The Palm Washington DC

Book The Palm Washington DC when the plan calls for a Steakhouse, Seafood & Italian restaurant in Washington, D.C. The cuisine profile makes it a practical choice when one person wants a classic steak order, another wants seafood, someone else wants an Italian-leaning dish.

The named dishes to keep in view are Lobster Bisque, Chicken Parmigiana, Wagyu Lasagna, Prime New York Strip, Jumbo Lump Crab Cake, Palm Zeppole. That range is the clearest reason it can work for mixed groups.

Use it for groups that need range

The strongest reason to choose it is the range across steakhouse, seafood, Italian categories. For a group meal where preferences may vary, that breadth can matter more than a narrowly focused cuisine.

At $75 per person, the value case is clearest when the table uses the range: steak such as the Prime New York Strip, seafood such as the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake, a dessert like Palm Zeppole. The Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2026 is the clearest external recognition here. It is a good fit when recognizable dishes and a business-casual steakhouse-style meal matter.

The menu range is also useful for repeat diners. If the first visit was built around steak, the next move is to widen the table: Lobster Bisque or Jumbo Lump Crab Cake to start, Prime New York Strip for the steakhouse center of gravity, Chicken Parmigiana or Wagyu Lasagna if the group wants something outside a straight steak order.
