                          We love The Charmant, typically, but our most recent visit was so disappointing. We felt totally isolated upon entering the restaurant. Ridiculously long wait for any assistance or greeting. Water came and then nothing. We were prepared to leave when a kind associate offered to find us a server. But the poor service continued even after our order was taken. The 2 chocolates were appreciated. Hopefully it was just an "off" day.

                          We always enjoy our entrees, great service and ambience. We started with a Bloody Mary and a cappuccino. My husband ordered the Gravlax,beet cured salmon | pickled red onion | caper | dill | chopped egg | cream cheese | bagel and I ordered the Farm Scramble with organic veggies. Great service, thanks!

                          Our server Hannah was perfectly attentive and kind. Her notes about the wines were spot on. I appreciated her advisement about the strength of the Dutch Tulips cocktail - she was right, it's a sipper! We had a lovely evening. Thank you!

                          The lighting and atmosphere was great for a quiet evening out for dinner. The food was excellent and the wait staff was fantastic. Amazing service and a great selection from both the food and drink menu. Very happy with our fancy night out and will definitely be planning on returning again soon.
