The Brown Palace's fine-dining restaurant offers sophisticated food and exquisite service in and old European-style romantic tradition.

Decor in this luxurious restaurant includes rich carpeting, white-clothed tables, padded leather booths and banners emblazoned wih coats of arms placed around the room. Tuxedoed servers and an army of backup bussers wait on couples and small groups quietly celebrating special occasions. Each dish boasts the influence of France--from the foie gras appetizer flavored with tart cabernet cherry sauce to buffalo filet in rosemary veal reduction with Gorgonzola gratinee.

Palace Arms requires a jacket for dining, but if you forget yours, the host has a few extra in the closet.
