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.

Always the best at Chez Georges. George always cooks up flavorful seafood. My favorite is the Bouillabaisse - freshest of fish and a variety of shellfish - so good. The cocktails and wine are a step ahead - Eric at the bar is one knowledgeable guy. AGN (another good night)! Lou L.

Great new menu item, nice in Winter, marinated London Broil, medium rare, sliced on the bias. Incredibly tasty, beautiful with a glass of Pinot Noir or a rustic Super Tuscan. Of course the new Lobster Carbonara cannot be avoided. A choice conundrum to say the least. Chef Scottie has outdone himself!

My husband ordered the duck & he said his was cooked perfectly - medium rare. The scalloped potatoes & veggies (green beans & carrots) were also delicious. He cleaned his plate. I had the smoked salmon appetizer which was good, not much different than what can be found in Costco or ordering online - it came with a lovely horseradish & dill sauce. I also had the crab, avocado appetizer which was more interesting. We had an early reservation which is what I prefer to eating later, but there were people waiting by the time we left around 6:30.
