The Palm Atlantic City

The Palm Atlantic City is a dinner-focused choice for a classic Italian-American steakhouse meal with seafood in Atlantic City. At a price point of $90 per person, it makes the most sense for diners who want familiar steakhouse staples, seafood, Italian-American comfort dishes rather than a casual quick bite.

Book it if the priority is a classic steak-and-seafood dinner with a business-casual setting. The value proposition is clearest for diners who want broad coverage across steaks, seafood, Italian-American dishes. A solo diner can still do well here if the goal is a full steakhouse dinner, but the strengths are the cuisine, price point, hours, dress code, signature dishes.

Classic steakhouse appeal is the reason to choose it

The strongest reason to choose this restaurant is its familiar category: a classic Italian-American steakhouse with seafood. The signature dishes give diners several clear directions, from USDA Prime steaks and Prime Tomahawk Ribeye to Broiled Jumbo Maine Lobster, Lobster Macaroni & Cheese, Chicken Parmigiana, Veal Martini. That flexibility is the point.

First-timers should expect a traditional steakhouse choice rather than a narrow or highly experimental concept. If the goal is a full dinner built around steak, seafood, Italian-American standards, The Palm Atlantic City fits that brief. If the goal is something lighter, cheaper, or more casual, other Atlantic City dining may make more sense.

The restaurant also has outside recognition: a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2026. That is a useful confirmed accolade for diners comparing steakhouse options, though the most important decision here is still whether the $90 per person price point and classic steakhouse format match the meal you want.

Order broadly, but make the meal steak-and-seafood led

First-timers should keep the order focused on the strengths. The named dishes are exactly what the category promises: USDA Prime steaks, Broiled Jumbo Maine Lobster, Lobster Macaroni & Cheese, Prime Tomahawk Ribeye, Chicken Parmigiana, Veal Martini. This is not the place to chase novelty. It is the place to order recognizable steakhouse and Italian-American dishes.

That breadth also helps when diners at the same table want different things. A steak-only plan can become awkward when one person wants seafood or an Italian-American main; the dish list avoids that problem. For a first visit, a practical table strategy is to anchor the meal with a prime steak, add seafood if the group wants it, include an Italian-American dish such as Chicken Parmigiana or Veal Martini if that better fits the table.
