    My best friend and I celebrated my birthday with lunch at The Charlotte, and it was such a wonderful experience. We ordered the spicy vodka pasta and the Cajun truffle malfadine, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The restaurant was stunning during the day, and I imagine it would be even more beautiful at night. I highly recommend visiting, whether it’s with someone special or a group of friends.

    The service is extraordinary. Everyone we interacted with especially our main server John Paul was gracious and attentive. We tried a couple of the canapes, unique and yummy. the ceasar is enough for 4 to share and the Corn and Truffle Beignets were a great beginning. the flavors were bold perhaps more sauces than we might usually enjoy on the mains. the broccolini had ginger dressing which was one of our favorites. the Sundae for dessert capped the evening! as others have mentioned it is "pricey" plan to drop over $200 per person.

    It was the last night of St Henry’s pop up so we were not expecting everything to still be available but it was! The food was excellent and the service was exceptional. Such a wonderful experience plus not crowded! It was freezing outside but the covered patio was beautifully decorated and warm. We have come for the past few years to this event and it keeps getting better! Highly recommend for next holiday season!
