Old Hickory Steakhouse At Gaylord Palms Resort

This is a wonderful (very expensive) steakhouse located in the beautiful Gaylord Palms Hotel. The service is exceptional and the food is amazing. They offer hot and cold appetizers as well as a cheese selection that the fromagerie maitre’d will help you select off his rolling cheese cart. The steaks are large and excellent; the chicken dish was amazing as well. All the dinner sides are a la carte. Save room for dessert because they are just as amazing as the rest of the meal. The coffee even comes in a pressed pot and is so flavorful. more

This is a wonderful steakhouse on par with Ruth's Chris, Shula's or Charlie's. Perhaps even better. I had the surf and turf--a filet mignon and lobster tail. The filet was absolutely the best I've ever had. I could cut it with a fork--it practically melted in my mouth. The lobster was so sweet and perfectly cooked that it was two days before I realized that I never put butter on it. Delicious! I started with the lobster bisque which was also divine. Side dishes were a perfect complement and the cheese course and dessert were also wonderful treats. The wine list is excellent. This is a fantastic restaurant for a special occasion or important business meeting. It is expensive so it's probably not one you'd go to on a regular Friday night but when you're looking for an exceptional meal I would definitely consider this restaurant. more
