Charleston Grill
Situated within the elegant Belmond Charleston Place hotel, Charleston Grill is arguably one of the best restaurants in the Holy City. Step through the stained-glass French doors into a comfortably chic dining room room lined with dark wood-paneled walls and marble floors. The live jazz that permeated the venue seven days a week adds to the classy, Old World atmosphere.
Helmed by Alabama-born chef Michelle Weaver, the kitchen churns out Southern plates with an international flair. Classic dishes like crab cakes and tomato tarts speak to the restaurant's Charleston roots, while global fare such as south Indian fish with pudina chutney, and ahi tuna aguachile show off the skills of this talented team.
