The food and the Charles was great. Two got the beef ribs and they were a very healthy portion and very tasty, as was the gravy on the mashed potatoes. Two got the scampi, it was very flavorful. The sliced zucchini with the pasta was a nice accompaniment. The side of bread was warmed/toasted and was the perfect combination of crunchy & chewy yet just soft enough. Service was good and attentive, but the server could have know more about the menu. The sound level was high and there was a sort of music bingo going on which while perhaps a local tradition seemed a little out of place in a finer restaurant on a weekend night and was a minor distraction for our group. Cost was an excellent value for the quality of the food.

The Short Ribs are absolutely incredible. I’m out to eat at least twice a week and they are the best Short Ribs I’ve ever had, hands down! Honestly, might be the best dish on the north shore. You have to try them.

Last night (Saturday Nov 2) we made last minute plans to go to dinner and originally had planned to dine at Bunratty’s, (which I had only dined at once) The wait was long so they suggested their sister restaurant The Charles next door. What a happy change of plans. It was my first time here and it didn’t disappoint! I ordered the Mexican bowl with chicken. When it came out it was plated beautifully, (I wish I had taken a picture) and tasted as good as it looked. It was delicious! If it was polite to lick my bowl, I probably would have! The staff was welcoming and accommodating (two young men and the bartender) and the owner came over to check on us as well, which I appreciated.
An unexpected surprise was at 7:00 when a DJ came in and set up for Musical Bingo. I know a few other tables may not have appreciated it, and I understand their annoyance if they came for a nice meal in a smaller place with quiet atmosphere, but I thought the owner as well as the DJ were responsive in the tables requests to turn the music down a bit. (We were sitting at the table next to the DJ) It didn’t bother me a bit, as I love Musical Bingo. And yes, I was one of the ones who was out on the floor dancing (with my reluctant husband) to Love Shack at the end of the night.
Needless to say, you made a wonderful first impression and have gained a new customer! Please pass my compliments on to your staff as they helped to make our night enjoyable.
Thank you!

Great neighborhood restaurant. Went with 9 other people. Mexican chicken bowl was delicious! The short ribs looked fantastic as well. Music bingo was a blast along with some dancing. Great vibe too.

My mom and I recently co-hosted a medium sized gathering with friends and family after my dad’s funeral mass and interment. Bunratty Tavern was one of his favorite restaurants and we were so glad we could hold this private event at the Charles. Ryan was an absolute pleasure to work with in making preparations. And the entire team was exceptional during the gathering. Everyone enjoyed the food, service, ambiance and drinks. We couldn’t have dreamed of a better experience despite the difficult circumstances. Thank you so much Ryan and team for everything!

Highly recommend! Food was delicious- we got the Mac and cheese balls, chicken avocado sandwich on focaccia and short ribs on mashes potatoes – it was all excellent. I think the staff was the best part. It felt like they all wanted to be there and were genuinely happy for us to be there. I don’t live in the area but am planning to go back.
