    Great food...very poor service. Management was notified of lack of attentiveness. Disappointing since it was wife's birthday and not service I've ever experienced here before. I'll try again, but if service is not better, I'll stop spending here.

    My Dad and I are big foodies, we had a wonderful experience! This was our first time here and we can’t wait to go back. Loved the deviled egg with my Caesar Salad, Filet Oscar Style was delicious, and the Bread pudding was AMAZING! Already plan to bring friends here when they come in town.

    From the Hostess to the table that had. Happy Anniversary card signed by all the front waitstaff to the dessert we had an incredible evening. Anytime we go out to eat on a special occasion we like to try things that we can’t eat at home and Charley G’s didn’t disappoint. Excellent from start to finish.

    I made reservations for our wedding Anniversary. Neither my husband nor I had ever been to Charlie G's before. Our food was delicious. We shared the Proscuitto Brie board appetizer. I had romaine wedge salad, filet mignon with lobster, and clementine cheese cake. My husband had turtle soup, sword fish (special) and a caramel type dessert. Every one was very attentive. We were really impressed! We will be back!

    We were in town for a visit and wanted a nice place to go out to dinner AND to be able to watch the Elite Eight. Charley G’s met and exceeded our goals. We requested bar seating so we could see the tv. In addition, they had live entertainment. The food was exceptional! Our waitress was knowledgeable and timed her service perfectly.

    I had the greatest dining experience here! I came for the good. But stayed for the ambiance and perfect service. Hady set the tone and we knew this was a place to keep in our rotation! Kresse saved the day, when my tired and cranky toddler wanted plain noodles asap. He went from tears to smiles!

    Charley G's Seafood GrillResponded on March 20, 2023Erica, thank you so much for taking the time to share your dining experience at Charley G's. We really appreciate the kind words and I look forward to sharing them with Hady and Kresse. We hope to serve you again soon.

    Everything was it's consistent outstanding quality. Our wish is that the piano playing could be lower, we still had to move in close to hear one another speak or raise our voices to be heard over the music. Love the music just wish it were softer and or lower.

    Charley G's Seafood GrillResponded on March 20, 2023Thanks for the feedback, we will definitely look into the piano volume. We are so happy you enjoyed the rest of your evening.

    Service was great. Very misleading- I had a large oarty and was told to pick a ore- fixe menu... which I did... $53 pp. plus tax and service. But they didnt charge like that.... they charged per item ordered.... very very misleading and unfair... we would have ordered a sampling of deserts for the table ... we dont eat desert- but it was included in prix fixe menu! And then they added a $53 credit card fee! Really? Nowhere did it say cash preferred. Just frustrating and embarrassing. When Im arguing about bill with a table of 15 waiting

    I am local to Lafayette. Charlie G’s is by far the best fine dining restaurant in Lafayette. The food is always spectacular, the staff is what you would expect from a fine dining restaurant. They always make sure you are enjoying your evening. The ambience is set by the live piano playing in the background seven nights a week. This restaurant is great for business, celebration, date night and visiting with family and friends. Reservations are recommended but if needed you can usually sit at the bar to have dinner with no reservation.

    Charley G's Seafood GrillResponded on March 20, 2023Thank you so much for taking the time to review us. We really appreciate the kind words and I look forward to sharing your experience with our team.
