    Cocktails and burrata salad were very good. The kitchen was very slow, and it took an hour before our entrees arrived.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our experience at The Charles was nothing short of exceptional! Jonathan greeted us at Bar Charles, setting the tone with perfectly crafted cocktails and a welcoming atmosphere. From there, we were escorted to the main restaurant, where Chris took outstanding care of us at Table 12 (hands down, the best seat in the house!). The team truly impressed us—Rome, another fantastic server, and Nathan, the manager, stopped by to ensure everything was perfect. The food? Absolutely divine. The pasta was heavenly, the branzino fish perfectly cooked, the polenta creamy and flavorful, and the profiteroles were the ideal sweet finish. This was a 10/10 dining experience, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommend The Charles for anyone looking for an unforgettable evening!

    We recently went to celebrate our work Christmas party, and we were pleasantly surprised. Starting from beginning to end, everything about The Charles was excellent. We will definitely be back. I can't remember our waiter's name, but he was great. He explained all the dishes for us and made some excellent recommendations.

    Seem like a wait staff was new..  not the service I’ve had here in the past. Drinks were slow, food was very fast (too fast, before drinks). Food was good but not great. Chalking it up to an off night.
