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.

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!

Charles never disappoints. The service is always fantastic. From when the hostess Pam greet you till your last bite of dessert, everything is perfect. Lucas was our server and he was fantastic. He knew so much about the wine and the menu. The escargot was as great as always, the lamb was perfect. The sheepshead was a generous portion and perfectly cooked.

We had three appetizers, the Fried Clams, the She Crab Soup and the Escargot. All were wonderful, served with delicious warm French Country Bread to soak up the juices or eat with butter. We also had a Chardonnay and Riesling to pair with them. Then we had the Seared Scallops and the Filet both served with a side salad with great dressing, mixed vegetables, and scalloped potatoes. We swapped plates half way through, so we both had a bit of surf & turf. I changed my wine to Cabernet which was wonderful with the beef. We split Carmel pie for dessert also great.
