My family and I attended for the first time to celebrate grandmother and grandson's birthday. To be specific and to the point I wish I came sooner. The 5 stars are well warranted. The staff is soo in sync, friendly, attentative. Thank you Emma for your personal care and attention. The food is excellent, cooked to perfection. The menu covers anyones palate. If you wish to grab a bite, a business meeting, celebration or any kind Charcoal will deliver.

This is the second time within a month that we have dined for lunch. The first time, I ordered the CREOLE CHICKEN NAAN’WICH and my wife had the FISH TACOS. Yesterday, we both ordered the RIVIERA BOWL. In each case, we were shocked by the amount of sodium (salt) on the food. Whatever toppings or 'rubs' that were placed on the dishes contain an substantial amount of salt. Neither of us has a low tolerance but we could only describe each dish with one word - Salty.

Easter Buffet was amazing. I ate a mound of delicious, fresh shrimp and luscious oysters ! Fantastic amount of lemon wedges and condiments. The breakfast line was excellent; scrambled eggs were perfect. The roast beef was excellent. The waffle station was excellent; the whipped cream was wonderful. The olives and cheese and deli meats were excellent. The devilled eggs were over the top ! The cheese cake and cherry jubilee was something else and I hope to taste again in my life ! The lemon gelato was just right. The service was outstanding ! Our gal was delightful. Things that would make it over 100% More variety for dessert; add cakes, pies, flan ! The roasted potatoes were dry and over cooked. The caesar salad was soggy. Overall - 100% excellent. I can't wait to go on Mother's Day ! Love, Anna
