my folks and I went to the Palmetto Cafe 2 days ago and the experience was lovely. I forgot her name , i wish i didn’t , but our waitress was so nice and attentive and always made sure we had everything we needed. the food was delicious and well worth it. I had the seafood salad, and the caesar salad.
I took my mom there for a surprise brunch. Logan was our server and he made it a very special moment for my mother and I. He took great pictures for us had great stories and made sure that our glasses were full.
The best seafood omelette in Charleston! I’m a local and enjoy the luxury and convenience of a fine experience. Thanks.

The Palmetto Cafe is a luxurious restaurant located within The Charleston Place hotel, offering a great variety of dishes. The menu features phenomenal steak and eggs and a huge turkey club. The decor is charming and reminiscent of scenes from Gone with the Wind, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff provides top-notch service, with attentive waitstaff like Rudy offering recommendations based on guest preferences. Recent reviews highlight the fantastic food and amazing drinks, contributing to a relaxing dining experience. Some dishes, such as the seafood omelette and crab cake benedict, received mixed comments—while the overall experience was enjoyable, some found the crab meat too salty and fishy. The shrimp and grits were praised as the best ever, with a flavorful twist and crispy shrimps. Mussels were perfectly cooked with a phenomenal, not-too-salty sauce. The turkey club was good, though some felt it had too much bread. Service was generally attentive, although a few reviews mentioned rude interactions at the parking validation station, which slightly affected the overall impression. Located downtown, it’s an ideal spot for a meal after shopping at local shops, offering high-quality food and excellent service despite some minor imperfections.
