   Food and drinks were delicious and unique. Our table server was wonderful and he provided great recommendations and service. One thing to note, Low Dive is connected to Palmetto and had a live band at 7pm on a Monday. The music was so loud we could no longer hear each other at the table. I suggest checking the music calendar at both restaurants if you want to have conversation during the meal. Overall an enjoyable experience and we will definitely be back.

   Palmetto, the concept sounds like a welcomed addition to the Asbury food circuit, - I mean fried green tomatoes, enticing cocktails, let’s go y’all! The restaurant looks great, it’s bright and airy, open, nautical without being cliche. There were lots of interesting choices on the menu. Started out with a few drinks off the cocktail menu. I don’t recall their given names , a pineapple Negroni for me, an Aperol spritz with a lots of additions for the wife, and a banana cold brew decaf mocktail for my suddenly fancy 10 year old. After about 20 mins, drinks arrived , they looked and tasted like a Negroni, an Aperol spritz, and a banana chocolate milk. They weren’t a swing and miss but the drinks were underwhelming. Our server , who was definitely friendly, helped guide us through our order and we were off. Starters came out , and were good. The fried green tomatoes were lightly fried, the aioli was fine. Lobster cocktail, chilled , sweet, good. The cornbread with lavender butter was warm and delicious. A nice light start to the meal, if we stopped there everybody’s happy. This is when the timing got interesting, finished the apps, and sat with empty drinks and plates for at least 25 mins, ok cool, it was a busy Sunday, it happens. Waved down a busboy and they cleaned off the table. 10 mins later when our server appeared and we ordered another round of drinks. The drinks came, some time after that our server let us know she was leaving, and another person would be helping us for the rest of the meal. We never met that new server, almost an hour later our food came out. Ribs - 1/2 rack -dry, fall off the bone but not in the way you want, yellow mustard binder was the most dominant taste.Corn Cacio de Pepe - we were really looking forward to this one. It was literally a bowl of mush, over cooked and sat in the window had that “film” on it. Lobster mac and cheese, same film, no salt, blah. Chicken sandwich- greasy, mushy, not good. 3.25 hrs, stomach aches, be better.

   We had an abysmal experience at Palmetto on Mother’s Day. I appreciate the place recently opened, but after having zero food on our table after an hour, we asked to speak with the manager. Unfortunately, he could not articulate when the food would be ready. All he could say is that they were doing their best. We put money on the table for our drinks, which included lemonade in a dirty glass for one of the kids and walked out. I wish no ill will on anybody, but cannot recommend this place.

   Felt bad cause been here before, but Mother’s Day was a disaster. They should have done smaller modified menu or not taken as many reservations. They ran out of deviled eggs as an app. We waited over an hour for our food only to be told they ran out of biscuits for my main. My husband ordered a lobster salad which one would think you can mess a salad up but they forgot the lobster and the walnuts weren't candied just plain.

    Food and drinks were delicious….service was a little slow and it was pretty loud. Get the hibiscus drink and the fried green tomatoes!
