181 Palmer

Description:

• 181 Palmer is the Culinary Institute of Charleston's dining room on its downtown campus. The facility's design, highlighted by bold lines and bright colors, garnered LS3P Associates an Honor Award, the American Institute of Architect's highest. Inside 181 Palmer's sparkling glass walls, tables are dressed in crisp linens and Stolzle stemware, state-of-the-art technology streams in action from the kitchen, and skilled CIC students produce and serve a seasonal prix fixe menu for a value that Southern Living magazine labeled "How to Save Money on Fine Cuisine." (Please note: Because both the dining room and the student-run kitchen of 181 Palmer are classrooms, the days and hours of operation are determined by the college's calendar.)
