It was my second time coming here. My wife has anaphylactic food allergies and that's the first thing our server asked. We felt safe, great ambiance, amazing food and excellent server. Highly recommend Charlie was a sinner for anyone with allergies or a vegan preference!

We haven't been to Charlie was a sinner for awhile, but once again it did not disappoint! The food is outstanding and the wait staff was fantastic. Our server took some time to chat with us and get the feel for what we were looking for this evening. We definitely won't let too much time go by before we go back!

We ordered the oyster mushroom calamari, the meatballs, the bao buns, and the potato croquettes. We also indulged in dessert. We ordered the chocolate pot de creme and the creme brulee. Everything was wonderful and we left completely satisfied. If we had room, we would have ordered more!
