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.

    Incredible food and service. Jodi was our server - make sure to request her (although all the staff were friendly and very attentive). Highly recommend this place. Reservations suggested.

    We highly recommend this restaurant. We had a French martini, the sheep head fish with scalloped potatoes, salad and caramel cake for dessert. I would come back here in a heartbeat! Thanks Val for the excellent service!

    We are a repeat couple customer and always pleased at Charlie’s. Food, service, and atmosphere always first rate. A different lunch experience with the Yale Male A cappella performing for short periods in each dining room area was enjoyable.
