    Thank you for making this a perfect dinner date for Christmas Eve! Every bit of the staff was very attentive. It didn’t matter how many people there were they all act as our waiters which was amazing. It was as if they were all secretly communicating to each other what we already had and what we still needed . The best Christmas dinner ever ! ~I just can’t tell any of my family members that~

    Charlotte is a great, almost-hidden gem in this part of Seattle. The food is top-notch. We're vegan, and we're impressed with the number of vegan options available. You can't beat the view, either. We're locals. This was our first time, but we'll be back.

    Food is amazing, the place is cozy, perfect for a rainy Sunday. Wasn’t too hungry with my partner, so we went light on the order - “Dutch Babies -Savory” the must order, with a bowl of clam chowder. For two people, medium level craving, it does have me the taste of the joy and allows me to not feeling too stuffed :)

    The food here is so great. There’s something for everyone and they are willing to accommodate, and are so warm and friendly about it. The gluten free bread is so incredible, I mentioned how portland struggles with gf bread that isn’t off, they brought me a whole loaf to bring back with me. It was so so so sweet. I recommend this place to everyone.
