Had a wonderful lunch. It was not crowded. I have often enjoyed dinner there when it has been very busy. The food is excellently prepared and plated. I had the grilled octopus entre and it was perfectly cooked / moist and juicy. My friend had one of the most beautiful presentations of beef short ribs I have ever seen. Huge bone in. And the veal meat balls appetizer was also great 👍

My family had another great experience and we were lucky enough to have the same waiter. It’s sad to know this place is going away in February.

The Charles has the BEST Customer Service, hands down! EVERYONE was super polite, attentive, engaging and personable. Our server, Chelsey, gave the best feedback, learned our names, and even took beautiful pics for us. She's awesome & if she's a trainer for The Charles, then I know more wonderful servers will be produced. The ambiance was gorgeous, nice music, just the right amount of light, and the food was very flavorful. The "off the menu" items were delicious, especially the specialty pasta one of the young ladies made. Definitely a place to try!
