Located near downtown Arlington Heights IL, and just minutes from the Metra station, Palm Court brings a timeless classic ambiance alongside a tantalizing menu that combines American cuisine with European influences.

Palm Court has received rave reviews since the restaurant opened its doors over 40 years ago for its ambiance, friendly service, and relaxed atmosphere.

A highlight of the restaurant is the lounge area, a comfortable place to unwind, relax, meet up with friends as you listen to piano and live music every Friday and Saturday night.

Our chef has been creating alluring dishes for Palm Court since its inception in 1979, and our chef-driven menu includes timeless favorites like filet medallions, crisp Long Island Duck, Veal Oscar and Dover Sole. No dinner is complete without Palm Court’s signature dessert, Brandy Ice!

The bar offers a wide array of wines, cocktails, specialty martinis and imported and domestic beers.

Our brand new patio is now available!

Saganaki bland. Food overall good and hot. We had the Blackhawk Filet, Beef Wellington and Rack of Lamb. French Onion soup disappointing - i.e. no cheese and lukewarm. Maybe need to purchase ala carte to get cheese. No offers for cracked pepper on salads. Server nice enough but very slow. Needed to ask someone to find her to come to take our entree order. When she did come she was rushed. Most attentive close to end of meal for "tip" of which we gave 20% cash. .Tables too close and not enough room to move chairs. In notes for reservation stated commemorating 10th anniversary of my husband and sons father death. No acknowledgement at all which isn't the case with other restaurants. We were looking forward to going here but disappointed . Furthermore when we left your mgmt didn't even have the decency to say good bye and thank us for coming. Not the Palm Court that I had heard so much about in the past.

I ordered Chicken Picata . It was covered in garlic! Never did I have that dish with any garlic on it. The rest of my party said all their meals had garlic on them. Horrible.

Our waitress was not very attentive! She came and got our drink order and then disappeared! We were there for a half hour before she took our food order! Then my husband kept getting up to find help!
