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.

    Well - I goofed ! I was considering several restaurants in Savannah because I eat gluten free . Let’s be honest - there is a lot of gluten in traditional Southern cooking. I booked the wrong date for our reservation! When I looked at their menu I realized there would be some GF options ! The hostess graciously accommodated my husband and I and we were able to get a table . I had a delicious meal that was gluten free ! I had the special - sea bass with risotto! Delightful ! I am grateful for their understanding during this holiday season .

    We were hoping for a sunset view but it pretty obscured in the outdoor seating area and wind was a bit too much to enjoy outside so we moved to an indoor heated space and that made for a more enjoyable meal. The weather certainly isn’t anything against the establishment and they offered a great alternative. Our server was really wonderful, very attentive and friendly. The food was good, portions were ample and priced good. We wished we’d had more of a view, but we had a view of a little bit of water and one of the bridges. The staff was phenomenal so this gets our vote!

    Happily surprised with bubbles for two to celebrate my husband’s birthday!! It was a warm welcome for our first visit. Food was excellent (salmon dish and lobster/shrimp carbonara dish) and service was attentive. Decor is simple but the restaurant was full of people and quite festive. A real gem! Excited to return!
