    Good to see this venue going back to life, with more affordable dishes, the prok belly tapas and the beef fillet were delicious! Will definitely go back.

    We reserved a table for 4 at 8:00, we were surprised to be rushed to order with excuse that kitchen closes in 10 minutes, if that time slot is open you think you have at least 30 minutes to order. So book early but for us there was no possibility. The space is very nice and staff and food good, but we weren't able to "CHILL", if booking go early

    The Charles hosted my friends and I for a birthday brunch. We were a large-ish group and they attended to us well The setting was absolutely beautfiul with care taken to have flower placements and the carrot cake was delicious and received many compliments. Thank you to the whole Charles team who made the day as special as it was.
