We had a baby shower there on Saturday February 3, 2024. Started out with a tab bar but converted to running a tab the last 1 1/2 hours. There were 43 ladies. So in that short period of time they rang up a $600 bar tab! They said in that time period they made 39 mimosas and a few other things. We were really taken back. We feel they were just adding things on the bill to bump up bill. At the table I was sitting at not ONE person was drinking. At my daughter in law's mother's table no one was drinking either. Basically 4 of the 6 tables were not drinking. At the other 2 tables there were pregnant women. There were only about 6 women drinking. How can they have drank 39 mimosas in 1 1/2 hours????? If you have an event there you need to be aware of their un-honest practices.

Enjoyed the tuna pizza which is a must have. Ordered Blackened Salmon- Blackened refers to spicy seasoning, not overcooking the fish. What I received was burnt Salmon which I should have sent back but was honestly full from the pizza. Just disappointing.

I went here for my mother’s birthday and the food was delicious. It’s the winter season so not as packed as summer but the atmosphere was nice! Our server seemed new but was pleasant. I have the shrimp ravioli which was delicious.

What a great night!! Looking for a special place to visit with family and Charley's is perfect! Live music was fantastic! (A bit loud). Food was great decorated beautifully.. just a perfect night ! Thanks Charley's!

We had an amazing waitress at Charley's. Super sweet and attentive. Our appetizers were delicious (tuna tartare and pirogies)!! Our drinks were perfect too!! It went downhill with our meals. My husband had the lobster tacos and I had the shrimp ravioli's. The lobster tacos had a weird spice in them (I could get passed that) and it was super fishy. Like inedible fishy!! The shrimp ravioli was terribly fishy too and the grilled shrimp on top was overcooked. I'm so disappointed!!! It's a cute place! The wait staff and hostess were all so nice! I didn't even complain to anyone. Just paid my bill and left.

Charley’s Ocean Grill has the makings of a great local spot. It was quiet the night we went, so the atmosphere was not lively or upbeat. The decor was recently updated, so it looks fresh. I had the French Onion Soup, the melted cheese was delicious but the broth itself was a bit too salty. But still enjoyable. I had the fried fish sandwich. The fish was fried in a light batter but it had a spice that I wasn’t familiar with. The staff was nice and were eager to help. I think the next time I visit I will try other items of the menu.

The food was OK. The waitress was friendly and prompt. The ocean view would have been incredible but It is now obstructed by foliage. I will return when the upstairs is open and will be able to check out the ocean view.
