The
Palm
is
the
only
sit-down
restaurant
in
Terminal
4,
so
if
one
wants,
say,
a
proper
breakfast,
then
one
gets
exactly
3
choices,
of
which
the
All
American
(2
eggs,
1
breakfast
meat,
home
fries,
and
only
1
choice
of
toast)
costs
$25.
One
would
think
that
prices
like
that
would
warrant
decent
service
and
a
well-kept
restaurant.
What
we
got
was
a
polite-enough
waiter
who
couldn't
get
3
orders
straight,
then
said
he
would
bring
the
right
order
out
but
never
did,
and
a
hostess
who
asked
me,
twice,
to
lift
my
feet
off
the
ground
to
sweep
(nothing
was
broken).
The
coffee
cup
size
was
fit
for
a
double
espresso,
not
drip
coffee.
It
was
the
smallest
cup
I've
seen
this
side
of
the
Atlantic.
The
banquette
upholstery
has
seen
better
times--we
were
seated
where
there
was
a
large
stain,
perhaps
from
water
damage.
The
restaurant
is
really
understaffed,
and
waiters
seem
to
apologize
at
every
table
for
letting
the
customers
wait
to
take
their
orders,
and
for
food
arriving
late.
As
for
the
food,
it
was
charitably
mediocre:
oily
scrambled
eggs,
bacon
was
not
crispy,
and
the
only
kind
of
toast
offered
was
barely
toasted.
As
for
the
diminutive
cup
of
coffee,
it
was
borderline
unfit
for
consumption.
In
retrospect,
perhaps
a
better
option,
should
one
have
to
travel
via
Terminal
4
at
JFK,
would
be
to
go
to
Dunkin,
get
a
cup
of
coffee,
and
sit
at
the
gate.
If
this
is
the
optimum
choice
at
JFK,
then
one
has
to
admit
that
JFK
is
not
a
world-class
airport.
