Ate dinner here on a Tuesday night, it was fairly crowded so we sat at a high top table. There was a live guitarist who had a lovely voice and played a lot of popular songs. It was a bit loud with people talking, especially the raucous group next to us. Service was slow, but our waitress Bianca was really sweet. I had the lobster Mac and cheese and couldn't finish it, it was so good and very filling! My husband had the chicken marsala and he said it was great. It was my birthday,...read full review
Stopped in to make a reservation the night before we wanted to be there and it was packed both nights. The night I made the reservation there was a gentleman in front of me who placed a to go order with the host. Between this and the other takes the host was doing (she wasn’t sitting around), it took me about fifteen minutes for her to assist me. She was extremely kind and pleasant.
When we showed up for our reservation the second night, it was considerably more chaotic...read full review

Saturday night, first weekend of October. We sat at the bar because we didn’t want to wait for a table and we were serviced right away. Food was amazing. We had drinks, dinner, and dessert, and I have no complaints about any of them. Great place to go when staying in lutsen!

Charlie’s Alpine Bistro offers a nice space with a live musician and a view. The food is good, with highlights such as scotch eggs, burrata crostini, French onion soup, and scrambled eggs that many diners praise. Portions can be small and some menu items may be unavailable when the delivery truck arrives late. Prices are good, though some guests note that the restaurant is cash only and that a $15 cocktail was charged after the bill was paid. Service varies: some servers are attentive and responsive, while others are slow or lack interaction. The kitchen staff sometimes help clear tables, and a team effort is seen on busy nights. Overall, the atmosphere is nice and the building feels brand new. Customers appreciate the food but a few report disappointment with service, delays, and billing errors, which may discourage repeat visits.
