Reviews Summary
Society Table offers a historic dining experience with praised coastal cuisine and excellent service, particularly for breakfast. However, some recent reviews note a decline in service quality and find the pricing inconsistent with the food quality. While many enjoy the ambiance and specific dishes like calamari fries, others have been disappointed with mediocre meals and an uncomfortable atmosphere.
"Excellent service. Very friendly and knowledgeable servers. Ate breakfast here every day during our stay at the Don Cesar. Highly recommend!"
Dr. Maggie Augustyn
"I hosted a business dinner at the restaurant and was so excited to return since last year. Quickly realized that the level service does not exist anymore than it once did. When I arrived, I asked for a table for three and no one smiled, no one gave a warm greeting, no one made eye contact just asked us to follow them. The restaurant was nearly empty but seemed well staffed however drink orders were wrong several times, wrong food was brought out, server had forgotten about putting in our orders and repeatedly asked us if we had made our decisions after we had told him multiple times. All employees seemed outright annoyed with being at work and made for a super uncomfortable environment. Food was mediocre, drinks nothing special, and please tell me why the valet was the most pleasant part of our experience. I will not be bringing anyone to The Don anymore."

The New Space is Finally Open a Year after the Hurricanes After Hurricane Helene dumped nearly six feet of water into the Don CeSar on St. Pete Beach on September 26, 2024, they finally reopened the hotel on March 28, 2025. Right around the time the hurricane hit was when the Don’s newly revamped restaurant, Society Table was opening. We were actually tentatively scheduled to go after they figuratively got their feet wet in the kitchen.
St. Pete Travel Guide
If you’re staying at The Don Cesar, I’d also recommend their Society Table restaurant for lunch. I know that sometimes hotel restaurants can be hit and miss, but I’d read ahead of our trip that The Don’s restaurants are excellent, and I have to agree. We each enjoyed a cocktail out on the patio and split their Beet Salad and Mushroom Flatbread.
