Okay, foodies, you know I'm always on the hunt for the next best thing in Rochester, and let me tell you, I think I've found it! Tucked away beneath the already amazing Our Paladar on 4th Street Southeast is a brand new gem: The Palmetto Room.
Imagine this: you descend the stairs and are instantly transported to a sultry Havana rum bar. The air is thick with the scent of exotic spices and the clinking of glasses. This is exactly the vibe I got when I stepped into this dimly lit, intimate space.
Chef and co-owner Kiefer Manning told me all about their inspiration for this new concept. Think a curated selection of rums from across the Caribbean, specialty cocktails, and casual fare with a Cuban twist.
Now, let's talk about the food! You HAD to know I'd get to that eventually, right? They've got smash burgers, Juicy Lucys, Cubanos... and get this... YUCA FRIES! Seriously, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Also do not miss the Happy Hour from 4-6PM.
But the real star of the show? A banana-infused Old Fashioned. Yep, you read that right. Bananas! 🍌 It's their unique take on a classic, with a Caribbean flair, and it's absolutely divine. You can find this on the menu called Cuckoo Bananas. A full link to the menu is here for you.
The Palmetto Room isn't just about the food and drinks, though. It's about the experience. It's the perfect spot for a romantic date night, a fun gathering with friends, or even a private event. They're open for corporate events, social gatherings, and even weddings!
