The last time we were in this space, my kids and I were sitting at the soda fountain of the old HP Pharmacy. WOW!The ‘unreasonable hospitality’ of the talented Mr. Charles team in this beautiful new space made our evening truly magical! We were surprised and delighted with each course & interaction. Finally, a place that makes going out for a meal worth every penny! Now we have a tough decision to make between The Charles (our previous favorite) and Mr Charles…

Went here with my boyfriend for our anniversary, this restaurant well exceeded my expectations!! I got the garlic stuffed beef tenderloin and my boyfriend got the Elk loin. Both dishes were phenomenal! I definitely would recommend this restaurant. The only thing I would honestly complain about is probably the people who were at the bar, they were loud and it was pretty hard to visit. I would also say it takes a while, so make sure you’re not in a rush.

We eat at Next about every two months. We make a reservation in advance and always get seated promptly. Service has always been great, and so is the food. We don't drink, so cannot comment on the wine selection. From what I hear at other tables, it appears to be quite a selection. I do prefer to sit in the main dining room for better ambiance , but we have sat in the back room as well.
