The portion sizes even under meals will not fill you up; mind you they do warn you about the portion sizes so that's preference and this place is a great option for vegan peeps (who are willing to pay $$$). The appetizers were good, though. And the dessert we tried was a take on NY cheesecake but cashew-based. That was delicious. I would come for the atmosphere alone, honestly. This place would be perfect after a meal or as a meal precursor to just enjoy the drinks and to order a few appetizers at the bar.

Take everything you thought a vegan restaurant was and erase it from your mind. Charlie was a sinner is sexy and classy with an intellectual vibe. The low lighting and drapery provide a dark ambiance for its discerning diners. Picture a restaurant in the middle of a multimedia art exhibition, and you'd come close to what it's like inside. The food? Highest quality vegan food I've had at a restaurant. The dishes are interesting and creative. The service? Exceptional. I highly recommend the mocktails as well. Delicious. Make your reservations early because it's a long wait. If you have the opportunity to dine there, you'll see why.

I disagree - Charlie is a Saint! Great experience last night at this spot. The place appealed to me for their vegetarian friendly options, and has been on my radar for some time. It's located right where all the other action is east of Broad Street. Be sure to plan for parking, and call ahead for reservations if you remember. I parked a few blocks south and walked my way up. We were only a party of two, but still ended up waiting a good 20 minutes at the bar before having our table set up. At the bar, we were able to get the attention of a bartender, and he personally stepped out to hand over a bar menu as well as take our order - super awesome! You can tell this is a fan favorite, there were lines for a table, at the bar, and even to get service. The last detail is what dings this place from being a full 5 star experience for me. It took more than 20 minutes after being seated (so around 40 minutes since entering the place) before we were presented with menus - and that's only because we had to inquire to have menus brought to us to begin with! That aside, it was busy, and many celebrations were happening so it's still worth the experience, just be vigilant in case the service overlooks you. Once we had the food options available, we ordered a few of the plates - the avocado toast, Korean tofu, cauliflower steak, and potato gnocchi. Overall the food was really tasty! We both agreed the avocado toast and the Korean tofu were our favorites. There was a depth of flavor with good use of the ingredients to really let the food shine. There was also this side of rice on the cauliflower dish that stole the show. It was really well developed, with surprise ingredients like raisins - I'm hoping it makes it's way as a main item. If the gnocchi was called something else, our opinions of it would be different. It was more fried than doughy, so it felt like we were eating some expensive french fries. The plates, tables, and portions are small - but shareable for two. Overall, I liked the experience, and the story behind the name still eludes me but the intrigue is there. Looking to find my way back here another time to crack that case!

Top 3 cocktails in the city- the type of place you sit down, ask the bartender "What's good" and they'll give answer WITHOUT judging you. Every cocktail here has been fantastic, and the price difference compared to a poor quality cocktail at another establishment is only a dollar or two. Always worth it. The interior can only be defined as *Luxurious* with big velvet couches lit by candlelight.

The food was amazing and the place was very cute! I had the sliders, cauliflower steak 🥩, and the latte which was so good! Loved it! I will be coming back to this place for sure!! 😎
