The Charles

This place is amazing. Not sure why all the bad reviews. I had a reservation for 1 o’clock, my family was running late so we had to change it to 130. They were very accommodating for this change. The hostess suggested that while I wait I go shopping in their market. I am so glad I did, I found some amazing goodies. The bagels I brought home were simply delicious. After that I sat at the bar and had a cocktail and an appetizer, both were amazing as was the bartender. When my family arrived we moved to a table and our server was very friendly and helpful. All of the food was pretty amazing, except for my mother‘s chicken sandwich, it was a little dry. She had a hard time eating it. But overall it was an amazing experience. Thank you.

Not bad at all. Appetizers were excellent, and each entree for the party of 5 was well prepared. They all came out hot and went down easy. Very Satisfying. 😋 Thr dessert menu could help with a few more items especially a apple pie for a southern county restaurant. But otherwise it was a very good experience.

UPDATED/NEW REVIEW: I recently returned here with my family and the food was underwhelming. The was staff super nice though, as last time. The brunch platter did not seem fresh. The juice and potatoes seems stale, with a sandy texture mixed in, and the eggs, though I asked for well-done scrambled, were running and tasted old. The experience left me nauseated. I know every one may have an off day, so if there is a next time, I hope it is better. I'll drop my rating my one star due to this most recent experience. NOTE: The pictures are from the previous experience, not the most recent. OLD REVIEW: My family and I enjoyed our breakfast here on a nice snowy morning! We made reservations and they were kind enough to call when we were about 6 minutes behind. The service was courteous and the breakfast was tasty and filling. My husband had the veggie omelet, though his didn't love the goat cheese. I had the brunch platter with French toast, topped with pecan glaze, and scrambled eggs and bacon. Glaze was very tasty, though I wish the bread used was more hearty. We both loved the breakfast potatoes. Overall, look forward to returning and even for dinner!

Pretty good!!! My second time at this spot. I hadn't been in a long time and was pretty sure I had the meatloaf the first time, which was delicious. This time I had the roasted cauliflower. It was okay but to be fair I'm a carnivore not a vegan but I wanted to try something different. It fell flat for me. Beautiful presentation but it's not flavored well enough for me. My friend had the salmon and it was delicious!

Nice place to go to watch football, eat a good meal, or have a drink. They offer seasonal drinks and have an impressive beer & wine menu. Service was lovely (we had a sweet waitress named Sarah who was especially intentional with our dietary needs). Would definitely recommend the lettuce wrap appetizer.

I usually love the Charles and it's market, even if the food seems overpriced for the quality despite the creativity. I bought a turkey sandwich on marble rye and the turkey was laughable in portion. At first I thought they taosted the bread then realized it must be presliced because it was stale! For a $10.25 sandwich, unacceptable. Even Subway does better than that.
