Menu limited. OK, Not great.
We went with another couple who had been happy with Charles last winter. We were all disappointed. The menu had changed and had fewer choices. I had the tiapala and my friend tried the mullet. Both were OK but not great by any means. Our husbands ordered the one "steak" offering and, after being assured it was not ground beef, were served ground beef patties.
The service wasOur waitress was new and very good but we had neglected to ask for separate checks and her trainer was perturbed with us and far more upset about it than we were.

The prices were reasonable, but we are not anxious to return there.    [20 Feb 2005 16:11:54]

Good Place for Seafood
We are recently relocated from New England so we have been looking for a good seafood place. We have made Charlie's one of our regular stops. The place is clean and the service is usually good.

One favorite is the fried seafood which is lightly coated and never over-cooked. The salad could be a bit larger but their own blue cheese dressing is excellent.

The selections are a bit limited but what we have sampled was good. All meals were prepared with fresh seafood, which you would expect from a place with a fish market attached. It definitely beats the chain seafood restaurants for both price and quality.    [12 May 2006 21:36:21]

Not impressed
Don't go late (7pm). The stone crabs were good and affordable but the baked potato was old and brown and the salad was nothing special. The atmosphere was nothing special. I never saw the bay. I wouldn't recommend it.    [31 Dec 2006 07:35:21]
