PALMETTO – One downtown area in Southwest Florida that is often overlooked is Palmetto. It’s a historic, turn of the century town that is today best known for its tomato packing plants.
The downtown area is slowly improving. For visitors, there are restaurants along the waterfront include the Riverhouse Reef and Grill, which overlooks the Manatee River. There is ample parking, and a decent place to stroll among the boats along the water before or after the meal.
