    We stumbled upon this place over a month ago after an exhausting day at Universal. We knew right away we were going back when we came at Christmas time. Had a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner. Everyone loved their meals! NY strip, salmon, fettuccini Alfredo, chicken Marsala and my all time favorites were the butternut squash ravioli & bruschetta. Also had the same server both times. Excellent!

    My husband and I went for dinner. We just wanted to eat great food and great service. We received it from the moment we entered. Tiara and Theresa greeted us with so much love. Our server, John, was taking care of us. We enjoyed our evening with the surf and turf what a treat it was. From the meatball to the desert, we absolutely was full. It was a great evening. Thank you, everyone, for making our dinner special. Thanks, Charley's team.
