Good food, mediocre service – First off, I find it terrible that all the five star reviews for this place are over five years old(check for yourself) yet they still have a good rating. I had never heard of this place until the day we made reservations. Although, after reading about it, I was excited to check it out. The food was amazing. Essentially, you pick how many courses you would like, and what you would like each one to be, and they take it from there. Mind you, dinner for two will run you well over 200. Dinner was gr... read more
too expensive for great bread – Call me crazy but I think for $278 for 2 before tip you should be raving about the restaraunt the entire ride home, My husband(who I surprised for his birthday ) was poliely quiet about my choice! I had cashed an expense check for $285 thinking that would be enough. Wrong I had to use my visa!! My husband & I go out every Friday night & this place is a rip off. Too bright for romantic seating, We felt rushed. The food was o.k. but hard to enjoy when for this price you expect perfection. Would ... read more
Manager with an Attitude – Took guests on Saturday evening. Food was fine, staff knowledgeable and helpful with special diet requests, but service was spotty as it was hard to get the attention of the staff which seemed to be somewhat over worked. Perhaps the lesson is don't dine there on a Saturday night. My wife spoke to the manager (Bill) today thinking they would like to know of the service problem. He asked the name of the waitress and my said she could not recall but the girl was "heavy set". The manager then stated th... read more
OVERPRICED AND OVERRATED – CHARLESTON- WORST FINE DINING IN BALTIMORE I would not recommend this establishment to anyone. I read the other reviews where diners had mentioned getting sick from the meals they ate at the Charleston! I, too, got sick after the meal, and remained sick the rest of the weekend. The person I dined with was sick by the middle of the meal. The food was so rich and heavy, upsetting his stomach, causing him to get up from the table (in the middle of our meal) to take a walk around the block to ease the ... read more
Charleston.....Worst Fine dining in Baltimore – I would not recommend to my worst enemy. Besides the fact that I ended up getting sick as I threw up the entire evening and besides the fact that 3 of the 4 people I dined with spent the next day on the toilet, I felt completely ripped off. The portions are extremely small, the quality of the food primarily the beef was of very poor quality, the service was professional but fair at best, the prices were absolutely rediculous ( and I dine regularly at The Prime Rib , Ruths Chris... read more
Move it in and Move it out – Highly disappointed with the overall experience. This is merely another attempt for the Baltimore "elite? to attempt to fit in. If you want high class dining experience please do not go to the Charleston. While you will find the menu, both wine and food, to be exceptional your overall experience is stifled by the cattle like herding of the staff. First, they shuffle you in to the bar for an over priced cocktail. This move is expected however very low rent in my opinion. The next move is to rush y... read more
Expensive but well woth it! – I am a total foodie and I was in heaven! Amazing. The plates are small, but it's a tasting menu so this is to be expected. The service staff is knowledgeable on both the dinner and wine menus. Every dish was mouth watering from the soup down to the desert. If you can afford it, ask the wait staff to pair a fresh glass of wine with each course and go for the full tasting menu. It will be well worth it! Definitely a date night or special occasion restaurant, as dinner and drinks and gratuity for t... read more
The Standard to judge other restaurants by – Every time it seems we do high dollar dining... and go somewhere else... I always say...well, that was nice, but it's not as good as 'Charleston'. Worth every penny.
