A fantastic experience, as always. Had a dear friend in town. She had never been here before we started with the biscuits and the French press coffee… Delicious! Then we had the shrimp seafood salad, which was refreshing and seasoned just right I love the vibe of this restaurant it’s magical and a little mysterious. John greeted us and sat us at the best place to be able to catch up over lunch and we both left with full tummies and happy smiles. Thank you Ida Claire! We will definitely be back

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Evening at Mister Charles — Truly Exceptional in Every Way! Mister Charles will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Less than a year ago, we had our very first date here, and last night, we returned to celebrate our first evening as a married couple. To say the experience was magical would be an understatement. From the moment we arrived, the entire team went above and beyond to make us feel incredibly special. The warmth, thoughtfulness, and genuine hospitality were simply extraordinary. Every detail was handled with such care, and the staff made what was already a meaningful evening even more unforgettable. The food was absolutely phenomenal, beautifully presented, expertly prepared, and exceptional from beginning to end. Every course was a reminder of why Mister Charles is such an extraordinary dining destination. The impeccable service complemented the cuisine perfectly, striking that rare balance of elegance, attentiveness, and genuine warmth. What truly sets Mister Charles apart, however, is the way they make their guests feel. Fine dining is about so much more than incredible food and a beautiful atmosphere; it’s about creating memories that last a lifetime. The team at Mister Charles understands this better than anyone. To return to the place where our love story began, now as husband and wife, was incredibly meaningful. We are so grateful to everyone who helped make this celebration so special. Mister Charles isn’t just a restaurant to us anymore. It’s part of our love story. ❤️ Thank you for an absolutely perfect evening. We cannot wait to return for many more anniversaries and celebrations in the years ahead!

Almost always get the Margarita pizza and it never disappoints. It was nice to sit outdoors and our waitperson was excellent--Bernice, and we tipped accordingly. I am a repeat customer and always enjoy.

Another great evening at The Charles. Service was great and not a morsel was left of the half dozen dishes we ordered. Hard to pick a favorite when everything was a 10. The Charles has become a birthday tradition for our family. We look forward to returning in a year, and at least a few times before then.
