takes on his new role after spending 14 years at the helm of The Palm Atlantic
City, where he oversaw all aspects of restaurant operations and its team
of 45 employees. Hired as Assistant General Manager in 2005, and promoted
to General Manager in 2006, he played a key role in the original design
for the restaurant and was instrumental in building its wine program, which
later earned him the title of Assistant National Director of Wines for
all Palm Restaurants. Sandler’s superior wine acumen has lead The Palm
Atlantic City to receiving the coveted Wine Spectator Award of Excellence
for 12 consecutive years. Prior to joining the Palm family, Sandler had
made a name for himself working for several other highly-respected restaurants
in Atlantic City, including Trump’s Castle Hotel and Casino, Cousin’s Country
House, Harrah’s Hotel Casino and The Showboat Casino Hotel. As a result,
Sandler has become a treasured and friendly face for The Palm’s many frequent
customers.
“I am looking forward to meeting all of The Palm’s past, current and future diners in Philadelphia and introducing them to our newly-remodeled restaurant and classic menu,” said Sandler. “Though we may look a little different when we open in July, my top priority will be showing customers the same exemplary service and fine cuisine that has been a Palm tradition for the last 90 years.” Taking the reins from Sandler as General Manager at The Palm Atlantic City will be current Assistant General Manager Anthony Romano, who will step into his new role at the restaurant starting this summer. Romano has spent nearly a decade in The Palm family – starting with a coveted internship at The Palm West Side in New York City, before graduating into management roles within several different locations along the East Coast, including The Palm East Hampton, The Palm Washington D.C., The Palm Philadelphia and most recently The Palm Atlantic City. During that time, he has become very well-known and respected in the local restaurant community, having been recognized and awarded the distinction of being one of the Top 40 Professionals Under 40 in Atlantic City. “We always want to give new opportunities to current members of our Palm family,” said Jeff Phillips, Chief Operating Officer and original General Manager for The Palm Philadelphia. “For over 90 years, The Palm has distinguished itself among steakhouses by creating close-knit relations with our customers and our teams, and it all starts with our GM at each location. Both Paul and Anthony bring a tremendous amount of experience in customer service, operations and quality oversight from their years working at The Palm Atlantic City, so we know our guests and our employees are in excellent hands.” Prior to closing its doors in February 2016 for renovations, The Palm Philadelphia had been a staple in the Center City dining scene for over 25 years—serving local families the best in USDA prime aged steaks, fresh seafood and honest Italian-American fare since 1989. Well-known for the infamous caricatures of celebrities and loyal customers that line its walls, which are receiving a modern “facelift” during the remodel, The Palm offered local Philadelphians the chance to claim their faces prior to demolition. Over 500 patrons and notable Philadelphia personalities submitted requests to save their caricatures.
