Focusing predominately on fresh local seafood with a French, Lowcountry flare, Charlie’s is the place for good food, good wine and unforgettable memories all enjoyed in a quaint French country atmosphere.A Savannah native, Charlie Golson’s interest in the French language and culture took him to Paris. After a long stint in the fast paced hotel kitchens of Washington DC, he was ready to move back closer to home. It was at that time he was able to open up a one room French bistro. The restaurant has grown over the years, but the ‘Green Star’ remains steadfast in offering the finest ingredients the Low country has to offer with a menu that is hand written daily. Resort Casual.

    Our Absolute “Go To” restaurant on the island! Everything about Charlie’s is fantastic. The menu entrees are changed daily depending on availability of their fish options. We have had many of the appetizers but generally go back to their escargot. You will always have a great entree and the Pave’ Chocolat for dessert is a must try. Highly Recommended!!!

    This was my first time at Chez George. I took my better half there on Valentines day and the experience was amazing. This family run French Restaurant was perfect. From the escargot to the Beef Bullion and everything inbetween, our experience was delightful. The service was friendly, and the chef even came out to speak with us. The place is filled with happy vibes and I look forward to returning to Chez George again. Chris dewey

    This was our second visit to the Market Cafe. Looking forward to a return visit. We had a mix of orders from the happy hour menu and regular menu. We all loved our meals, the happy hour pizza is delicious, the caprese salad, chicken parm all very tasty. Our waitress Destiny was excellent, pacing of getting our drinks and then ordering was very nice. New fav happy hour!
