Was there for a family birthday dinner. Barbeque chicken pizza was . The birthday cake was a celebration cake, which was awesome as well. Your water glass always has Ice and is never empty. The service was amazing. If you've never been before, the menus are separated. Like, there is no mixed drink menu, but a wine menu. They do have sodas but you have to ask. And the dessert menu is separate as well. All of which you have to ask for. But it was great, really great!

Food was the star of the show. The lobster bisque was amazing. Service was also amazing, everyone is always friendly. Bread service for an italian place is a solid F, wal-mart bread at best, but the rest of the food is why I am there!!!

This place is amazing! They were super quick and there was plenty of supporting staff which was rare to see nowadays due to Covid. The Cosmo was probably one of the best cosmos I’ve had and I would say the same about the lasagna. Lasagna was only 20 bucks which isn’t a bad price for a six layer piece of homemade lasagna that taste like heaven.

Great find 15 min from Chesterfield. Hollywood Casino has plenty of parking. It can provide additional entertainment. But food and service - that’s why you go to Charlie’s. Tried daily special - chowder and red snapper. All was delicious. Carrot cake was great.

We ate there last Sunday. We made a reservation, however, ended up sitting at the bar outside of the restaurant and really enjoyed the service, the game was on the TV, they had smaller portion appertisers for the bar patrons, which was perfect for us because we split everything including the appetizers and all the food came out very good and hot and quick. The bartender made some fabulous drinks. It was such a pleasant experience we can't wait to go back.

We had an Amazing experience! While it being a busy Saturday night with concerts, the wait staff was quick and courteous! Our food was out in a timely fashion and on point! The manager Chris, still found time while bussing tables and running food made time to make sure our experience was up to par. Will definitely be back!

Wonderful italian. Nice atmosphere. It’s inside the casino, so there is a bit of a walk. Easier than parking on the hill though. Had a Sicilian pizza and some great chicken penne. The real star was desert!! Cheesecake was so smooth! But the cannoli!! The best I’ve ever had! Will be back!
