Great food and ambiance. We did have to join a waitlist but it was very timely and staff was friendly. Our server was fast, nice and refilled out drinks without us asking. Food came out quick and extra points for being able to pay at the table using a QR code. I will be back for the honey butter croissants, and to try new menu items! read more

Great food, generous portions, and very reasonable prices. The service was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and welcoming.

The food is about what you would expect. It's a step up from a Texas Roadhouse. The service is fairly decent. Overall, the ambiance is dimly lit, but not relaxing. The seating is tight and there is not enough room for patrons to walk by without bumping into tables. read more

Had dinner here on aThursday evening. The place was busy. The service and food were great. I had the Chicken Picatta with a house salad with Champagne Vinaigrette as my side. The salad was fantastic. The dressing was light and fresh. It came with a perfectly baked lightly toasted croissant that had a light sweetness to it. The chicken was a thin cut lighter (perfect!) portion on angelhair pasta. It was delicious! read more

We always love family gatherings at Charlestons. Service is good. The menu is large enough to satisfy everyone!

We were looking for an intimate place to eat and found it at Charleston's. The atmosphere, food, and service were all great.

Obsessed with this place. I love the atmosphere. Service is great. Works well for food with friends, date night, or a business meeting. My favorite dishes are the shrimp cargo & anything prime rib. The French dip is just as delicious as the traditional prime rib and the croissants are out of this world. read more

This evening I had dinner with my family at this beautiful restaurant. The ambiance is very comfortable & classic. I love the diner style kitchen! We had Donald as our server & he was very attentive, informative & just a pleasure to our night. We started off the night with the flat bread pizza, which was amazing. For our entrees we had the Top Sirloin w/ mash potatoes, the Chicken fried chicken w/ mashed potatoes & burgundy mushrooms, & the ribs w/mashed potatoes & carrots. A house salad came w/ the top sirloin steak entree & was good just wish I came with more tomatoes. The food was delicious! Everyone loved their entrees & bought extras to-go. Desert was the best, we had the Adams's Cheesecake. It was the perfect blind of rich & sweet. Parking wasn't hectic & the wait was bearable (30 minute wait on a Friday evening). We all plan on having our family dinners here more often. read more

Our family really enjoyed great food and ambience. The staff were also very friendly and attentive.

Very kind staff. Food is consistently good. Comfortable atmosphere and seating. We go at least once a month.

Giving a negative review due to hostess problem. Waiter did a great job and food was excellent. Hostess made us feel very unwelcome which is unusual for this restaurant. read more

One of the best things, besides the terrific service and tasty, well prepared meals is the fact some of the offerings are big enough to share. My wife and I especially enjoy sharing the ribs and tenders platter. This menu item comes with two sides. The restaurant offers comfortable seating. If you haven't tried Charleston's yet, you must put it on your to do list. read more

Consistency in food and service. Martini's are exceptional. House Salad with croissant a nice touch.

I've eaten at this location monthly for a number of years and have never experienced a bad meal. They define consistency and quality. The wait staff is always friendly and attentive. We've tried practically everything on the menu and it's always been excellent. The roasted chicken is a favorite and getting French salad dressing is something not found much anymore. Even when busy one can engage in a normal conversation. read more

Great ambiance. Excellent food flavors and generous portions. Excellent and attentive servers that care about the experience of the diners. Wonderful and will come back again. read more

Charleston's has first class food being fresh and delicious. I just learned the chips for the dips are made in house. No wonder so crisp. Not to mention the best bartenders within 50 miles. The prices are reasonable and have customers that return daily. read more

The Am host Jordin I believe she said her name was, Was just a sweetheart. She was so kind and understanding on the phone and helped my wife get to are table. Didn't make her feel rushed or anything like some other host. The food here is amazing. Especially the prime rib which I wish was on the menu more! I recommend this place to all my grandkids and children. I will be returning as soon as I can. read more

Love the service at Charleston the wait staff is always above and beyond. Sometime is does take a little time to be seated even with call ahead seating , but worth the wait! The food is always great and dessert definitely delicious! read more

This has been our go to place for years. Every other time we have had great food and ok to good service. Last night, food was meh, service was slow and honestly just not even average on attentiviness. The blackened fish was not good, salads came out after the meal and were watery. Main dish salad was ok but came a very long time after other meals arrived. Took forever to get drinks and then forever to even put orders in. A waitress dropped an entire birthday cake as she was hurrying behind our table onto floor. Blamed a chair that had been placed there and had been there for well over an hour before this happened as the culprit but seriously she had walked by the chair countless times prior to this. She was just not being careful as the cake slid off the plate due to the foam/paper it was on slides around. It was very busy for a Thursday night and seemed to have plenty of staff. Front of house needs efficiency and customer service training and BOH was off on timing. Closer to 2 stars than 3 but hate to give 2 when in the past they usually deliver. read more

The place is great. The service is fast. The food was good. I really disliked the drinks. They were strong and tasteless.

