About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
Focusing predominately on fresh local seafood with a French, Lowcountry flare, Charlie’s is the place for good food, good wine and unforgettable memories all enjoyed in a quaint French country atmosphere.

A Savannah native, Charlie Golson’s interest in the French language and culture took him to Paris. After a long stint in the fast paced hotel kitchens of Washington DC, he was ready to move back closer to home. It was at that time he was able to open up a one room French bistro. The restaurant has grown over the years, but the ‘Green Star’ remains steadfast in offering the finest ingredients the Low country has to offer with a menu that is hand written daily. Resort Casual.

    We had an incredible anniversary dinner! We had the charcuterie board for appetizer, Pinot noir wine, and two seafood entrees (mahi mahi & sheepshead), side salad plus wonderful bread. All the food was fantastic and it was a very enjoyable experience. Our server was also very knowledgeable and friendly. We highly recommend this restaurant!
