Hamburger special offers good value. Was put off by the 2 t.vs showing offensive Fox news political stories with scrolling banners so you were bombarded even with the sound off Best to not take sides in a public business!

First time here and everything was delicious. We had the Greek salad, Brussels sprouts and bacon wrapped jalapeños for appetizers and they were all very good. Then we had the salmon, pork chop Murphy, chicken fracaise and crab stuffed flounder, also delicious!! Desserts and drinks didn’t disappoint either.

Best restaurant week special. Food was excellent. Large portions. Brussels sprouts and calamari appetizers were a big hit. Pork chop, chicken francaise, and stuffed flounder entrees were of top quality. Toll house pie with ice cream was a sure winner. We all needed doggie bags. This restaurant is a sure keeper,

My wife and I booked a reservation at this restaurant at the last minute for our valentines dinner. The food and service was excellent. We also was surprised to see live music which was an added treat. I look forward on going back in the summer 🙂.

Enjoyable Valentine’s Day dinner. My wife and I both chose prix-fixe menu with appetizer, entree and desert. I tried the Peruvian Calamari with sauce on the side (waitress said it’s spicy) and my wife has lobster bisque. For entrees, stuffed flounder with crab meat and wild rice and salmon with asparagus in parchment paper and mashed potatoes. Everything was delicious and filling, so that we both took our cheesecake boxed for home. We have been to Charley’s several times but never on Friday evening (live music every Friday) where the band Danjo’s added to the atmosphere. We’ll be back.

Wonderful neighborhood bar and restaurant. In winter, they have live music. We enjoyed our dinners while we listened to a band play vintage soft rock. I had the crabmeat tacos and my husband had the fish and chips. The fries were done to the perfect crispness. Will be going back soon.
