Society Table

Not good...not the absolute worst. Host was very nice, server was fine. Partner and i both agreed that our dish's ingredients seemed haphazardously chosen, not really combined into the dish. My shrimp tasted like chlorine. Other small issues not worth mentioning. However, i ordered mac and cheese to go and i didn't know one could ruin such a simple dish so badly. I spit out a raw brussels sprout, inedibly spicy, and pasta so separated from the sauce that it tasted like a bad vegan cheese sauce. For $18. I had saved for this hotel and dinner, and it was so disappointing.

During our stay at the Don CeSar we made reservations at Society table. You have the option to choose indoor or outdoor dining, we choose outdoor to enjoy the night breeze and beautiful views of the pink palace. We had a later in the evening reservation so we were ready to eat by the time we sat down but service was quick and the food came out shortly after. I ordered the American Red Snapper that was absolutely delish and very filling. My husband ordered the Whiskey Barbecue burger which he enjoyed as well. Out of the two main restaurants on the property, this and Maritana, we had a better experience at Society table in terms of the food selection, taste, portion size and of course the outside view. This restaurant is also open for breakfast and lunch.

Hey, I came here with my wife. I can’t say enough about Dee she was such an excellent server so kind and helpful with making a selection. We are visiting from michigan and this was our first time in St Pete. We had a great time at the Don Cesar and will be back. I got the shrimp orecchiette and she got the Peruvian chicken skewers. Both were excellent. In addition, I had the muscles. Chef Marvin was kind enough to let me special order them without the Thai chili. Yum yum yum. We also got an order of the mashed potatoes, which were really good too.

It’s fine. A little pricey but if you’re staying at The Don, it’s a very convenient and suitable option for any meal. The Red Snapper was surprisingly good and a good sized portion. If you order the Ceasar salad, get the dressing on the side as it’s very flavorful.

Our experience at Society Table was absolutely amazing — it truly saved our stay at the Don César. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of positive energy. We were lucky to be attended by Diana, Celeste, Julio, and a very hardworking Colombian lady whose name I didn’t catch — all of them were outstanding! They went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, respected, and happy. Their smiles, kindness, and professionalism made a huge difference. On our last night, Julio took care of us personally, and he was extremely attentive, polite, and genuine. You can tell he loves what he does. Diana and Celeste deserve special recognition — they are the heart and soul of this restaurant. Always kind, patient, and with a level of service that you simply don’t find everywhere. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and served with care. But what truly made this experience unforgettable was the people. They made us feel welcome and valued, something that’s priceless. If you visit the Don César, you must go to Society Table and ask for Diana, Celeste, Julio, and the amazing Colombian lady — they will make your day. They are, without a doubt, the best part of the entire hotel.
