The Palm

Though we'll forever mourn the closing of the original Palm in West Hollywood, the Beverly Hills location is a nice consolation. The cavernous dining room is a great spot for big, spendy company dinners that involves tomahawk ribeyes and veal chops, but the best time to come here is actually during lunch. This is when they roll out their "Power Lunch" menu, a three-course meal for $29 that includes an appetizer, entree, and dessert. Springing for the six-ounce filet is an extra $15, but considering you're eating lunch on Canon Drive, it's an excellent value. Plus, it comes bathed in their famous brandy peppercorn sauce.
