Fodor's Expert Review Old Hickory Steakhouse

This upscale steak house in the Gaylord Palms resort is designed to look like rustic cabins in the Everglades. Beyond the playful facade is a polished restaurant with a classic menu of steaks and chops. Try the cowboy rib eye, porterhouse, or center-cut fillet, priced for the hotel's convention goers. 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. Artisanal cheese plates are on the menu, and desserts are interesting, such as fudge-dipped derby pie.
