Good Charlie's

The server was new, but even grading on a curve, the service was pretty poor. He forgot my wife’s drink and it took more than ten minutes after he finally put it in. 30+ minutes total to get it. He went missing for long stretches and we had to ask other servers for help with water, which is pretty basic. He also didn’t know the gluten free options and didn’t go ask the kitchen until we asked him to. The food was good, but it was salty. Fish was well cooked and the chicken was tender. We may give them another chance, but this was not a good first impression.

We ate here for lunch today and it was great. This was our first visit since they opened and what a nice restaurant inside. Great staff and excellent service. We needed gluten-free for my wife, and the server (Chris?) knew everything about the menu and confirmed it with the chef. Their shrimp & artichoke dip was amazing. I liked their gumbo, too. The redfish Pontchartrain was really good and reasonably priced. The boiled shrimp was cooked perfectly and served with a great sauce. All in all, it was a great first impression.