Limited menu, but everything ive had there is excellent. The street tacos are especially tasty.

We have been going to Charleston's in Carmel for years. The food and drinks are delicious and consistent, the servers are personable and attentive, and the dining area and seating is cozy and comfortable. I haven't had a bad meal or dining experience here. read more

Ribs fell off the bone. Literally ate them with a fork. Bourbon Mushrooms were amazing. Service was impeccable. Every time I needed something, someone was already walking toward me. Felt really well taken care of. Light and comfortable atmosphere. Nice, but not bougie. Great dining experience! read more

Good food nice atmosphere and attentive staff. We like to call in early seating so we don't have to wait too long. The atmosphere is cozy by not formal. Even with the high ceilings they have managed with their furnishings to keep the noise done. We can actually hear each other! Just a warm and inviting upscale pub. read more

Visited Charlestons for lunch during the Hamilton County Great Dine Out. The program provided a free Spinach Dip Appetizer. I normally don't care for spinach dip (with artichokes or otherwise) but this was good. My wife really liked it. For lunch we both got the soup and salad combo. I got the potato soup and my wife got the chicken tortilla. Both were good but we both preferred the potato. The chicken tortilla was more a thick cream type rather than a broth base. It was good... just preferred the other. The salads were normal house salads. The lettuce quality was good. The Champagne dressing was fabulous!! Would absolutely order it again. We got croissants included with our lunch. They were hot and fresh. My wife said the honey butter was "to die for". Our server was wonderful! Very knowledgeable about the menu, offered great suggestions, and was very friendly. I wish I could recall her name to give her a shout out. Our food was served promptly and the bill was accurate ... even with the free appetizer taken off. The service alone would give Charleston's a 5 star. It is additive that the food was also good and the atmosphere was very nice as well. We will return! read more

I've found myself at Charleston's twice this year - once for a happy hour with coworkers and once with friends for a late lunch. With so many dining options in Carmel and nearby, a chain restaurant like Charleston's isn't top of mind for me. Each time I've visited, I've been impressed with the quick and friendly service and the restaurant space in general - although, there is not a patio. The food is good, but not great. If I'm going to spend money to dine out, there are quite a few other places I'd opt to go before Charleston's. Still, it's not bad. read more

Always have great food with amazing service! We love Charleston's. My husband has to eat gluten free and they have a good selection of gf items that are not just the usual burger on gf bun you get at other places. We love the upscale ambience but at casual prices. read more

Love this place! It is warm and inviting and never have to wait long for a table. From the hostess to the busters, everyone was friendly and efficient. Our food was delicious and "just enough". We definitely will return the next time we are in the area. read more

Let's start with service. Incredible. We had Mike, who was attentive, knowledgeable and always kept our drinks filled. When we left, not only did Mike wish us a good evening, but so did two other servers we passed along the way and another who held the door open for us. This wasn't just good service, it was professional service. The food was spectacular. Tuscan flatbread appetizer was good enough to ask for "refills" and eat it for the whole meal. All entrees were excellent. It was the kind of meal that can turn around someone's mood. The restaurant is beautiful inside, with exposed stone and brick. It was a little noisy, but that is to be expected with a packed house of people enjoying their food. 100% would recommend! read more

Excellent food and service. Reasonable prices for all you get. Would recommend for 2-4 people, more than that it gets hard to hear.

