Went for brunch and was able to get in on the heated patio even without a reservation. Unbeatable price if you’re looking for a bottomless mimosas or Bloody Mary experience! But even not doing that, still a good spot. The salmon Benedict and quiche were so good. The cinnamon roll wasn’t my vibe (crunchy and not super sweet, so if you like that, get it!). HIGHLY recommend the potato cakes!!! SO YUMMY!

A reasonably good choice for a friday night when every place if booked out or crowded. Food is good, burger is good indeed. Many choices for drinks exist. Only 4 choices for red wine but the ones listed are OK. Service is prompt and good. Place is too noisy due to crowd, when you are out to the fresh air, you get relieved...

Stopped in for dinner & tried a bunch of apps, the hot dog & a burger. Everything was delicious, but the Chicken Satay was next level! Definitely coming back to try again.

Speakeasy kinda vibes! Great spot for date night, romantic drinks and dinner with your love. Drinks menu is pretty comprehensive and the cocktails are one of the best I have had in this area. They have a patio at the back but close that early and the middle area closes around midnight while the bar is open till close. Only suggestion to them is lower the music levels and gradually dim the lights as the night progresses. Will go back again next time I am in the area.

Missing menu items, weird service, 5% menu surcharges, less than great food - Bar Charley has a lot of room for improvement. Went to Bar Charley with friends because we wanted filet mignon and BC had great reviews - but while filet mignon is listed on their website, it isn't on the menu at the restaurant. Instead they offer strip, ribeye and steak frites - more on that shortly. One huge red flag for Bar Charley's is the very small print at the bottom of the menu - the restaurant adds a mandatory 5% surcharge to every order. Not for the staff, not for gratuity - just jacks up the prices by 5%. Ribeye is listed for $55 but the real price is $57.75. Why not just make the prices what they are and not lie about it? So weird. The waitstaff shows no interest in the customers with huge gaps in time and service between courses and drinks. My companions and I ordered a strip, ribeye, and steak frites. When the steaks were delivered, the waiter lowered the lights in the restaurant so low we couldn't see the food - which made cutting around the massive amounts of fat on the steaks impossible. The strip steak, promised to be nearly fat free, was lined with tough bands of fat and gristle. The ribeye was more fat than meat. And the steak frites didn't come with frites but salad. No steak knives provided either - we were left with used butter knives to cut the steak until we could flag down a server and ask for something better. One huge pet peeve - after we finished the appetizers, the busser took our dirty silverware and placed it on the table. This is terrible sanitation - table tops are high touch surfaces usually not well cleaned. Additionally, the busser was handling other dirty objects around the restaurant and goes directly to handling guest silverware. In an expensive restaurant like Bar Charley, silverware should be removed and replaced with every course. Drinks were mediocre and the dessert wine recommended by the waiter was so bad no one at the table could get past the first sip. Incredibly expensive dinner for really poor quality food and lackluster service.
