Anchored by an overpopulated bar and dripping with chandeliers, the Palace is the Tom Douglas restaurant locals—and other chefs—like best. The huge menu encompasses Americana comfort food in a globe’s worth of forms, from carbonara to a duck liver s’more to the justly famous half-pound burger royale. Palace had a wood grill long before they became a thing, as evidenced by the perfectly crispy chicken. But the place’s inimitable energy may be the even bigger draw, from the fleet of hospitable servers and patrons who can’t believe they’ve found a scene still roaring—and serving—at 1am.
