I made reservations for my wife and I for an early Friday dinner. We were seated in a back room with three tables. Our table wobbled so bad we about lost our drinks twice. I ordered Escargot and my wife ordered the artichoke souffle to start. The escargot were ok, honestly the frozen ones from whole foods are a tick better. I ordered the lobster bisque and again it was ok l was underwhelmed. The artichoke souffle had 3 or 4 of the hard inedible outer leaves mixed in. Again it was ok but no attention to detail. My wife enjoyed the Coq au Vin she ordered. I ordered the Gaucho steak mid rare. The steak came out a bit over done but passable, the shrimp with it were bland and just ....ok. we both got mixed drinks my wife, a chocolate espresso martini, which she loved, I ordered an off menu mocha old fashion which our server nailed. All in all I really wanted this place to impress me! However, like so many other reviewers I was underwhelmed, especially at the price point I would expect more.

I worked here briefly and what other people are saying is true. He’s very very disrespectful to his workers and does not pay them on time or at all. His dishwasher hasn’t been paid in months. It was the worst experience of my life. The only reason I got my final check finally was because me and a few other coworkers had to file against him. Don’t support this business.

We went in last night for dinner! It was fantastic we have gone in multiple times and have always had a great experience! The food was phenomenal! For appetizers we got crab cakes, baked bree, a salad, and a nightly special, the crab cakes were delicious as well as all the appetizers! For drinks we got Italians sodas and cocktails which were all great, the Italian soda has the most delicious homemade whip cream! For entrees we got a Thai coconut halibut which was amazing, as well as the American Waygu Tomahawk which is one of the best steaks i’ve ever had in my life. Finally for dessert we got a creme brûlée which was super good it was cooked perfectly! The staff was excellent the chef showed us to our table and greeted us, our server was so kind, knowledgeable and friendly! All the other staff that helped us were also extremely kind inviting and friendly! The atmosphere was so cool, the outside of the restaurant was so beautiful and well maintained with seating outside as well! The inside was friendly and inviting. But the inside has been pretty cold every time we have came in so I would recommend wearing something warm. But overall the experience was fantastic, amazing food, staff, and atmosphere! We will absolutely continue coming here as we have in the past, never once had a bad experience!Dietary restrictions: We had someone allergic to fish, we let them know, we were able to order fish for other people at the table without cross contamination! They did a fantastic job at making sure everything was safe to eat with the dietary restrictions.Parking: Plenty of spots!Kid-friendliness: You can have kids with you they must be 12 years or older.
I worked here and ended up quitting due to the way I was being treated. I was written 2 checks that he says he cancelled, but my bank says it was due to insufficient funds. Chef Marco has refused to pay me and I have now gone to the Labor Comission. He has had issues in the past with employees checks bouncing and him not paying his employees on time. The food, cooks and servers are amazing and they work their butts off and get no praise or recognition. However, the owner has got to be one of the rudest and most disrespectful people I know. He owes me quite a bit of money and he refuses to pay me. He is horrible to guests and doesn't care about their opinion. I would not support this business just because of him.

So recently my girlfriend used to work here the owner is very arrogant and titled he wrote a check to my girlfriend but when my girlfriend decide to quit because of the conditions he then canceled the check then messed up on her hours so he wrote her a check and then cancel that one without even notified her we then showed up and asked him why would he do that especially since we have text messages showing that he owes her money he then replied take me to court I'm not paying you this is what's sad about some business owners middle-class people are what hold our nation together it's so sad when the wealthy have to screw the middle class out would not recommend this place whatsoever this is not the only case if you talk to the Labor commission he has multiple people he has not paid please do not support this business take your business somewhere else I also posted bad reviews on Google and and other review places

My partner and I dined here last week and it was amazing. We decided to try again on Monday as we were craving the food again. We hoped it was as good as the first time. This time was even better than last time! The tables, silverware and decor is beautiful. The setting of the restaurant is really nice. Our server Jacob was incredible. He made the drinks perfectly each time! The food was insane! Each bite was better than the last. The filet and ribeye are seriously the best pieces of meat we ever had. What do they put on the ribeye? It’s so good! The sides of mashed potatoes and asparagus and haircots verts are so tasty. The deserts were also just as good. The chocolate mousse and crème brûlée was so flavorful. We had the best dinner of our lives. The server, food and ambiance is perfect. We are craving it again!
Absolutely stunning!The Owner/Chef is amazing. So passionate about the dishes served and is always so kind and welcoming.Order anything off of the menu, you will not be disappointed.
If I could give "The Charleston Draper" zero stars, I would. The owner of this restaurant, Marco, is so disrespectful in so many ways. He has shown total disregard and disrespect for his employees and waiting staff. I saw firsthand how he made his servers bring him alcoholic drinks on the job while he sat in the back room drinking and watching the cameras of the restaurant behind the doors. He did not help, his staff in anyway even when it was really busy. The food is way overpriced, and I know the desserts are not even made by this restaurant and are purchased from another company where he buys them premade and sells them at a higher price for the customers. The owner is dishonest and rude. I witnessed him belittle and ridicule the wait staff with multiple people. I did not have a single positive interaction with the owner. I will never come back again.

My partner and I came to eat here for the first time tonight and it was hands down, from start to finish the best meal and service we ever had. The atmosphere and decor is lovely and beautiful. Our server Nate was just incredible. We had a perfect table in the back that was very private. There is a large bar selection and our drinks were made perfectly. There was a large selection of food, so it made it hard to choose what to eat! Haha! The pacing of the food was amazing. You never felt rushed. Normally we don’t like the ribeye cut of meat but it was so flavorful. Everything we ate was so good. Compliments to the Chef! You will not be disappointed eating here.

An exceptional evening of fine dining. We enjoyed the rib eye and pasta, but the apple and pear crisp was insanely good, too. Great atmosphere and Michelin star service, too. We look forward to returning. For us, it was well worth the drive down from Alta! A++++
