The staff at Charlie's greet you like an old friend, look after you without interrupting your meal or conversations, and just generally go about making sure that the quality of the experience matches the quality of the food. They're all so nice. You're not just guaranteed good food here, but a good overall experience. Would give this place 10 stars out of 5 if it were possible.
If you have trouble finding the address (I think it's a maps issue on uber), the main entrance is on 33 Albemarle Street (It's listed correctly on their google business page). Not the rear, Entrance which is on Dover Street.
I made the booking on the Opentable app one week before.
We pulled up outside the hotel/Restaurant. The doorman warmly greeted us with a smile, opened the door and guided us in.
Upon entering, the cloakroom lady took our jackets. The lovely front of house lady congratulated us on our anniversary and checked us in.
Charlie's is a 5-star establishment with an elegantly styled interior. It emits the vibe of a British private members club.
Most of the clientele was affluent men in their 50s with their wives. In a quiet setting with minimal hubbub, I enjoyed the peace. I applaud the menu as it's simple and easy to put together your courses.
The service is of a high standard, no need to go into details, it's a 5-star establishment in Mayfair.
The experience was pleasant. I rate the dinner 7 out of 10. The duck in the duck salad was a little chewy/dry. I do not know if it is supposed to be like that. However, it was still delicious, especially with the roasted thin sliced almonds that were still warm.
I didn't like the mashed potato because it looked too shiny and it felt a little sticky, not creamy smooth as I like it.
I was not happy because I wanted to have the sliced roast almonds on my steak, they could not fulfil my request. They did apologise.
On the other hand, The steak was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious with the roasted root vegetables. The cocktails are fantastic.
To my surprise, in the end, They brought a complimentary dessert with a Happy Anniversary sign written on a chocolate square with fresh berries and chocolate mouse and biscuit base.
The price is ever so slightly above average. 2-course meal for 2 people with 2 cocktails cost £160.00.
To conclude we had a memorable experience and took some lovely photos.
The restaurant is really beautifully designed and food was served on their elegantly designed dishes.
They have a good wine list but unfortunately many of them are out of stock due to logistical issue between Britain and continental Europe.
The service is good as one would expect but definitely not pretentious. It goes without saying that the food is good.
Food 9/10, ambience 9/10, service 8/10, value for money 8/10.
A restaurant to come back again, highly recommend.
We were celebrating my 40th birthday, and the staff really made it special.
I had the venison for my main, it was amazing, and the baked alaska was to die for.
Keep up the good work
It is now known as Charlie's. Our latest visit was the best lunchtime meal we have had here. Excellent service, knowledgeable staff, a good menu and the food excellent, it's alway been pretty good but it has certainly stepped up a gear. It also seemed busier than usual ( maybe because of the improvements) I would therefore recommend booking. Well done Charlie's.
