We didn’t have food so ignore that score. Charlotte is always great for a cocktail, if a bit on the pricey side. The cocktail I wanted wasn’t available that evening for some real and my second choice was $5 more. It was really good though, and great friendly service. We were very early, so the place was pretty quiet. I know I’ll be back, and look forward to another enjoyable time there.

Great experience with an “accidental” wine tasting. We showed up on a Wednesday, where there was a formal wine tasting. We were able to order the wine flight and food pairing. The wine and the sommelier were great, but it felt overpriced for what we received (3 x ~2 oz wine plus a very small meat/cheese plate). Regardless, it was a very good experience in a cozy place with a cool vibe.

The staff have no urgency to serve you. Waited almost a half hour and no one came up to bring water or at least to say they’d be with us soon. Ended up walking out.

I really liked the atmosphere at Charlotte. We were on comfortable little couches and the venue was quiet enough on a weekday evening for a great conversation. The food is excellent too. I think the cocktails were a little underwhelming and we’d love to see more variety with things like fruity, refreshing drinks. The cocktails that we had were syrupy and not really what we were after. I would still come again and overall we had a great experience.

Booked a reservation for a bachelorette party of 11 people, didn’t put down that it was a special event but the staff made our group feel so special and were so accommodating. We ordered a round of shots and without even asking they added two non-alcoholic shots for two people who weren’t drinking which made them feel so included. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect. I cannot recommend this place enough! I will be telling every single person I know about it!

Cocktails were great and Food is tasty snacks that fit well with a few drinks. The aesthetic is fun but we did find it got too loud (for our liking) after 9pm.
