Such a perfect time for outside seating. The ambiance was delightful. Our steaks were cooked exactly as requested. The Peach Mozzarella Balsamic Appetizer was devine. Will definitely return.

Good was amazing, delightful. When my wife and I, we were the only individuals there besides the staff. It’s was a nice pace for appetizers, main entrees. I had the rib eye and she had the salmon both had amazing flavor and not over cooked and both melted like flavor as we ate. The dessert we had the apple crisp and it was nice and hot within and warm crispy exterior. When we arrived they read the notes we put in the system and were aware. The atmosphere was light and felt welcoming. Definitely felt under dressed with business casual. This is a place my wife and I will be coming back to as long as they are there.

My wife must eat gluten free for medical reasons. We were shown the menu and only 2 salads were marked as gluten free. I asked if that was really the case since there were steaks and salmon and the like on the menu. I was told they had checked with the chef and the menus had been misprinted and there were several other options for a gluten free meal. We ordered from those options. The food was delicious and we really wanted to like this place but 3 hours later my wife was vomiting repeatedly. For a fine dining establishment like this they need to vastly improve their gluten-free game. Every item should be clearly marked and there should be no confusion between what is gluten free and what is not.

Believe the bad reviews, this place is a joke!

Excellent dining experience overall. The food was flavorful, the atmosphere inviting, and Micaela provided exceptional service with thoughtful recommendations. Highly recommended.

Atmosphere was poor. Service was very slow, food was fair. Price was ridiculous for what we received. Golden Corral is much better at 1/10the price.

Excellent! We love coming here.

Delicious food. Great ambience. Amazing server. Micaela was not only friendly and attentive, she gave great recommendations. Highly recommended!

Awkward atmosphere. Felt unwanted or needed as a guest. Food was average at best. The economy will crush places like this unless they start taking care of all of their guests. Won’t be back.
I expected more from a place this expensive. To be fair the food was good, though overpriced for what it was. Past that, unfortunately, they just totally blew it on the details. Dirty plates, terrible beer selection (Peroni is a light-damaged skunked beer, canned Guinness for $11?, get a nice crisp pilsner in there and a strong ale to pair with seafood and steak respectively), little things like a lack of check presenters and huge buckets taking up table space to push sales of Voss and San Peligrino, perhaps most disappointing were the short pours on already grossly overpriced spirits (and no it wasn't just the big glass, I know what 1.5oz is - use a jigger), tacky music, blank walls in small overcrowded rooms. If you are planning to check this place out do it when it's nice outside and you can enjoy their beautiful patio. The baked brie was great but nothing you can't make at home for pennies on the dollar. The salmon was superb, scallops were fantastic, just an underwhelming experience overall given the price.

We have eaten at Charleston Draper and have generally had wonderful experiences...this was not one of those. First of all, OpenTable took a 4:30 reservation, but the restaurant didn't open until 5:00. Since no one from the restaurant contacted us, we waited in the parking lot for 45 minutes. A muffled apology was the only response from the staff, and no accommodation was given, Secondly, it was the main chef's birthday, apparently and he was not there. This may explain the decline in food quality. We had the artichoke soufflé, which we have had many times to our delight...not this time. It was as if cream or cheese was missing from the regular recipe. The French onion soup was only so-so, with very bland broth and limited overall flavor. Again, we had enjoyed this before, but not this time. The crab and filet were only so-so again. The meat lacked flavor, and without the accompanying juice, it would have been a disaster. The beef was poorly trimmed and had a grisel to it. The service was not up to par either... We were there for an anniversary celebration, which we had included in our reservation. However, no mention of a special occasion was ever made. While filling my water glass, the waiter poured half a pitcher of ice and water onto the table and my lap. Summary... We won't be back for a long time; it's time to find another go-to special restaurant.

What a restaurant! We felt like royalty from the moment we walked through the door to the moment we left. Thank you Marco and staff.

Great ambiance throughout the whole building, food is amazing, staff was wonderful. A bucket list item when visiting Salt Lake City if you’ve never been ! Ignore the snarky reviews on here , I would say don’t knock it until you try it!

Our server was Mark: knowledgeable, attentive and witty. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the service we received was bar none. Chef Marco's menu ALWAYS pleases the eyes and the palate. My hubby and I love The Charleston for date nights and any special occasion.
