I had the halibut with risotto and cheesecake brulee. Also a salad. The servers were respectful and helpful. Everything did taste great; only problem I had was with the portion size. I'm a mid-sized guy, but still felt a little hungry afterwards.

I’ve been here twice and really enjoy it. The food and drinks are great… on the pricier side though. The brunch came with the best starter bread and the espresso martini was great! Enjoyed the tuna starter. My only complaint is that prices are high, especially drink prices.

We had our wedding reception at this restaurant and it was honestly perfect. Corey, the event manager, was so responsive and helpful throughout the whole planning process—super easy to work with and made everything feel stress-free. The food and drinks were amazing—our guests are still talking about how good everything was. From the apps to the cocktails, everything was spot on. The staff was awesome, and the whole night ran so smoothly. The vibe, the service, the food—it all came together so effortlessly. We’re so happy we chose this spot for our celebration and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, well-run, and memorable place to host their event

Great Father's Day brunch at Charlie's. While we were very disappointed they weren't serving lunch and most dishes had egg in them even at 2PM, we managed to find what we liked and everything was delicious. The seafood tower, while expensive, was outstanding. Everything was fresh and delicious. It was also beautifully presented. The tuna appetizer was also very good, though too spicy. Ceasar salad was awesome. The main dishes were also very good, including the burger, steak sandwich, chicken sandwich and eggs benedict. Excellent desserts finished the meal with the doughnuts and bread pudding. Service was excellent and the decor is very nice as well. We will definitely be back for dinner.

Came here for Mother’s Day with my husband, my parents and my in laws and the vibes were immaculate. The food was delicious and Rosemarie was the best server we could’ve asked for. The brunch was fantastic. Please come here!!

We were in the area and decided to give it a shot loved it. We will definitely be back as well as checking in to see options for holiday gatherings. Atmosphere was rustic and warm. Very cozy, yet classy.

The restaurant was beautiful inside and our waitress was great. The food was just mediocre, but the desserts were fantastic. We had the warm feta dip and burrata for appetizers. The warm feta dip was very good, but the naan it came with tasted stale. It was dry and hard. The burrata wasn’t a good quality one, and it was served cold. For dinner we the gnocchi cacio e Pepe and the halibut. The gnocchi cacio e Pepe was TERRIBLE! It looked like gnocchi soup! The sauce was a liquid consistency not creamy how it’s supposed to be. The liquid covered the entire dish! You can see in the picture I took of it. The halibut was good, but the risotto was bland and mushy. For desserts we had the cheesecake and the chocolate chip cookie in a skillet. The cheesecake was OUTSTANDING! The cookie in a skillet was very good! I saw a lot people ordering burgers here. I’d possibly come back to try the burger and desserts only.
