I'm not much for meat, but I'm always interested in a proper restaurant maintaining late-night hours for drunk and sober dining alike.  Luckily, Bernalwood has the skinny on the new menu for the recently refurbished Palace Steak House:

…we received a tip from Herr Doktor on Monday, to the effect that a firm opening date for the Palace Steak House has been established. Eager to verify this tidbit, Bernalwood rushed to the Palace Steak House, where we had the good fortune to encounter the proprietor and his nascent serving staff, just as they were setting up to test-cook a few of the entrees on the menu.

Quickly, we were able to establish these facts:

• The new restaurant will indeed retain its former name: the Palace Steak House.
• The classic old sign will remain, but a new awning is on the way.
• The menu will consist of comforting middle-American favorites, such as steaks (duh), pasta, burgers, and sandwiches. For the morbidly curious, here is the full menu.
• All entrees will cost less than $15.
• The original PFSH sign in the window for New York Cut Steak will remain, but now with an updated price of $13.75.
• For the disco crowd, the restaurant plans to remain open until 3 am on most nights.
• The official opening will take place next week. Probably Wednesday, give or take a day or two.
