    Lake George is 75% closed in the off season, and yet this place was rather packed. Service was excellent, food was nothing to complain about, but not quite delicious. Seating was comfortable.

    We went to Charlie's for a late dinner and it turned out to be the best dinner we had all weekend! We will definitely try again.

    Let’s start by saying that the service was adequate. It goes downhill from here. I ordered a French Onions soup which was served barely warm. The server took it back and heated it in a microwave. It was mediocre at best. I love a burger with crumbled blue cheese and bacon so that’s what I ordered. If this was the first time I had one I would never have another. It was terrible. I live in the area but will never eat here again. There are far better places in the area to eat such as Bistro LeRoux, Redicci Kitchen, Morgan and Co., the Full Moon, and others. Live and learn.

    My husband, myself and a family friend enjoyed a delicious dinner the other night at Charlie’s. I had the Chicken Marsala which was perfectly cooked. My husband got the Veal Saltambucca which he said was delicious and our guest got the Haddock and she said it was delicious. We have been here many times and would give it very high marks. The service is very good. We never felt rushed. Our sever was friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu and specials for the evening.

    We are dumb founded - this place has a good rating - two thumbs down - food and service mediocre at best. We were very disappointed. The Prime rib was tasteless & 30-40 percent fat! Don’t waste your time or money

    Charlie’s has high quality food, not “tourist food’” a large variety of food (it was hard to decide what to get), excellent attentive service (highly contrary to some previous reviews), and just a high class meal (a great place to have dinner on our last night in beautiful Lake George).

    We were seated quickly as we had a reservation, our waiter Tom was great and on top of everything. He was knowledgeable about the menu and food, very kind and checked in with is appropriately. The food was delicious and came out in a timely manner. Would definitely go there again and would highly recommend. The pricing was good too and they have a variety to choose from so it is affordable if you want a less pricey meal, and they have a higher end such as a wrap with fries up to filet mignon.

    The prime rib had no flavor at all, and my husband was very disappointed. The other three meals were okay. Compliments to the manager who did not charge for the rub.

    The outside seating was prime people watching territory on a nice night. The pub food menu is great for families with picky kids - we got wings, a filet, and a burger, and they were all very good. Solid beer list, and the service was friendly and very attentive. Would go again.

    Food was excellent, our server was polite and attentive, and the white peach sangria was out of this world!! There were a bunch of kids at the table next to us that were extremely loud and a waitress that wasn’t using her inside voice, but other than that it was a wonderful experience.

    Enjoyed this spot right on Canada Street! Bobby, our server, was very friendly and took excellent care of us. The flatiron steak was done to medium rare perfection and the sweet potato fries and asparagus were delicious. My husband had the short rib ravioli and we sampled each other's meals. Everything was just terrific! It was quiet the night we were there, but I bet it's hopping during the summer months!

    We had the pretzel appetizer, which was so good we came back another day to have it again! The beet burger was delicious and my husband had the Jack Daniels burger, which was a little messy to eat but absolutely delicious. Would definitely go back there again when visiting Lake George area. 👍

    What a fabulous first-time experience and delicious dinner we enjoyed at Charlie’s! Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by Brad, the bar manager. The atmosphere is open and bright, and the bar was full of smiling customers. We were seated at a high top in the bar, which was very comfortable. Gabby, our delightful and professional server, brought us water and our drinks quickly. The menu has so many wonderful choices, it was tough to narrow our choices to the Seafood Risotto and the Seafood Alfred. We started with a fresh and flavorful garden salad tossed with white balsamic vinaigrette. Both of our entrees had tender and delicious diver scallops and jumbo shrimp. The garlic bread was so delicious!! We are very impressed with the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. The food is excellent, and we look forward to returning to enjoy the steaks next time. Thank you, Brad and Gabby, for making our evening so pleasant.

    Didn’t realize this was connected to a courtyard Marriott. Check in was chaotic for reservations. Food was great, but for the price not exactly what we were expecting in service. I would call this everyday dining but for $147 (2 apps & 2 dinners & 3 drinks) plus tip, I would’ve ventured elsewhere as bang didn’t really fit the buck.
