    A beautiful night at The Charles! This little gem is one of our favorites. We decided to spend our New Years Eve here and could not have been happier. Such a great vibe! The ambience is amazing. The staff is super friendly, warm and welcoming. Elegant, but not stuffy. Great music playing through out - not too loud - just right for a festive night. Our server Jill was spot on with her recommendations and just the right amount of attention and interaction. Nate, one of the managers came over a couple of times to welcome us personally and make sure everything was to our liking. The NYE special menu offering was awesome! Delicious starters, pastas, main course and desert. We woke up on NY day saying to one another - WE'RE SO HAPPY we went to The Charles to ring in the New Year!!!!

    I was a huge fan of the Mr. Charles so I was excited to try out the original Charles restaurant. The food was excellent! Everything was presented exquisitely and the flavor combinations were delicious! I would absolutely come back here for the food and the service was very attentive. My only thing is the acoustics are loud and I wish the music had been turned down just a little bit as it forced everyone to speak over it making it difficult to hear other people at my table.

    We had a wonderful time start to finish! From the moment we pulled in to valet, you could tell that service was their priority. Winter and Rome were fantastic and so helpful, couldn’t have asked for better! The food was top tier, especially the pasta. I am gluten free and being able to order pasta that is house-made and INCREDIBLY delicious was a highlight for me. Not to mention, every item I ordered came out as a gluten free option without me ever having to ask. Spectacular experience and will definitely go again!
