The Charles

We came in here for a late weekday lunch. It was the best meal in Wethersfield. We had a hard time deciding what to order off the menu as everything looks so appetizing and the dishes on other people's tables all look delicious too. We ended up ordering the Fish 'n Chips and the Butternut squash orecchiette pasta dish. Portions sizes were large and the food was delicious. The breaded fish was so light and flakey. It was tender and falling apart. It was just perfect and not overcooked. Next time, I will have to remember to order the truffle fries to accompany it. The orecchiette pasta was very filling and my friend was very happy with it. Service was great too. Our waiter checked in on us often and seemed happy to be working there.

My husband and I are from out of town and we’re visiting for a business trip. I found The Charles on instagram and very delighted by our dinner here. We started with the beet salad and side of local mushrooms with bread for our appetizers. My husband had the Berkshire Pork Chop which was delicious and perfectly cooked. The side of potatoes and Brussels sprouts were very tasty as well. I had the Chicken & Dumplings (gnocchi) which was delicious. I LOVED the lemon butter mustard sauce! The historic home, now a restaurant, has a beautiful old New England charm and it was beautifully decorated for Christmas.

Had a great time at The Charles with my coworkers! The vibe was warm and welcoming, and everything—from the food to the service—was spot on. We tried a mix of dishes and honestly, not a single bite disappointed. The staff was super friendly and made us feel right at home. Definitely a place I’d go back to, whether it’s for a chill dinner or something a little more celebratory.

This must be one of the most frustrating dining experiences I have ever had. A 5-star restaurant limited to 2. For starters, I had to park a 4 minute walk away, on a wet, rainy night. The parking is very limited. We were greeted and sat immediately, for our reservation. The ambiance is lovely. Charming country, fireplace. Nice decorative appointments throughout. Then came the noise. The most ear piercing, unbearable noise. A jubilant party of six in the corner. I couldn’t hear anything. At all. It quieted a little after they left but it remained unpleasant. Even with the acoustic ceiling tiles. The lower front right room is like an echo chamber. We were asked if what kind of water we wanted, said tap, then said we needed a minute to figure out drinks. That turned into five, maybe mo

The service that we received from Logan was amazing and over the top. I've never had a waiter cater to us so much. He was amazing. He gave suggestions that were great he made sure that we didn't need anything he was attentive. It was our anniversary and I believe it was the owner for a manager that sat down and she was amazing as well she was very pleasant and even give us a card because we were celebrating our anniversary. They have an outdoor area where you can sit. They have a bar. They have downstairs area where you can sit and when it gets busy you can go upstairs. I wish I could really go every week because it was that great. It's very difficult for my husband to like a place and he had no complaints here.
