   Great great service. Kinda lame to tell us our table was reserved 90 minutes after seating. At 90 minutes restaurant was only half occupied with no one waiting. No press to get us out which ended up ok. Mussels, wine, little gem salad were outstanding. Steak dinner and pork chop very good:

   French fusion. Nice ambiance. We got mussels and fries. Fries were plain despite being fried in beef fat and they did nothing to elevate the kewpie mayo on the side. Mussels were bitter and lacked seasoning. Just go for the drinks, dessert, and the vibe. Sit at the bar.

   The host kept putting parties so close together in the restaurant and there were plenty of other tables to space us out. Other than that I would definitely comeback here with friends and family!

   This is a beautiful, busy, popular restaurant, with good food and service. Lots of energy. Staff is competent, happy, and attractive. Reservations are a must, I saw lots of people turned away at the door. We had the pork chop which was excellent. We tasted a couple of fancy drinks on the menu which were innovative and fun. This is the perfect spot for a pre-show supper and an ideal date night location.

   We have been to Palmetto twice, and this was definitely the last time. Both occasions we decided to have dinner before a show at the Fox, and both times it was impossible to receive, or manage to eat our entrees in time before the show started, although our reservation was at 6:15. Worst of all was the condescending and rude waitress who literally lectured us that other people eating there were also going to the show and weren't apparently bothered by the time crunch. We waited over 35 minutes to receive entrees, even after ordering everything at once on the waitperson's advice. She never apologized, or seemed to care that we wanted to leave in time for the start of the show at 7:30. Our main courses showed up at 7:20, so I had mine boxed. Palmetto is overrated, overpriced, and has very rude unacceptable service.

   Service was amazing and so thoughtful—they sent us little coups of champagne for our wedding anniversary. The vibe is super fun and the perfect place to go before a show at the Fox. I’ll fantasize about the figs with Greek yogurt and honey—soooo good!

    We had high expectations for Palmetto but, unfortunately, we were disappointed on every level. We waited nearly an hour for our entrees. The $48 strip steak wasn’t as advertised. It was tough and hard to cut and chew and wasn’t a strip steak. We asked if the salmon was spicy and was told no but the person who ordered it reported that it was too spicy for her. The nonalcoholic beer actually had alcohol. All in all a big disappointment.

    I have been really looking forward to going to Palmetto for a while now. Unfortunately there were several issues. The food was excellent so for a restaurant that is certainly one of the most important aspects. Like many restaurants now, they seemed to be short staffed, the result, our wait staff was not particularly friendly and slow to respond or check in. I had heard the ambiance of the restaurant was one of the best in the Bay Area, my expectations may have been too high. Again the food was delicious and well presented, but other characteristics did not live up.

    The ambience was my style, very old fashioned. We were seated at the booth and felt very cozy. Our waitress Katy Perry was Orlando blooming with her vibrant personality and very attentive. Over all great service. The salmon dish was delish and the steak made it all gravy. The cocktails was rye on point, made me feel like James Dean with a rebel with a "cause". Perfect place to feel like your on memory lane.

    When we first walked in, we were unsure about our choice because it looks like cute diner. However, once the food came, we had our socks blown off! How is it possible to make fries that delicious?!? My husband had the steak, and I had the salmon and both were phenomenal! Every single thing we ordered was delicious, and our waitress was great! We will definitely be back.

    They have the most beautiful aesthetic - unfortunately that is the only thing we liked. I went with a group for my birthday last night and our server was so incredibly rude, maybe because the tip is included or maybe she was just having a bad day but it was pretty shocking. I booked the reservation for 6 people but only 5 ended up coming and they charged me $15 which was pretty wack. Food was ok but not worth like $40 a plate - one of the dishes came out cold but maybe it was supposed to be? I don't know because I literally was too uncomfortable asking the server ANY question at all. Overall would not recommend - place is way overhyped.

    We celebrated my husband's birthday with friends at Palmetto last night. Young and hip with a great cocktail menu, Palmetto has a new agey diner atmosphere. Food was good and portions were generous - especially loved the cantaloupe sorbet for dessert. Would go back again, especially if there was a an outdoor dining option, which there was not last night.

    Not sure what happened last night. They were rushing all the tables and picking up food while you were still eating! NOT my first time, so I’m not sure what happened last night. Overall, it was good! On the food, they have all these ingredients in the food. However, you can't taste it. Like the grapefruit in the cauliflower could not take it, the vanilla in the cream for the cookies can not taste it.

    Seasonal, delicious options that will satisfy all special eaters (Vegan, Vegetarian, Keto). Our group of 4 enjoyed special cocktails, appetizers entrees and dessert all worth returning for. Highlights: roasted sunchokes, garlicky escargot, spicy mussels with chorizo and the roasted curry fish. 5 out of 5 stars!
