THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Palmetto Restaurant Review:
Chef Andy Kitko has assembled a small menu of simple crowd-pleasers: beef and pork meatballs in a bright red tomato sauce that are meltingly moist; paper-thin ruby slices of beef, classically served with peppery arugula, capers, Parmesan and tart, creamy mustard dressing; feathery-light and crispy black truffle risotto balls ooze with Fontina and are smartly paired with refreshing celery root salad. Pastas include a fresh linguine with briny clams, pancetta, garlic and chili flakes; and standout butternut squash ravioli with brown butter-sage and amaretti cookies. Generously portioned entrées include a rich, traditional cassoulet of white beans, hunks of braised pork, duck leg confit and Toulouse sausage; vegetarian chickpea stew with braised artichokes, kale and quinoa is everything a vegetarian dish should be---satisfying, flavorful, and you don’t miss the meat. The wine list, under the direction of master sommelier Alan Murray, is small but well chosen to suit the Mediterranean-influenced menu. The inventive cocktail selection includes a New Orleans-classic Sazerac and the Green Lantern (vodka, fresh basil and lime). Servers are friendly and laid-back. The large building still feels a little awkward, though porcelain tile walls, teak floors, bright fabrics and the red-glowing votives help warm it up, but the cozy atrium is the best spot in the house.
