The Palmetto Cafe - Charleston

As our culinary tour continues from charleston, we have experienced palmetto cafe for brunch today. simply brilliant from beginning to end. the cappuccino was the beginning of a great meal. then came the acai bowl with fresh berries and nuts on the side. wow. we were ready to charge the tore! then the entrees including rib-eye and eggs, gänse and a single blueberry pancake with fresh butter and warm syrup perfect steak, eggs and pancake! this was among the best breakfasts I have ever eaten, served warm and personal and qualitatiw high quality start to finish in a beautiful environment. we will not return cheaply, but they will get what they pay!

Lovely! Pretty, bright setting. Excellent professional service, not a single missed beat, perfect timing, questions answered, thoughtful recommendations. All the little touches that you've stopped expecting in this age of diminished dining experiences happen here, and then some. Brioche buns and fancy butters were an unexpected treat and a delicious way to start. Soup arrives hot at the table in one of those little heated metal vessels then poured into bowl. Tasting provided even with a glass of wine, also poured at the table. Wine was perfect, well above the usual choices. Food was excellent, mushroom and she crab soup in particular. Salads are very large, even the 1/2 portion is almost too much. The Palmetto Sampler is fun, a great value with a bunch of favorites presented in cute delicious generous mini portions.

Yum, love it! It’s so easy to enjoy breakfast every morning when staying at The Charleston Place. A complete menu, and the staff have always been kind enough to let me order “non-menu” items when I’m feeling them. Great food and attentive staff.

I ordered the shrimp and grits. They were under seasoned and the grits were undercooked. Food was overpriced for what it was. 27 dollars for this dish. I also tried the chicken breast on the lunch menu. The lentils were good, but the chicken was dry and chewy like it was under a warming lamp for a long time. Also the waitor was very handsy touching my back and shoulders everyone he came to our table. I won't visit again.

My husband and I had an excellent breakfast here. The Palmetto Cafe is inside the Charleston Place hotel, which itself was a site to behold strolling through the lobby! I enjoyed my bagel with smoked salmon, and my husband really liked his corned beef omelette. We had hoped to sit in the courtyard but it was too cold. Happily, we were able to take our breakfast drinks into the courtyard after eating to enjoy it briefly before we got too cold. I would have loved to dine outside, though. Maybe you will be lucky enough to be there when it is warm enough... but not too warm. Diners ranged from being very casually dressed to wearing sportcoats.
