Fodor's Expert Review Old Hickory Steakhouse

This upscale steak house in the Gaylord Palms Resort is designed to evoke rustic cabins in the Everglades, but beyond the playful facade is a polished, dinner-only restaurant with a classic menu of steaks and chops. Try the cowboy rib eye, porterhouse, or center-cut fillet, priced for the hotel's conventioneers. The chef gets creative with a few appetizers like braised pork belly with black-eyed pea succotash, but most are standards such as onion soup, shrimp cocktail, and wedge salad. The menu also features artisanal cheese plates, as well as interesting desserts, such as fudge-dipped derby pie.
