Ten Palms

My wife and I attended the races at Gulfstream Park last weekend and reserved a table at Ten Palms. It was a very nice experience (and that was refreshing considering last year we did Del Mar which in my opinion was far inferior to watching the races at Gulfstream Park). Our server was very attentive to us and the brunch had a nice variety of food. Ten Palms is a great way to watch the races as you get a great view from your table. The only thing that was unfortunate was the fact that they charge a 20% service charge to any patrons ordering food. Our server actually would have gotten a slightly larger tip as I usually give 20% on the total bill including the tax. The reason I say it is unfortunate is because management is doing a disservice to their workers. The new tax law giving servers the benefit of no income tax on tips up to $25,000 does not include service fees. In other words, if they just let me tip the usual way, they wouldn't pay any taxes but instead have to pay them on this mandatory fee. I hope someone in management reads this and makes a change for next year. It's really not fair to their staff.

Not worth the price. Someone should show the cooks how to make buffet style food edible. It looked worse and tasted like it looked . Regular drinks and coffee not included in the price. That's nickeling and diming you. The service was great.

Had a 3:30 reservation for Thanksgiving dinner with NY family of 6. At 3.15 I received a call from the restaurant telling me they are closing at 4 now and I only had 30 minutes to eat and then security would have to ask us to leave.. My daughter drove 45 minutes to eat dinner with us and we couldn't even eat.. I walked around and saw hardly any food left and they cleaning staff already cleaning up all the garbage.. I will never go back to this unprofessional establishment.. I am sure it will be closed down soon like the rest of Gulfstream. Terrible Management and a poor excuse for a fine restaurant.. Do not eat here ..

Went there on a Friday. The website indicates and hostess told us there is a $45 hour minimum per person on Fridays. They do not tell you that there is a 20% service charge added to the bill. This is neither on the website, nor mentioned by the hostess or the server, but instead is listed on the bill at the very bottom in small print. Our server was pleasant and incredibly slow. He struggled at times and was helped by his co-workers. Appetizers were good, main courses were mediocre. I did like the key lime pie. They had local craft beers on tap which I thought was nice. Go there for the view of the race track. If you go for the food and service you will be greatly disappointed.
