The management of San Juan's most elegant hotel invited the Palm, a legendary New York steakhouse, to open a branch on the premises. The setting includes a stylish, masculine-looking saloon, where drinks are stiff, and a dining room with artfully simple linen-covered tables and caricatures of local personalities. If you've hit it big at the nearby casino, maybe you'll want to celebrate with the Palm's famous and famously pricey lobster. Otherwise, there's a tempting number of options, all served in gargantuan portions: jumbo lump crabmeat cocktail; Caesar salad; lamb chops with mint sauce; grilled halibut steak; prime porterhouse steak; and steak "a la stone," which finishes cooking on a sizzling platter directly atop your table. One thing is certain -- you'll never go hungry here.
