This was my first time dining here, and it was an absolutely lovely experience. We chose to sit at one of the outdoor tables, which was a perfect choice for a peaceful and relaxing meal. What I Liked (Pros): Atmosphere: The outdoor seating area had a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere that made the dinner feel special. Service: From the moment we arrived, the service was excellent. The staff was attentive, friendly, and efficient. Menu: I was impressed with the variety on the menu; there were plenty of interesting options to choose from. Food Quality: Most importantly, the food was very good. Every dish we had was well-prepared and delicious.
First time. We sat in the bar area for dinner. Food is delicious and fresh. Our server Keri was amazing. She paid attention to every detail and made sure our drinks were replenished. Mike the owner is right on top of everything. We will be back.
My husband and I really like Charlie’s. The food is always really good and they have great happy hour specials. The drinks are always great and Gina and Joelle are excellent bar tenders.. very friendly and attentive and make the best drinks!
We visited with our two children (9 & 12) for my wife’s birthday. All round excellence. Table ready on time, service timing excellent (not too quick or slow), food and cocktails great, relaxed and very enjoyable atmosphere. Bar Spring decorations cool too. Well done. 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌
My friend and I love visiting new places in the area, we decided this place was next. We had the power salad, boneless wings, truffle fries, and spicy tuna rice. All the food was great, the fries and wings in particular, the specialty cocktails were also good. Best of all though, was Abby, fantastic service and she made us great drinks. She made us feel so welcomed, thank you Abby!
So astheticly pleasing. My Cesar salad tasted as good as the picture looked online. Our server went above and beyond for us (I believe he was the manager) and the service in general was very good and prompt. Will return with more gfs!
We had such a wonderful experience at Charlie’s Place yesterday! We stopped in for an early dinner yesterday without a reservation, and the staff was incredibly accommodating and welcoming from the start. The food was absolutely amazing—everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. But what really made our visit stand out was our server, Melanie. She was so knowledgeable about both the menu and drinks, which made ordering easy and enjoyable. Even more importantly, she was incredibly attentive—regularly checking in on us and making sure our two young daughters were happy and taken care of. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience or a more thoughtful server. Melanie made us feel right at home. We’re already looking forward to coming back again soon!
My husband and I absolutely love this place and are so lucky to have this wonderful restaurant in our town. We went in for brunch last minute and the service was top notch. The food and drinks were delicious and we loved the decor and vibe. We will definitely be back soon!
What a great place. The bar/high top area has a very cool vibe. The food was absolutely delish. The pork belly bao buns were unbelievable and the chicken Milanese the best I’ve had. The owner made us feel very welcomed. We will be back very soon.
Charlie’s is a hidden gem tucked away in a non descript strip of establishments. If it didn’t have the neon sign, you wouldn’t notice it. This place is such a vibe and worth every bite, penny and minute. I took my parents for an early happy hour Friday night. My parents are pretty picky eaters but they loved everything and wiped their plates. The whipped ricotta, crispy tuna rice, calamari and beef tacos were standouts. Simple dishes with layers of flavor and generous portions. Would absolutely go back and cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you for serving us!
