Always enjoy this restaurant. Ordered a lot, one item being filet/lobster combo. Lobster tail was disappointing and tough, so I wouldn’t order it again, but it’s the only negative thing I can say.

My wife and I enjoy Charley G's for our special occasions because we know that we will never be disappointed. As usual, we were not disappointed. The staff was attentive to us and were knowledgeable about the foods and wines. I recommend Charley G's to my friends and family. Oh, the food was fabulous!

I made a reservation and the hostess had no record. They put us in the bar area, squeezing five people on a four top. I’ve experienced this establishment for over three decades, and have numerous great experiences. I do not plan on returning.
Charley G's Seafood GrillResponded on November 3, 2023
Hi Kevin, thank you so much for sharing. We are so sorry you experienced this when you dined with us. We want to look into this for you, did you make a reservation with us through open table? Did you receive a confirmation email or text? Did you talk with a manager on-duty? We greatly appreciate your patronage, and we want to make it up to you! Please respond and let us know these details as well as an address to send a gift card.

The only thing I would like to report is the salad has shrunk into a minute size! And, it was on a plate, the size of a tea cup saucer, so it was very hard to cut. I was a bit confused by all of that.
Charley G's Seafood GrillResponded on October 25, 2023
Thank you so much for your 5 star review, and we appreciate your feedback! If you dined with us in the past, our salad size has changed! We transitioned from a small and a large salad to a medium sized salad post-covid. It is served on a dinner plate. It would only be served on a smaller plate if it was split or as a replacement for one of our sides. We apologize if the server did not communicate that during your dining experience. We appreciate you letting us know, and we hope you give us a chance to make it right for you next time you dine with us! Please respond and we will make note for your next reservation!

I ordered a filet med cooked. Got it Cooked med-rare, sent it back. Came back the first bite was med, then the rest was med/rare still. Manager never made another effort to fix it or offer something else. I brought it home for the dog, needless to say I will not be back.
Charley G's Seafood GrillResponded on October 25, 2023

Ambiance was perfect, noise level was half of Social Southern Table Waiter - Mildly checked on us Meal Breakdown Tuna Tartare - Stay away if you don’t like fresh seaweed, tuna was fresh Gumbo - Should be called a stew, way too thick but did have decent flavor. Under seasoned 8oz Filet - Ordered medium rare. Arrived cold, under seasoned, not tender Market Pasta - Probably the better item on the menu, no complaints. Scallops were cooked perfectly gnocchi was al dente. Sauce was very flavorful As for the price a $200 price point for lackluster food execution. Won’t be coming back other than for drinks at the piano bar
Charley G's Seafood GrillResponded on October 9, 2023
Hi! We are so sorry to hear you did not enjoy your dining experience with us! At Charley G's, we strive to provide the highest level of quality food and service. I do want to share that our gumbo is an unique family recipe, and it is different than most traditional gumbos! It has been a staple on our menu for decades, as well as a local favorite. We are so sorry that you did not enjoy the tartar or the filet. Did you share your concerns with your server or a member of our management team? We would love to offer you a gift card for you to return and try us again! We greatly appreciate you sharing your experience with us, we value your feedback, and we would like the opportunity to make it up to you with a wonderful dining experience.
