We had dinner here tonight and the food, service staff, atmosphere and Syboll (the owner) were amazing! There were so many wonderful personal touches throughout our dining experience, the food was incredible (one of the best meals that I’ve had in a long time), the sunset was picturesque, our server Andrew was so attentive and gracious…. I highly and happily recommend!!!!!

Myself and my daughter had a fantastic time here. 42 years and I have never ate at the Charlesworth Hotel & Restaurant. The experience was one of a kind. Living only 10 minutes away at that. From the time of being greated by Syboll, one of the owners until the moment we left was perfect! I highly recommend that if you have the extra money go there and make some life memories. You will not regret it.

We ate here on Easter Sunday and we were so glad we decided to make reservations here. Syboll, the owner made us feel so welcome. The food was phenomenal, and the atmosphere was perfect! We had such a great time that I recommended my boss come here and he is excited to try it. We will definitely stay over next time and can't wait to go back! Highly recommend checking them out. You won't be disappointed!

We had a large group and we ate at the restaurant. Most of us were from out of state. We were grateful to have met the chef to thank him personally. Everything was good. The vibe, the food, atmosphere and service. I had the crabcakes. Very good.

Stayed here last labor day weekend for my birthday and it was a great experience. We had the room with its own bathroom and having a corner room gave us amazing views of the water and the sunset. When I first glanced at the reviews and I saw someone say it was the best restaurant in South Jersey I laughed. I was expecting a casual beach vibe but boy were we wrong. this is fine dining and everything we ordered was phenomenal. my friend ordered the tomato side and I never knew tomato could taste so good. This place is truly a gem. This year I will be staying in an airbnb around the corner but very much looking forward to eating here again for my birthday dinner. this place is definitely worth it. best restaurant in South Jersey? quite possiblyFood & drinks: be advised it is BYOB so buy your bottle of wine before coming into townNoteworthy details: a sunset view to die for

Our First experience at the Charlesworth Hotel-Restaurant was one I’ll never forgot . I’ll start with the service the owner is very generous attentive and friendly to all his customers , the ambience was warm and comfortable .Now the food the owner /waiter recommended a number of dishes to try he walks we a little bit of everything for us to try lobster Mac and cheese , stuffed shrimp , and stuffed crab shrimp .For our Entree Naji got the pork chop with caramelized apples and onions served with spinach and mash potatoes . Annnnd I Got the Pasta Primavera with roasted peppers and onions spinach and cheese.My stomach was about to explode ? but wait there’s more ! Dessert .. another asortment of options chocolate mousse , cheesecake with cherries that have been imported from Paris etc but there was one that stood out and it was a key lime pie ? We our both stuffed until tomorrow night lol but I highly recommend this restaurant 5 stars ⭐️
Best helpful hint is remember this is BYOB. We celebrated my Birthday at Charlesworth Restaurant at the end of summer. As we walked around to the Bayside entrance the sun was setting. The view is stunning. Inside, the Charlesworth is a step back in time with live piano music lightly filling the background. Our party of seven shared appetizers of Oysters Rockafeller, Lobster Mac & Cheese, Tuna Tartare and a Bisque Soup. I highly recommend the Tartare. I had the NY Strip which was cooked to perfection. It was heated throughout while still remaining a juicy medium rare. Everyone loved their entree's as well. We had no room for dessert but that didn't deter us. My husband loves Creme Brule which he insisted I taste as he described it as one of the best he had. For seven people, because there were no alcohol charges, the price seemed reasonable comparing to places with similar menus. This is a special place to visit. The staff are great, the owner is welcoming and the piano player just takes it to another level.

One of thr BEST MEALS WE HAVE EVER HAD.. Plus the MOST COMFORTABLE AND FUN ATMOSPHERE.If you havent been here since Syboll ( I LOVED HIM), his Sister and his Friend from College that is the Chef have owned the restautant ..You need to make a Reservation ASAP!It is the Charlesworth Restaurant and Hotel in Fortescue, NJMy Husband and I along with My Brother-in-law and Sister-in-law drove an hour on Saturday in pouring rain for our 5:30 reservation.We use to go here years ago 30-40 yrs ago for “All You Can Eat Crabs.”There is No Liquor License BUT we did bring our own Wines!From the appetizers which included Deep Fried Oysters, Ahi Tuna Tartare,Stuffed Shrimp to the Entrees.. Chilean SeanBass ,Chicken Parm and Penne Pasta, Linguine with Scallops in Creamy Lemon Sauce and The Moat Delicious Pork Chop with Roasted Apples and Bacon. Lots of Sides also Delicious and Dessert did not Disappoint..Creme Brulee, Bread Pudding,Key Apple Crumb Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream and Cherry Cheesecake..We had a Blast talking and Laughing with Syboll..He brings around Bowls of Jewelry that belonged to his Mom and invites everyone to take something that catches your eye in honor of his Mom.. So sweet!Let me also say that our Server a young man named Andrew was Pure Perfection.. He was Gorgeous and So Informed about the Food and So Attentive… We never had to ask for anything and we had everything we needed before we knew we were going to need it!The only thing we wish we could change is the fact that it is an hour away..So next time we may Reserve one of their 5 Rooms they have available at their Hotel!Cannot wait to go back..It is worth the Ride there and Back .. If You are Lucky enough to get a Reservation..It was packed that night too even with the Heavy Downpour all night long!Hope you Enjoy!Buon Appetito!Louie and Donna Marie Lupi andRick and Monica Lupi??❤️?
