Charles Street Brasserie

We've tried a few times to eat here and, honestly, we don't think it was worth the effort. They're the kind of restaurant that will reserve a table and keep it unavailable for hours. I'm not joking, they had little chalkboards on the tables with the name and time of the reservation. We were there when they opened at 5 and walked past several tables with 7pm and later reservation times. Really? You don't think it's possible for a patron to have a meal and pay in 2 hours? Even though we had a reservation, the only place we were offered to sit was an outside picnic bench overlooking the unkempt fire pit area. And with the restaurant being in a working marina, there were also several competing unpleasant odors eminating from the surroundings. Although our waiter was friendly and accommodating, he made it quite obvious that he wanted us to eat and go quickly. They have a decent bourbon menu, however, every one that I requested either was not available or was no longer offered even though it was on the menu. He kept pushing the fact they were known for their tapas and that we should order several ones from the menu because they're small. We thought he meant you only got one tapas per menu item. It's a good thing we weren't that hungry and ordered just one item each because both of ours came out with 2 each. They were just OK and definitely not worth a special trip from home.

Phenomenal food and atmosphere. They have a live piano player. It's beautiful and quaint. You can see the water. In warm weather there is outside seating. The food is excellent! Wonderful steaks and the crab Mac N cheese is above expectations. Fresh baguette bread comes with it. I highly recommend this restaurant! Make reservations to secure a table!

Good place for a quiet or romantic dinner. Thursday and Friday nights you are entertained by Joe with live music-large selection of classic songs. Food presentation was outstanding and tasted great.

This was an amazing restaurant. We went on a Sunday for Brunch and got the berries waffles.. the breakfast bowl with egg, potato, bacon, avocado, peppers & onions and the crab omelette. The food was delicious. The water view was beautiful and we were serenaded with a wonderful singer at the piano. They also offer mimosas and Bloody Mary’s.
