Charlottes' Restaurant

We arrived early not realizing they don't open until 4 on Tuesdays. They were still cleaning the restaurant and doing a thorough job, but we were still greeted warmly and welcomed to wait in the lounge. The retro-vibe, soothing music was perfect in the background. We were seated at our table at 4 on the dot. Being a chilly and rainy day, the hot toddies and coffee hit the spot. The bread was warm and fresh and was accompanied by butter, flavor filled oil AND ratatouille. The soups are homemade and tasted like it. It was piping hot. The clam chowder was very good and the snapper was some of the best we've had in years. The salads were crisp, fresh, and to our liking, included cucumbers, radish, red onion and chick peas. The classic French and Bleu cheese dressings were absolutely delicious. That early on a Tuesday you can pick from three different menus, the options and discounts are plentiful. We highly recommend the pork steak, the baked cod, mashed potatoes homemade and with a few lumps :-, and Brussel sprouts. The portions are quite generous. We brought half our dinners and all of our desserts home. While there and peeping what the other patrons ordered, we definitely decided that next time we will try their famous crab cakes no filler and the pot roast. Last, but definitely not least, a HUGE shout out to Tracy, she was kind, patient, prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable.

Good place to eat. I had fried scallops, and they tasted great. The soft drinks were small, and the beer selection could have been better. The Corona was a Corona Light, although it just said Corona. Service was fast, though, and the food, the most important thing, was excellent.Food: 5/5

Pricey, but food is very good. Smaller portions unfortunately, especially for my $30 Lobster Ravioli. The Bang Bang Shrimp tasted just like Bonefish Grill's, though! Wait staff was also very friendly, and the restaurant has a cozy atmosphere. Kid-friendliness: Staff friendly towards kids and restaurant offers kids menu. Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility ramp by exit sign.

What a fine time the staff at Charlotte's Restaurant extended to our family, my husband and me, on Friday, August 13, 2023. The luncheon menu was diverse, generously proportioned and delicious. Mel the server, was warm, professional, efficient and 'extremely' accommodating to our every request. The hostess Sarah arranged for our party to be seated in the private, 'Rustic Room,' which was a smart, strategic decision on her part, because our group is a talkative, boisterous bunch of sisters, brothers and their spouses, whose goal when we get together, is to try and speak the loudest over the others in attendance. 'Thank You' Charlotte's, for making our luncheon a wonderful, memorable experience. The Power Party

The hostess working last night turned down our table of 5 and said they didn’t have a table for at least an houron a TUESDAY night without even looking at her book. My husband is a restaurant manager and I have worked in the restaurant industry for many years as a server/bartender and there were plenty of tables available. It was clear as day that we were turned down simply because we had 3 young children with us. My children are well behaved and we tip very well but that’s besides the point. If you don’t have someone at least 50+ with you and absolutely no children when trying to eat here, don’t even bother. The ambiance was like an old church or retirement home but I’m not usually petty about that type of thing. Today I am though because of the way we were treated. You lost potential regulars because of your hostess. From reading previous reviews, I’m sure you’re okay with that anyway. Hope this helps a family like ours avoid a trip!! We ended up down the street at Sopranos and had a beautiful night. I will add that I can’t rate the food since we didn’t get to try it but it’s still a 1/5 for me.

Food is absolutely amazing! Me and my husband have been going there for years! We went for valentine's day dinner last night.Food: 5/5

This is a wonderful place that really cares about providing a great experience! The food is good, the bar is fun, and they have an awesome happy hour. They've spent so much effort decorating the place that they almost overdid it! And it feels a little like a funeral home as you walk in... LOL. But this effort is good thing. It is apparent in everything about this restaurant and you can feel it when you are here.

Bang bang shrimp - too much batter and too little sauce. Tasted alright. Famous crab cake - really good crab cake served in a bed of creamy sauce. The crab cake has large lumps of crab which I really do enjoy. Cajun swordfish - the fish was cooked well, served on a bed of rice with some olives, sun dried tomatoes and green chickpeas. The dish tasted good because of the strong flavours from the olives and tomatoes.

We were a party of 5 adults dining together. The decor was inviting. We had the chopped steak, chicken Katrina, Reuben sandwich, and one of the chicken specials that look like long thin breaded strips, they barely soup, mock turtle soup, tossed salad. Everybody enjoyed the meal that they got. Our server was attentive. Our table was comfortable in temperature and location. Newtown Square is way out of our neighborhood but when I read some of the other reviews I realized this was a nice little gem. I'm glad we came. I'm also glad that I was able to make a reservation in advance because Saturday sometime is an issue. Ample parking as well.

We just had our wedding ceremony and reception at Charlotte's restaurant and I couldn't be more pleased with everything. The room was immaculate the service was outstanding and the food was remarkable every single guest we had was completely satisfied with everything. Not one single hick up it was all 100% and I want to say thank you to the owner Jimmy for everything it will truly be a day to remember.
