The menu had a large variety The seafood was very fresh and large portions. I had shrimp stuffed with crab-meat and I could actually taste the crabmeat it was not all bread crumb. The space was bright and decorated very nice. There was plenty of room between tables and we did not feel we were sitting on top of everyone. We are from Long Island where you get some of the freshest seafood. The quality was as good as we have eaten on Long Island. We definitely will be going back.

The space is tastefully decorated with nautical and ocean-inspired elements, featuring navy blue and white walls. Our waiter was immediately aware of my food allergies and my husband's celiac condition. He guided us through the menu with confidence, offering thoughtful recommendations based on our dietary restrictions and personal tastes. Many of the dishes could be customized in terms of preparation and side choices, which we appreciated. For drinks, my husband ordered his usual--a margarita--while I decided to try something new and went with the Backyard Iced Tea. His margarita was freshly made and even better served in a Yankees glass. The Backyard Iced Tea was fantastic--refreshing, not too sweet (which I loved), and it truly tasted like iced tea with a hint of lemon. Unlike a Long Island Iced Tea, it wasn't overly alcoholic or sugary, which suited my preferences perfectly. For dinner, my husband ordered one of the specials: Cajun-style red snapper with a side of sautéed spinach and a house salad (no croutons, with blue cheese dressing). I chose the broiled trio--lobster tail, shrimp, and cod--along with sautéed spinach and a house salad dressed with balsamic vinaigrette. Everything was delicious. The salads were fresh, and the balsamic dressing was excellent. My seafood was perfectly cooked and seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika, then served with lemon and clarified butter. My husband's snapper was outstanding--probably the best I've ever tasted--and the sautéed spinach complemented both of our dishes beautifully. Overall, our meals were phenomenal. When we're craving seafood, we'll definitely be coming back.

Charlotte's Restaurant & Catering is a modern American restaurant and catering company that opened…read morein Millbrook, New York in 2006. It was founded by husband and wife Mikael and Alicia Moller. Mikael started out as a restaurant apprentice in Sweden when he was just 13. He immigrated to New York City in 1981 and worked at several high-profile restaurants. Mikael met Charlotte when he began working as a chef for Charlotte's Catering where she was also working. After marrying in 1989, they bought the catering business. After a trip to Millbrook, they fell in love with the area and wanted to open a restaurant in town. They purchased the building that housed Allyn's Restaurant in 2006 and renamed it "Charlotte's Restaurant". The location was built in the 19th century as a church before being converted into a theater and finally a restaurant space. My wife and I recently dined at Charlotte's while we were visiting Millbrook. We were celebrating our sixth anniversary with a stay at Wing's Castle nearby. Charlotte's came highly recommended. We really liked all of the Autumn decor adorning the dining room. We started things off with some Autumn-inspired cocktails: I had the "Apple Pie Martini" while my wife had the "Warm Cider with Spiced Rum". They both really hit the spot. For entrees, I had the "Cornish Game Hen (with quinoa, butternut squash, pickled sweet peppers and rosemary sauce) while my wife had the "Creamy Lobster Mac & Cheese" (Maine lobster, bacon bits, herbed bread crumb with mixed greens and citrus vinaigrette). We both really enjoyed our food! After the dessert menu came around, we decided to share a delicious "Apple Galette" (local Granny Smith apple, sweet pastry crust, vanilla ice cream). It was a perfect way to end an excellent meal. We really enjoyed our experience at Charlotte's and highly recommend them for anyone visiting Millbrook!

More recently, a coworker of mine mentioned she had dined here. Hubs and I had just finished with a gender reveal party in Stony Point and decided to come here then afterwards head up home. Ship L. has a warm, woodsy charm with dark woods, a large bar area to the right as you enter. This place has a spacious dining area on the left with an old-school energy that feels just right for a long-standing rest'nt like this one. Service was great from everyone: friendly, attentive and welcoming all around. That said, awesome service and history can only carry a restaurant but so far. We were told their long-standing chef of 30+ yrs either resigned(?) or didn't want to work here(?) and based on what my coworker told me- that she noticed a difference in the cooking not too long ago when she came here. Sadly, it shows. Our escargots were extremely salty. My husband's pork chop was salty. His vegetables also salty. At that point, I held out hope that my Chilean sea bass might at least redeem the evening. No such luck. Salty again. Even the mushroom risotto- which actually had delicious flavor, was overpowered by too much salt. By then, after one appetizer and two entrées all salty, we figured dessert would at least save the night. Nope. I ordered profiteroles with chocolate gelato instead of vanilla and was truly looking forward to them. Except, the profiteroles were rock hard. The chocolate drizzle tasted like Hershey's syrup, making the dessert taste cheap for a restaurant of this type. My husband, who always goes for sorbet, ordered the mango flavor- but to me it tasted like an unripe mango blended with sugar just to make it palatable.. If you're from the Caribbean or know a true mango taste, you know exactly what I mean. And don't even get me started on the cocktails- they tasted more like juice than actual drinks. At the end of the night, we realized we weren't imagining things. A $245 dinner with weak cocktails, overly salty food and disappointing desserts was no balance for a restaurant with such a long-standing history. For that reason... we out.

