The menu offers great quality, and the prices are very reasonable, especially for the portions and overall experience. The atmosphere is one of the best parts of the restaurant. It's warm, inviting, and especially beautiful during the holidays when it's decorated for the season. The restaurant is always clean, and we also enjoy the bar and cozy lounge area, which make it a great place to relax before or after dinner. The only minor downside is that the parking lot is a bit small, and I wish they were open on Sundays and Mondays since those are popular days to dine out. Overall, Ward's Bridge Inn is a fantastic local gem with delicious food, great value, and an atmosphere that keeps us coming back. Highly recommended!

First time here in a decade, and now I remember why. Meh food with the service to match and high…read moreprices. I ordered the "Crispy Wings." There was absolutely nothing crispy about them. They were tiny; think College Dive Bar 25 cent Wednesday Wing Night small with a thin coating of meek mild sauce. Not sure what it was tbh. The bartender asked how they were after a bit. I looked at her, shrugged, and said, "Eh..." She seemed perfectly content with that answer. I ate three wings and stopped. When she asked if I wanted them wrapped, I said no. After decades in the service industry, I've learned that a customer who barely touches their food and doesn't want a box is a huge red flag. I didn't want to outright complain because I know what it's like to deal with customers in the service industry. I almost never complain. I hoped my reaction would've opened a door for me to discuss. Apparently not. When I got up to leave, after paying and tipping 20%, I mentioned that the wings had been pretty terrible. Rather than showing any curiosity, she immediately became defensive and suggested it was my fault for not saying something sooner. I explained that between the shrug, the "eh," and leaving most of the order untouched, I thought I'd communicated my opinion fairly clearly. Her response was essentially, "You were on your phone the whole time. I didn't want to bother you." The tone was super condescending whether she realized it or not. Also it's a strange conclusion to jump to. People can be on their phones for reasons other than scrolling social media. In my case, I was coordinating a surprise graduation effort with coworkers and discussing student gifts. Regardless, a customer quietly eating three wings out of an order and pushing the plate away should probably warrant more attention than whether they're looking at a screen. To be fair, she makes a very good Old Fashioned. Credit where it's due. At $16 each, though, I probably would've stopped at two had I known. I just assumed the pricing would be more in line with the rest of town. Three modest sized Makers Mark old fashioneds and five bar wings- 72 bucks. 85 with tip despite the vibe she gave. She was still working and deserves correct pay despite being generally unpleasant. And as I don't know if she was having an off day- I also wouldn't jump to conclusions about a Person- it's almost never right to tip less than 20%.

Google Review 88…read moreCharles has become one of our regular spots. We've been coming here for years, and it's amazing to see the transformation from the old Italian restaurant it used to be. The new ownership really elevated the experience and brought something fresh to the town. The food has always been consistently good. If you're visiting for the first time, the Tomahawk steak is a must-try--not only is it delicious, but the tableside presentation is a show in itself. The cocktails are excellent, and the desserts are a perfect way to end the meal. The restaurant is spacious, with a nice bar area and a beautiful patio that's perfect during the warmer months. They even have heaters for the colder seasons before closing the patio for winter. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the food and overall experience, which is one of the reasons we keep coming back. The only suggestion I have for management is to pay more attention to the main entrance. The area around the ATM often has stacked chairs, boxes, or other items that make the entrance look cluttered. It's a small detail, but first impressions matter, and the entrance should reflect the quality of the restaurant inside. Overall, this is one of our favorite local restaurants, and we always enjoy coming back. Just remember they're closed on Tuesdays. Highly recommended.

It can be a date night, family get together or just dinner on a regular day. I always live hearing the specials and usually I'm not a specials kind of guy but there's always something in their specials that grabs my attention and is always delicious. If you're a steak person their steak is always on point. Good quality meat. The herb butter on the strip was the perfect compliment to the perfectly charred juicy steak. 88 Charles street has become a special place for us. Love it everytime we go.

Their pizza is one of the very best pies we have had anywhere; excellent crust, tomato sauce and oh my that cheese! Seldom do you get a pie where the tomato sauce has not been masked or at the very least, minimized by the cheese. Amalfi manages to give you a pizza that is a well balanced symphony of ingredients.

Even the Field Greens Salad with Raspberry Walnut Vinegarette was a stand out, stand up take notice beginning to our meal.

The calamari was overcooked which dried up the squid tremendously that it was hard to bite and chew. One bite was enough to say no. The burger I ordered medium and again was over cooked and under seasoned. The service was so looong that it took us two hours to finish our dinner. Our lovely waitress did her best with a smile to assist, but looked like she was the only one attending to most of the tables. Water service was 20 minutes after we arrived. She tried her best to come back for our orders but that took a while again. Food took some time as well since there was a big group in several tables. For dessert, we ordered a scoop of ice cream and that took more than 7 minutes to come out when there were only 4-6 patrons in the dining room. If we ever come back, it would be at the bar, for drinks. Food and service at the dining section, not recommended anymore.
