I hope to keep returning with my girlfriend to try the different dishes. I hope they read my review because I truly believe they are close to being one of the best restaurants in London if they just refine a couple of things because it is a shame to see them let themselves down by a couple of easily rectifiable oversights. They have done all the hard work, they just need to jump the last hurdle and they will be victorious! Finally I just wanted to add that the service is very professional and very attentive without being a distraction and my compliments go to all the staff who work there for making it such a marvellous evening!

Scottish salmon for starter and ribeye steak for main . Great service from staff.The salmon was not the greatest but main was exceptional.

Being a restaurant within a casino, wasn't too sure what to expect. But presently surprised, great choice of food wine and was beautiful to taste.
