   Love Charlie’s, as a rule. Love the patio and the food is always very good. We are regulars. This time we brought out of town friends and sat inside because the day was chilly. The calamari appetizer was bland. Fish and chips were over breaded, overcooked with stale french fries. The onion soup was adequate. One salad was ordered specifically without bacon; the salad arrived with lots of bacon mixed all the way through. The waitress was shocked, said that she had written “no bacon” on her request to the kitchen and ultimately didn’t charge us for that salad. The Caesar salad with chicken had too much dressing and the chicken was tough and tasted old. We will be back because we believe this was an anomaly. The staff is always friendly and responsive. But the kitchen was having a very, very bad day.

   We went for restaurant week and everything was absolutely delish! The service was slow and she was quiet but we got everything we needed. The bartender was loud and talking about the Oscar’s on TV but entertaining. The food was absolutely delightful. We also added an app and dessert from the regular menu and those were great as well. The Caesar salad was great, the beef wellingtons, the tortellini and the medallions. If they served the medallions and potato on the regular menu, we’d go all the time. The pancetta was good but the apples made it flavorful and just the slight touch of sweet. We will be back.

   Charlie’s is a restaurant you can count on. Food is great, very vegan friendly too, the service staff is very friendly and attentive. We try to go there one per week.

   Charlie’s is always good. The owner/chef Robert is very conscientious about having a good mix of vegan and vegetarian meals. They have an excellent Beet Patty Melt, very tasty.
