What locals are saying
The Palmetto Cafe is an upscale breakfast-and-brunch spot inside the Belmond Charleston Place hotel, drawing a largely tourist and special-occasion crowd rather than a local regular base. Dishes like shrimp and grits, omelettes, and blueberry pancakes earn consistent praise, while multiple reviewers flag high prices and occasional inconsistency — particularly with the breakfast buffet, where items like Eggs Benedict have been reported as overcooked on repeat visits. Service is broadly described as attentive, though front-of-house staff (especially around parking validation) have drawn isolated complaints.
