- DDavevipAtlanta Metro •171 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe have been happyly dining at Charlies for well over 20 years. While this visit to Hilton head was a short one, only three days, we dined at Charlies all three nights with Jeff, Anthony, and Mark. We have had everything on the menu at one time or other and it was this time, as always fantastic. Flounder, Monkfish, burger, chicken crepes, filet, nothing better. And while the food is always amazing, it's the people, staff and customers that make Charlies special. Jeff, Anthony, and Mark are like family. And dining at the bar we always meet someone we have something in common with. This time one grew up in the small town in Ohio where our son just moved to. On the other side of us the couple's one time neighbor was a director of the small bank I worked for many years ago in another small town in Ohio. I remember him well. There is no other place like it anywhere.More infoCharlie's Coastal Bistro (L'etoile Verte)Price: Expensive• Seafood• Hilton Head Island•4.9
