Both of us enjoyed the Gorgonzola oysters as an appetizers. The oysters were cooked to a nice firmness and the cheese wan't too overpowering so you could still taste them. Toss in bacon - what else could you have asked for. Charlie's Grouper, cooked to perfection, so flaky and tasteful, again the sauce didn't overpower and take away from the... More

I am literally shocked at an email response I got from Yves Menard, owner of Charlies!!! I wrote Yves to express my disappointment in a recent visit. His response? "Hey Seriously. Brett talked with you the night you were here. Now what do you want." As a result, we won't ever be back. The food was terrible, and their customer... More

A very nice place to go. The was the first time we have went for lunch, and it was wonderful. Dinner is always good, and was just as happy with lunch. The food, staff, and dinks are all great. Sitting in the bar section is always a lot of fun. Nice place for a group or just two.

Restaurant was decent. Nothing with a "wow" factor, but good for at least one visit. Wait staff was great!! Trying Omaha steak was on my list of things to do while in NE, and now I can mark it off my list.

real interesting place. at one time had pretty good sushi, another time a successful spinoff of a classic Omaha steakhouse. No, not a specific category restaurant. Wide variety of red meat, and seafood. Several years ago their cuisine was very well prepared and presented, and they had a very nice wine list. Times being what they are, some of that... More

Decided to give Charlie's another try after a long absence, due to the emergance a few new seafood restaurants in the area. This visit will be my last. The food (fish) was very bland, the portions were small based on the price. The only thing that was up to par was the service. If you are looking for good seafood... More

It had been awhile since we had been to Charlies but we had a nice experience. We started off in the bar having a couple of drinks then asked to be seated, there was no wait as it was about 9:00 pm. Food was good, and fast. The waitress was attentive and friendly and told us about the larger patio... More

Went to one of our old favorites the other night and thank you, our favorite bartender was still working. Used to hit Charlie's almost weekly, but they have tried some different things lately, including a "destined to fail" nightclub recently! THANK THE LORD ABOVE THE NIGHTCLUB IS GONE! We love the bartenders Trev and Maria. The only two bartenders left... More

Charlie's on the Lake is a great place to dine for a special occassion, or just a casual dinner. The food is fabulous, with many options to choose from. The staff is friendly and attentive. The atmosphere and decor lend to a formal yet comfortable experience.
