    First time - wow. Expect Long wait times but take in the ambience as you linger at the bar filled with chandeliers, a giant aquarium with a submarine surrounded by gorgeous fish of all shapes colors and sizes. Once you get used to the din, you’ll enjoy the drinks that are perfectly curated by experienced bartenders. Our server Jonathan was both knowledgeable and amicable. We had scallops, lobster, the magnificent $34 Mac and cheese with bacon and lobster and everything was prepared exquisitely! Will be returning soon.

    The Charles has the BEST Customer Service, hands down! EVERYONE was super polite, attentive, engaging and personable. Our server, Chelsey, gave the best feedback, learned our names, and even took beautiful pics for us. She's awesome & if she's a trainer for The Charles, then I know more wonderful servers will be produced. The ambiance was gorgeous, nice music, just the right amount of light, and the food was very flavorful. The "off the menu" items were delicious, especially the specialty pasta one of the young ladies made. Definitely a place to try!
