   Georgie was our server she was excellent and the food was amazing. We also ordered dessert which was recommended by our server as well and what a great recommendation. Butter cake with caramel and ice cream. The lobster tail was huge and worth every penny. We also had a filet mignon that cut like butter. We will definitely return.

   As a returning guest I was not disappointed in either the food or the service. Charley’s is a top flight restaurant and it shows every time I have visited the establishment!

   Everything was fine. I find it annoying the amount of up selling they do on their sides. Also, the blue cheese for the salad was not crumbled, but a big blob.

   Friends recommended Charley's to us and we found the bar and bartenders very friendly... nice atmosphere.We had a party of 4 our wives had the 8oz Filets and enjoyed them, my son-in-law & I had the 18oz Prime N.Y. StripAnd I could barely chew it. Overall a fair experience for me,could've been just one bad cut of meat but didn't expect it from a $60.00 steak

   Everything was delicious. I would order everything again. We ordered the crab cakes, Caesar and house salad, Waygu steak and Angus ribeye with the lemon butter buerre blanc sauce, creme brulees for dessert and the watermelon cooler for my drink. Process seemed to have gone up a little since the last time we were here, but that's the same mostly everywhere. The food was worth it.

   Made reservations for special occasion and dressed up for the dinner. Disappointed to be placed away from main dining room. Very loud party nearby that were never asked to tone it down. House salad was old and soggy? The steaks were delicious but ambience was poor. Disappointed rather than pleased with the experience.

    The food was great, first time eating at a high end steak house. I knew going into it that prices would be expensive, but at least for items I am more familiar with from other places it seemed to be fairly priced for what you got. We went for our 6 year anniversary and the service was excellent and every staff member we had contact with wished us a happy anniversary. As for the food, we went all out, starting with the calamari and the gator bites. The calamari was nice and tender, the peppers too hot for me personally but good. The gator bites were amazing, the lemon flavor on them combined with the horseradish sauce they give you was a perfect pairing. We got the bacon and blue cheese added to one of our salads and omg you have to do that, the bacon is thick cut and delicious and the blue cheese was great (and more than enough for both of our salads). I was told by many friends I had to order the cedar plank cauliflower and it was delicious, but you do have to like cauliflower (the husband hates cauliflower so this delicious leftover is all mine). Husband got the mishima reserve wagyu and I got the dry aged ribeye (definitely could have split either one but we wanted to get to try both). Surprisingly, I loved the ribeye way more, and he loved the wagyu more. Got the truffle butter teriyaki with mushrooms added to the ribeye and it is amazing. Husband also got lobster tail, and personally I've had better but I've been to Boston numerous times. Definitely the best lobster I've had in FL, and he said it was the best he'd ever had. I also got both of their old fashioned's and they were both amazing, I love tequila and whiskey so the anejo old fashioned may not be for everyone but the presentation is amazing. I was also told I had to get the butter cake by friends, and the waiter recommended it as well, so we had tons of to go boxes already but ordered 2 butter cakes to go and when I got home and snuck a bite I could not stop at one bite, it was amazing.

    Charley's is easily my favorite steakhouse in Tampa! Our waiter, Fish, has served my party on numerous occasions, and his exemplary service every time makes me request him for each visit now. From the martinis, to the wine specials (the Peju cab last night was amazing!), and of course the steaks (which they cook on wood, like I do), everything is always excellent. Finished it off with a piece of butter cake (also amazing, as always!). Five hours of food and fabulous service...already looking forward to my next visit!

    Went for our anniversary and the meal started out with the wait staff being very curt and unfriendly. Once we brought out a wine bottle we wanted to drink and the corkage fee is now 50, this is a Florida restaurant not Napa. Food was ok. Steak was over cooked. Wanted better.

    Charlie’s never disappoints. Had an important dinner meeting and we could easily carry on conversation without too much noise or really any fear of people listening in. Steak was awesome, sides delicious, and the wine was on-point. Charlie’s is not a low cost night, but worth every penny.

    The steaks in my opinion were not tasty at all. believe or not the best thing I had there was the bread. if you like your steak rare this is not the place to go. Very expensive bread :)

    My king loves this restaurant at all , but it was my first time going there , so the room where we sat smelled like a humidity, my husband said nope , but for me It smelled like that. I did not understand the waiters because we order something and have to order with other waitress , because he forgot about us, The started we chose the calamari, and it was delicious, then I have a soup , one of the best soup I ever tested ! The bred was delicious, yummy and fresh. The food is excellent I chose the ribeye , is usually my favorite one, with a loaded potato,. My king chose prime steak with plain potato. My wine was delicious, I drank Cabernet Sauvignon Amiri , from Napa Valley , I usually choose Napa Valley is like a connection with many of their wine . I did not have room for the dessert, so is going to be in the next visit.

    Pricey! The steaks were good, the waiter was responsive and friendly but pushed extras, which drove up the bill. The only salads included with steaks are house, so having a Caesar instead will cost you $16. The a la carte sides are large, we ordered too many and the waiter didn’t guide us/ help us order appropriately. Overall, not worth the high price

    Steaks were great, but sides were generally underwhelming. Generous portions were nice, but not worth it if the food itself isn't very good.

    I gave 3 stars because of our sides and dessert and our 1 server. 3 of us got the regular 8oz filet mignon. It was not as good as on our last visit in February. Steaks were a bit dry and chewy. I’ve never had chewy filet cooked medium. My daughter got the Wagyu filet and it was MUCH better than ours. We will spend the extra $12 on that next time, if there is a next time. Sides were all good except the baked potato. It was old, pretty cold and not fluffy at all. Creamed corn, house salads, bread and garlic mashed potatoes were all great! We split the butter cake for dessert and that was the best part of the meal. Yum! Service was very strange! Our original server was a bit robotic, made no eye contact (actually drifted his eyes during his spiel) and was not overly personable.(didn’t smile once). He did the entire “meat cuts presentation”(that we have heard a dozen times) and made suggestions of other things even though we said twice that we were ready to order. It’s like we weren’t even there. He just went through the required motions. Then after all that, all of the sudden, we had a female server for the rest of our meal and she was very nice and friendly. We had to ask for drink refills from her because the guy server was MIA. She got them and then just took us over. The guy server delivered initial drinks, bread and salads and then we never saw him again until it was time to pay the bill. It was just all very strange and not the usual Charley’s experience. Will we be back? After last night, not sure. But not anytime soon and we will request not to be in his section and will definitely upgrade to the Wagyu filet. We spent $420 on dinner last night and were very underwhelmed overall. I’m checking “yes” to recommend below based solely on previous experiences but based on last night, it would be a “no”.

    The food is excellent. The ambience is way too noisy. The service was good, and the food came out timely up until the steaks...we waited 30 minutes for those to arrive after our appetizers and salad. Not ok. The prices are very high which I wouldn't mind if everything had been impeccable. On another and very minor note, the restaurunt has a dress code which I appreciate BUT they don't enforce it. Why have one if you don't follow it?
