Charming
Good for special occasions
Great for fine wines

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.

Service from Melanie was friendly and professional. Pacing was good and the food, as always, beautifully presented and delicious. Lunch is an incredible value. Charlies is consistent and one of our very favorite spots.

We had a 715 reservation and were seated next to a large very noisy table. It was difficult to hear anything the waitress was saying My Parmesan crusted cod was dry. The owner was made aware and brought us a mushroom sauce for it. While it helped, I was given only about 2 tablespoons of the sauce which helped, but didn't cover the fish. I was disappointed in Charlie's ! I would give it 3 stars!

Another delicious meal at Charlie's. Great seafood options on the menu. The Sheepshead fish was amazing as well as the Red Fish. We will be back, this is the best seafood restaurant in the Low County!
