    Great service! Only thing is I requested a seat upstairs by the window but was seated downstairs in the patio area. When I made the reservation online via OpenTable the only two options for reservations were the bar and patio and I chose patio, but I added the note for my seating preference in the additional comments sections. Day of I called to confirm my seating request and was told I couldn’t get that seating because I chose patio online.

    Everything Duro Hospitality does is a hit, and The Charles is no exception! The service was impeccable, the drinks were top notch, and the food was delectable! We had a large party and showed up to the back bar an hour before for pre dinner drinks and they were so accommodating to take care of us and always kept us informed of the table. They treated the birthday guest to an amazing glass of champagne, and made the whole experience amazing. Charles was our server and he was great! Nate the Manager on duty as well as his whole staff was absolutely amazing. We will be back so many more times, and I am so happy that Duro has this gem in their repertoire!
