                          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.

                          The only downside to our experience is that we had 8:30 reservations but did not get seated until 9:30. It was 22/31 though so keep that in mind. Great food.

                          New Years Eve at the Charmant was a wonderful experience. Beautiful setting with the Rotary Christmas lights outside the windows; the food was outstanding, wine pairing was excellent, service was terrific, top drawer. In fact, I thought we were at a very sophisticated dining room in Chicago or Minneapolis. The sommelier was kept hoping, and described each of the wines for each of the five courses. very knowledgeable. It was just a perfect dining experience.