Atmosphere is classy casual. You would be okay to dress up or go casual. Cozy feel to the whole place. The service was good. A lot of different people helping to bring drinks, food, etc which I always love. Our waitress was prompt and kind but not overly friendly. Drinks- blueberry mule was delicious. I'm kind of a Moscow mule snob, and this one was delicious. My husband had a glass of Buffalo Trace. I don't think they have a huge bourbon selection, as they had no list. Food: the croissants - chefs kiss. Soooo good. I don't think they are complimentary but def ask for a basket of fresh croissants. My husband was super excited about order grouper. He thought it was for sure be served whole since it was $50 and it wasn't. He said it was delicious, but not worth the price tag. My prime rib was delicious. But also don't feel like it was worth $40. My son ordered the cheeseburger and asked for it plain and it came out with no cheese. They took it back to add cheese and manager brought it back out. No issue what so ever. Simple mistake, no harm no foul. Overall this was a great experience and I would come back for a special occasion to try some other items. Pretty pricey, but the quality of service and food is there. $160 + tip for family of 4, one ordering from kids menu. But also two drinks. read more

Food was good here! I really enjoyed the service & I had such a fun server. Her name is Katrina! Super energetic and lovely, phenomenal hospitalizing and super great with communication. We ordered salad w/ croutons & a crossiant( and these croutons were so delicious! I love the crossiants, they were so fluffy & butter, straight perfection. I ordered steak with mashed potatoes and the other person ordered salmon w/ broccoli. The steak was seasoned, and cooked beautifully. The mashed potatoes were pretty creamy and rich. Felt like there was some sauce missing tho, that's okay. Nonetheless I didn't try the salmon/broccoli. At the end; they gave us a free complimentary cheesecake from Derek(manager) for being nice and patient about eveyrthing & we took that home and didn't get a chance to eat it since they were closing. Overall, great service & great food! Delicious dinner overall. Ambiance felt really calm and chill, it was a dark interior with some dim lights. Solid experience. 4/5! read more

The review below is EXACTLY as I posted on Charleston's website on June 16 - the day after Father's Day - the night in question. In the week that passed I received zero contact from anyone at Charleston's. My wife and I have dined at the Carmel Charleston's for more than a dozen years - it has been dependable and comfortable with sepcific dishes we enjoyed. We made a 7 PM reservation for Father's Day, and arrived promptly. We were told a table would be ready as soon as it had been cleaned. At just past 7:15 I asked how long it takes to clean a table. The female manager/shift manager, blonde, (I don't have her name and I don't want to wrongly accuse someone), asked for my name, which I gave. She asked if I said a different name - the lobby of the restaurant was crowded and loud. This time I repeated my name, spelling it, in a louder tone of voice to ensure being heard. She picked up a couple menus and had us follow her into the dining room. While being escorted to our table, she said to my wife she had never been so insulted before. My wife asked by what, but did not get an answer. My wife, who has 30 years experience in food service, mostly as a chef, then told her to breath/relax, and she took offense to that. Something was definittely off. When she passed by our table later my wife stopped her, tried to offer an apology for whatever slight was perceived, and she couldn't leave fast enough. Our server Chelsea was not the least bit friendly either. We order our food - chicken piccata - for each of us - was my favorite at Charleston's. It took just over 40 minutes for our food to be served. My wife's chicken was tough (mine was ok), and both orders seem to be getting smaller and smaller with each visit. The asparagus on both our plates in the piccata was hard as a rock - felt like chewing a tree trunk. I had the glazed carrots, which for the first time was served on the same plate as the picata. My pasta tasted like the glaze, and my carrots tasted like the piccata sauce. I have ALWAYS had the glazed carrots in a separate dish. When our server finally came back to our table, and I mentioned the various issues just described, she said she would get a manager. The blonde female manager came to our table, but kept walking right past our table. A few minutes later another manager approached our table - tall gentleman, lanky - Adam Skees, to whom we repeated the same concerns that we shared with the server (who never offered to refill our water glasses). At NO point did Adam offer to fix the problem. Instead, he made excuses as to why the carrots were served on the entree plate, did not address my wife's tough chicken at all, nor did he address the hard as a rock asparagus - two piles on our plates. We had the same issue with the asparagus in the picata when we last visited on May 11. Our server that evening, a delight FYI, resolved that problem immediately - brought us a dish of fresh, properly cooked asparagus. Adam, an alleged manager, never made such an obvious offer. He simply made excuses, and left us completely unhappy. Our Father's Day dinner was the worst experience we have ever had at Charleston's, and I think our hard-earned dollars can best be spent elsewhere. We live 10 minutes away and for a nice break, to go to Charleston's or Texas Roadhouse right next door, is good after long days - very good serevice and steaks at TR. read more

Service is always fantastic and food is delicious! Love the gas lanterns, reminds me of when I lived in Charleston
