   All of the food was very salty. The steaks were prepared well and to the correct doneness.

   I expected more from a place this expensive. To be fair the food was good, though overpriced for what it was. Past that, unfortunately, they just totally blew it on the details. Dirty plates, terrible beer selection (Peroni is a light-damaged skunked beer, canned Guinness for $11?, get a nice crisp pilsner in there and a strong ale to pair with seafood and steak respectively), little things like a lack of check presenters and huge buckets taking up table space to push sales of Voss and San Peligrino, perhaps most disappointing were the short pours on already grossly overpriced spirits (and no it wasn’t just the big glass, I know what 1.5oz is - use a jigger), tacky music, blank walls in small overcrowded rooms. If you are planning to check this place out do it when it’s nice outside and you can enjoy their beautiful patio. The baked brie was great but nothing you can’t make at home for pennies on the dollar. The salmon was superb, scallops were fantastic, just an underwhelming experience overall given the price.

   We have eaten at Charleston Draper and have generally had wonderful experiences...this was not one of those. First of all, OpenTable took a 4:30 reservation, but the restaurant didn't open until 5:00. Since no one from the restaurant contacted us, we waited in the parking lot for 45 minutes. A muffled apology was the only response from the staff, and no accommodation was given, Secondly, it was the main chef's birthday, apparently and he was not there. This may explain the decline in food quality. We had the artichoke soufflé, which we have had many times to our delight...not this time. It was as if cream or cheese was missing from the regular recipe. The French onion soup was only so-so, with very bland broth and limited overall flavor. Again, we had enjoyed this before, but not this time. The crab and filet were only so-so again. The meat lacked flavor, and without the accompanying juice, it would have been a disaster. The beef was poorly trimmed and had a grisel to it. The service was not up to par either... We were there for an anniversary celebration, which we had included in our reservation. However, no mention of a special occasion was ever made. While filling my water glass, the waiter poured half a pitcher of ice and water onto the table and my lap. Summary... We won't be back for a long time; it's time to find another go-to special restaurant.

   What a restaurant! We felt like royalty from the moment we walked through the door to the moment we left. Thank you Marco and staff.

   Our server was Mark: knowledgeable, attentive and witty. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the service we received was bar none. Chef Marco’s menu ALWAYS pleases the eyes and the palate. My hubby and I love The Charleston for date nights and any special occasion.

    I had the best lamb of my life at Charleston last week. By far the best restaurant I have ever been. Everything is perfection. The service, the food, the ambiance, the cutlery, everything. Congratulations to Chef Marco.
