Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Charles Village

Delicious brunch! Thoroughly enjoyed! Wagyu meatballs were fabulous, burrata was great too! Loved the avocado toast and my husband really enjoyed the egg sandwich!

Everything about our date night was perfect! Service by JT was terrific and the food was delicious!

Went here for Valentine's Day and had a fantastic time! Our server (Savannah) was knowledgeable, patient, and funny. She dealt with all of our annoying questions and terrible jokes perfectly. 10/10 service (I say this as a former server myself), from guiding through dishes, punctual food delivery, and rapid table clearing. The manager (Charles) stopped by to chat and introduce himself with many tables, which is always an appreciated touch. He even came back an additional time with some samplings of their in-house prosecco and stuck around to talk shop and history if the restaurant just a pinch, which was very entertaining to hear about. The drink selection was excellent, and we enjoyed our bottle of wine as well as the craft tequila cocktail (and they have every type of Clase Azul available, a dream come true). Each item we ordered from amongst the Valentine's Day menu (well balanced menu with plenty of choices, unlike every other fixed menu I've had or served) was excellent. My grandmother's ghost is probably going to haunt me for saying this, but I think that the mushroom risotto i had was the best I've ever tasted. The quinoa + stuffed mini pepper starter was delicious, and we both cleaned our plates of our entrée (Chilean sea bass and salmon). I will say, the Valentine's Day specific decoration and music wasn't quite our taste, but I'm sure plenty of people appreciated it. I would have preferred the restaurant's usual classy atmosphere, but everything else more than made up for it. Overall, the quality of service and food easily matched the price we paid for our meal. Expect that 2 people can spend around $300 (before tip/tax) if you plan to have 4 courses and a bottle of wine with dinner + an extra drink.

Ruth Chris is hands down my favorite restaurant for variety, ambiance, service and availability (they stay open late). The ribeye and stuffed chicken are my favorite entrees. I always order the lobster mac no matter what else i eat. The seafood tower is absolutely amazing too. The bbq shrimp were a bit disappointing this time, usually very savory. Last night way too salty. Also disappointed they still dont take apple pay, google wallet... like cmon guys. I had to leave and go to an ATM to get cash and pay for my meal. They need a sign posted as patrons walk through the door so this doesn't happen to anyone else. Still my favorite restaurant!!!

Always a great experience. It’s laid back. The staff are attentive. The drinks are spot on. The food is excellent.
