    Went for their New Year's Day brunch buffet. Everything we tried was very good. Sweet and savory - bread pudding, creme brulee french toast, ham-n-cheese eggs, bacon, shrimp pasta, corned beef & cabbage, shrimp & grits, prime rib, smoked pork loin, country style ribs, boiled shrimp, salad items, desserts, waffles and much more...$45 per person plus 18% gratuity at all tables. A glass of champagne or mimosa was included. Water glasses were kept full by our friendly and attentive server. Also given free small beignets to take home. It may be a little pricey for some budgets, but I highly recommend Palmetto's! Go hungry and you'll still struggle to taste all their tasty offerings. We sat where a Jazz musician played "outside" and it was very comfortable with the beauty of the bayou outside. A+ experience overall.

    Brunch & Bloody Mary’s were excellent. Service by Mason was exceptional. Mason lined up an impromptu tour of the distillery with the distiller. She was very passionate about her craft & was very informative about the processes. The overall experience was wonderful. Thank you!

    Everything was excellent. Food portions were on the smaller side, and for the price it’s not a great value… however everything was executed perfectly and our waitress was wonderful.
