PJ Charlton Reviews
We just happened to stop in here on a whim. It looked inviting so we grabbed an early dinner. It was a wonderful experience. My dad was a New York Italian and everything here reminded me so much of him. I wish he could have been here. The food was excellent and the staff was wonderful. If we ever make it back to NYC this place will be on the top of the list for a return visit.
P.J. Charlton is a neighborhood gem that is overlooked because it's one block west of Hudson St. across from the UPS garage. The restaurant has been there for 37 years and is a survivor. The food is well prepared and well priced. Some of the wines are marked up by as much as 6 times retail, but there are some gems at only 3 times retail -- you need to be selective. Overall, it's a restaurant worth a try.
I was initially dissuaded by the yelp rating but it was fairly close to my hotel and I thought I'd give it a shot. Warm greeting by both the bartender and waitress, in a basically empty restaurant. Very courteous and quick service, and the meal was very good.
