This was our first time to The Charles. We really enjoyed our meal. We went on a Wednesday night and to our surprise it was busy. We parked at the fire department next door. Ate upstairs, it’s very loud up there… We had the Shrimp and Grits, Caesar salad, Gluten Free bread, Chicken and Dumplings, and the butter cod. Oh and the key lime pie for dessert. Everything was was great and quite flavorful! We usually get Caesar Salad and these were nice and not overly covered in dressing. Can’t wait to go back this summer.

Amazing service for a big and wild party, specifically our rehearsal dinner for the wedding. Close to 30 people in the private room upstairs. The wait staff was super nice and patient with our wacky little kids. Food was delicious, as always. We’ve been here a couple times for regular dinner and always enjoy it immensely.

Thoughtful and comforting menu, simply effervescent cocktails, quaint setting (although outdoor chairs were a bit awkward/uncomfortable), and friendly/helpful staff. Excellent gluten-free (celiac-friendly) options. Local gem!

Café
Nestled in a historic district, charming area. We went here for an Anniversary, they served us a little champagne! (Very good) The servers knew everything about the drinks, were familiar with the food/flavors, and made stellar recommendations as a result. VERY pleased with taste: I don’t like mushrooms, they found a way to make them taste amazing!! portions were appropriate – not too little, but not too much. We got lucky with parking, but I could see it being more challenging as this beautiful restaurant’s popularity inevitably grows!

Had my second dining experience here, and I was so happy with the food. Everything was delicious and the staff was super friendly and helpful! Definitely try the fried chicken and tuna tartare soon!

Finally, I got around to checking out the Charles after hearing outstanding reviews for months. And I must say, it definitely lived up to the hype. Looking from the outside, I expected the house to look old and very New England like on the inside. I was wrong, it had the perfect modern look and intimate feel for a Friday night dinner.

Delicious lunch and outstanding service, thank you George, in a beautiful setting. Yummy tempura cod for me and a fried chicken sandwich for the Mister.

My mom picked The Charles to celebrate Mother’s Day after hearing glowing reviews from others, and we were so glad that we did! The vintage feel of the restaurant was right up my mom’s alley, and it was impressive to see the beautiful condition of this antique home. The prix fixe menu for the holiday had a great selection, including the deviled egg appetizer, prime rib, and filet mignon. The meat was cooked to perfection, and I especially loved the sauce that was paired with the filet! They clearly have a very talented chef. Desserts of the carrot cake, affogato, and creme brûlée were all great too. Though we thought the waiter could’ve been friendlier (not even a Happy Mother’s Day to my mom), we did appreciate that the table was cleaned between courses and that each course moved steadily. We plan on visiting again to try their non-holiday menu!

Just want to start off saying service was great. No issues there. But I ordered fish and chips for lunch. It unfortunately had no flavor. It was just very oily. Fries were great. Might of just been a one time thing?? We’ll give it one more try for dinner.
