Oooh la-la!
This was one of the best meals I've ever eaten! Everything was cooked to perfection, and the wait staff was attentive without hovering. They somehow just *knew* when to be there.
There's not a lot of seating, but the overall atmosphere is cozy, sophisticated, and romantic. This would make a great special occasion location.
I discovered Charles' in the book "Hidden Washington", which says that the building that houses the restaurant was once owned by Al Capone... I don't know if there's any truth to that rumour, but it does add to the charm of the place!
