    Food, service, setting all amazing. I am from Des Moines IA and heard about Charlie Gs from a friend. It didn't disappoint. Went there for our anniversary dinner and we had an excellent time.

    The evening was wonderful. Our waiter was amazing. I have never had scallops this divine. I choose Charlies every time I am in St Louis. It was our anniversary dinner and they made it special

    Food was great and service was on point. The only reason the dining area was loud was due to being sat next to a table of 25 people who clearly needed to yell over each other the whole dinner hour.

    We heard about this establishment from a tour guide, and completely pleased and satisfied with our experience there! Outstanding food, excellent service, and the ambiance of a neighborhood icon. The pasta is cooked to perfection. I don’t think you could go wrong on anything on the menu.

    Great food and excellent service from our waiter. We did feel there were to many tables in the restaurant by the bar. It was a little tight.

    We’ve eaten at Charlie’s a half dozen times. The toasted ravioli is to die for as many know . The service is always great and being on One Table makes reservations easy. We just keep forgetting how loud it gets. You can’t have close to a conversation. Just sit there staring at your companion and eat the great meal. And don’t try to breathe sitting in your micro booth that you needed a shoehorn to get into. Next time we’ll get takeout.
