Focusing predominately on fresh local seafood with a French, Lowcountry flare, Charlie’s is the place for good food, good wine and unforgettable memories all enjoyed in a quaint French country atmosphere.A Savannah native, Charlie Golson’s interest in the French language and culture took him to Paris. After a long stint in the fast paced hotel kitchens of Washington DC, he was ready to move back closer to home. It was at that time he was able to open up a one room French bistro. The restaurant has grown over the years, but the ‘Green Star’ remains steadfast in offering the finest ingredients the Low country has to offer with a menu that is hand written daily. Resort Casual.

    We enjoyed our meal at Miramare Italian, which included a tasty blue crab linguini and bolognese with gnocchi. The food was wonderful and serving size was just about right. The selection of appetizers is excellent, but they are a bit pricey. Our server was upbeat, informative and attentive. The two seat tables are a bit close together, but overall the ambiance and background music was enjoyable. A great choice for Italian food in the Low Country.
