The Palm at the Hard Rock Hotel isn’t the kind of place you visit casually, it’s a special-occasion steakhouse with caricatures on the walls, crisp white linens, and the sort of atmosphere where tuxedo-level chicken parmesan should exist. And it does. This is “elevated parm”: a perfectly pounded cutlet, beautifully breaded, with ideal cheese-to-sauce balance and a bright, refined marinara. It’s indulgent and elegantly executed, and yes, the $40 price tag reminds you you’re not in a neighborhood trattoria. An excellent meatball parm starter and a flawless tiramisu seal the deal. For those who believe parm can be luxury, The Palm proves it.
