Great food, very nice place. The tapas, deliver when ready service was a bit hit or miss. Most of the table for food very quickly, but because of the preparation style, which they are very clear about from the beginning, some members of the party had received none of their small plates until the rest of the table was fully served. Like I said they were very clear that this could happen from the beginning, but be aware that they're not kidding. Good will be delivered as it's ready and what that looks like is entirely unpredictable. Overall the food, service and place are excellent and I'd happily go back.

I enjoyed the aesthetic cozy atmosphere, and I certainly appreciate how there’s a lot of artist thought being put into the dishes and drinks but otherwise I gave “Charlie Was A Sinner” three stars because: 1.) The service was incredibly slow. My waiter kept disappearing behind the back wall near the bathrooms to look at his phone. I sat waiting for a long time watching him in his phone and the outing took me twice as long just by waiting 15 minutes between drinks. He also cut us off every time we asked a question. Everyone else was courteous though. 2.) The seating was awkward. I love the little tables up front, it’s so cute. But they should be in the back. For an intimate little setting to have a drink with someone, it sure is right there in the middle of all of the traffic and at the front. I couldn’t even have my drink in privacy because the hostess and waiters were always there. One of them stood at staring at us, while only three feet away. 3. I don’t feel the menu is authentic enough. They have fancy names for dishes that already exist and it reminded me of an alternative to “Vedge”. 4.) it was also incredibly pricey. I only got four drinks, two of them were from the cocktail menu, and two regular juices, I got one of the appetizer boards, and two other plates and somehow it cost me a little over $100. There were some good points though. It’s cute to go for a few drinks with a friend if you’re passing by, and it certainly has a very cozy atmosphere that you can really feel laid back in. The drinks are very aesthetic and seemed very unique. I really enjoyed how the different flavors really came together. I’ll let each person be their own judge since this is a place that some may love while others may not.

WHAT ARE THEIR PRICES LIKE FOR PLATES?

It's a nice place to go to, but not as much for dinner because it's small and you'll feel crowded. If you just want the best bang for the buck, go ethnic. "New Harmony" is the best-known all vegan Chinese restaurant. It's in Chinatown. If you're closer to Fairmont, try "Unit Su Vege". If you want to be more adventurous, most Ethiopian restaurants have vegan/vegetarian fare. The bread that comes with it, called "injera", is actually vegan.

Depends on your level of observance but it has supervision under the International Kosher Council which not everyone holds by.
