    We ordered chick croissants and there was hardly any chicken in the salad. There was a few pieces of egg and that was about all. The salad on the side was all greens and no dressing with it. The French fries were dry. We have eaten breakfast here before and it was excellent the lunch was not yesterday. We have stayed overnight at the hotel and had a great time years ago. It was disappointing as we had friends with us that hadn’t been to the restaurant before. The drinks were good.

    The Charmant is one of my favorite breakfast places in town. I eat there at least once if not twice a month. So this review is hard for me. My family of five and I were very excited about the Mother’s Day brunch buffet. Our waiter was wonderful. He always greeted us with a smile and handled the busy day very well. His service was really appreciated. However, we were pretty disappointed with the quality of the food. At $42 or $43 (I can’t remember what we paid per plate)I was hoping for better quality. We didn’t feel like it reflected Charmant‘s typical quality. The eggs were really dried, the pancakes were flat and didn’t taste like the usual, they used different bacon than the usual as well, the cold shrimp was so fishy tasting, the crab stuffed mushroom were also very fishy (I took the stuffing out) ABS ate the mushrooms, the kids spit them out 🙈 and I can stuffed mushrooms, the desserts were mass made and still partially frozen. That was really disappointed as well. I did enjoy the beef and green beans along with the fresh fruit, cold cuts and cold salmon. I asked the kids what their favorite does was and they said the fresh fruit. We just felt like we were eating at a completely different restaurant. I will continue to support them but I don’t recommend the Mother’s Day brunch or the red rock salad on the lunch menu. Maybe they’ll improve things next year. I spoke to a few people while getting food who also felt the same way.

    Went on Valentine’s Day with reservations. Arrived early to have a couple cocktails at the bar which were very good. Seated on time, but when it came time to order they were out of many of their featured dishes. Ended up settling with a $58 ribeye which was so heavily salted that is wasn’t enjoyable. Overall atmosphere is great, but food is overpriced for what you get.

    Definitely worth it. My only thoughts are that the prices weren't updated on the website as of January 2023 compared to the printed prices, probably pandemic/inflation fall-out. Bone Marrow - With escargot and arugula, awesome Salmon - Was cooked perfectly and good with Beurre Blanc sauce which was great Both were way too salty in my opinion but service was exceptional, although i did go on a not busy night. Would definitely go back though!

    The Charmant RestaurantResponded on February 2, 2023Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, Trevor. I apologize that our website pricing was not accurate. I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed the Bone Marrow and Salmon. Those are a couple of my favorite dishes as well!
