Excellent pork chop! Every restaurant at Charleston Place Hotel has great meat and PC is no exception. Service was friendly and atmosphere was appropriate for the cafe-if looking for more luxe go to the Charleston Grill or Thoroughbred Club. Palmetto Cafe fit the bill for what we were looking for!

Palmetto cafe, i adore you and your perfect staff. The staff is so kind, attentive, efficient. Everything you would want for an experience. Every time we visit Charleston, i must do their breakfast buffet. It has become a nonnegotiable. It is so delicious and well done, i would say it triumphs my old favorite breakfast buffet at the four seasons. It is THAT good. The dessert table alone along with the live music, i could stay all day. Each time we have had the sweetest waiters and i look forward to coming back 100 times more.

Absolutely love this Cafe for lunch! The Steak Tartare is so flavorful! You can order many other exceptional lunch choices! Coffee is excellent as well as the service and atmosphere.

Most bizarre experience,EVER! Abbreviated version - horrible service, waiter never came around to clear plates, refill drinks, or just check in during the entire 90 minutes our party of 10 was dining. Started service by accusing us of lying about the age (12) of one of the minors, culminated with him trying to steal $500 from two of us paying cash and threatening to fist fight one of the guys in our party. Appeared to be impaired by drugs, alcohol, or something, can't be sure but he seemed pretty out of it. BIZARRE!!! In the end, the manager ended up comping our meals. Not sure what happened to the waiter after two other employees physically removed him from our area. What a memorable 70th birthday celebration! Photos of table before the huge ruckus - as you can see not a plate was cleared.

Grossly overpriced. We’ve eaten here several times and absolutely loved the breakfast buffet. This morning it was completely different than past experiences. Far less options and double the price. For two adults and one child it was almost $200 after the tip. Still a great atmosphere and great service, but food was only average. I’m one to splurge on good food, but this is not worth it.

The breakfast buffet is back! Only on Saturday and Sunday. I highly suggest reservations. They start serving at 9:00am. You can go before and order off the menu. So many wonderful choices to choose from. The service is impeccably on point. They cater to everything in your needs. Asking for bread and sauces. Best coffee ☕ and peach tea. There's little of everything for dietary needs. I love how they transform the room and add fresh flowers. Must have for a special occasion.Parking: If you eat at the restaurant, you can get a parking pass

This is a beautiful location! Delicious brunch! I can honestly say I loved the brunch menu and set up prior to the remodel but it still has really delicious brunch.It is a staple event (to go to brunch here) when we travel so I will probably go back and see if they tweaked the menu any.On my last visit I did go for brunch buffet ( leaning more towards breakfast items) and the only breakfast item they had was omelettes. I was looking more so for scrambled eggs, pancakes or waffles ( which they had pre cooked cold waffle quarters beautifully arranged) like it used to have. That wasn't the case this time. I would still go back because the aesthetic,service and food are awesome.

Sunday brunch buffet. We’ve been a regular for Sunday brunch for years, going once or twice a month.The renovations are terrific and the brunch menu has truly kicked up even better than before. Item selections are extensive enough and the dishes are prepared world class, exceeding expectations for a brunch buffet style. Prices went up to $65 per person ( not unexpected) but I was surprised to be charged $6 each for two cups of coffee - pretty sure coffee should be part of the buffet.