I got the chicken fajitas and my dad got the beef stew. Both were generous portions -- the chicken and veggies were perfectly cooked and I have 1-2 meals worth of leftovers. The homemade tortillas were the best I've ever had. The hot sauce was fantastic too (unsure if made in house or not). Wanted to note that they now serve alcohol, as another reviewer mentioned they didn't. They have a full dining room plus a bar area, and both are equally nice. We went on a weekday evening and the place was fairly empty. Please do yourself a favor and check them out!

Highlight of this restaurant: amazing food but do not serve alcohol…read more Read on for our full experience - This restaurant used to be Maura's Kitchen, on Alden Place. It's a bit off the main street traffic and not advertised as they should. We were in the mood to try something new so decided to give this place a shot on a Friday night. The place was completely empty and I was a bit worried that this is not going to be a good meal. Once seated, the waiter brought a basket of tortillas chips and salsa to the table. My kids immediately attacked it. The salsa was not spicy so they really enjoyed it. A quick look at the menu we realized they don't serve alcohol, a bit disappointed but not a deal breaker. They did have many Virgin drinks such as sangria, Pina colada, Margarita, etc. I found their menu to be a bit all over the place. They have a Spanish section but also have burgers and sandwiches as well as Italian pasta dishes. Their appetizer also contains taco bowls and burritos which should be in main dish section?! The soup are also quite expensive, but maybe because they are big portions? The menu also don't give much description for the Spanish food (I'm no expert), so we made our orders and hoped for the best. The kids wanted milkshakes and I asked the waiter to split 1 order into 2 cups so they can share it. He was super nice to do so without charging extra. As the dishes come out, our worries were put to ease. Everything was absolutely delicious. Hubby had the shrimp sauteed (Camarones Saltados), big portions with a side of rice and salad. It was light and well seasoned, the rice were also very flavorful. I had the Mexican stew, which was tender pork in tomato based soup with fresh onions, lettuce and avocado on top. Comes with tortillas chips, green dipping sauce (guacamole-like, but not as thick), and a very spicy hot sauce (which I ended up adding to the soup as it was absolutely yum), and a side of rice. My daughter ordered the Garlic shrimp - she opt for mashed potatoes on the side. I was surprised to find the garlic shrimp was in a creamy sauce, but it was so good! I want to take that sauce home and add rice or pasta to it!! You can tell that the mashed potatoes were made from real potatoes. It has nice chunks to it and the color is slightly yellow. So good! My son had the calamari and it was served on a bed salad with lettuce, tomato, radish, and banana peppers. The creamy dipping sauce was so good too. We really wanted dessert but was so full from dinner that we'll have to plan better next time. All in all, great place with top notch food. I would give the food 5 but knocked 1 down due to no alcohol. We will definitely come back to try more dishes!!

Our server, whos name i didnt catch, was always available for refills, very nice man, but the other staff walking by would ask if we were good, so kudos!

We came here on a whim after spending the day in the area and we are already talking about coming back to the area, just to eat here. The front of the restaurant could not be prettier, with beautiful decor and torches just beckoning you in. We were immediately greeted by the friendliest hostess and seated in one of their beautiful dining rooms. Their cocktail menu is not something to pass on! I saw that they had an espresso martini on the menu and I asked if they could make it a decaf (if not I gave our server a plan b cocktail). Not only did they deliver (a delicious) decaf espresso martini but they were so enthusiastic about all of their coffee choices! My husband had the Gucci 52 (I of course had a couple of sips) and it was superb. Better than many of the cocktails I have had in several NYC Greek restaurants and so much more creative! Now for the food! We shared the sweet potato hummus, duck kokkinisto and grape leaves stuffed with tuna. I have never seen any of those items on any Greek menu before and duck is one of my favorites! They were all 10/10. The flavors could not be beat and the portions and presentation were all so generous and thoughtful. After experiencing their cocktails and dinner we knew we couldn't skimp on dessert. We shared the custard stuffed phyllo and OH MY GOSH. If you're too full for dessert, make room! Lastly but certainly not least, the servers deserve their own paragraph. We were simply blown away by the professionalism, kindness and passion from our server and other server's we interacted with. We felt so taken care of. We were given our bag of leftovers at the very end of our meal, which is such a nice touch. This level of service is not something you see everyday. Professional but warm, not stuck up, efficient but does not make you feel rushed. This area is worth visiting if only to come here! Thank you for making our experience so memorable.
