Our food was a thousand times more tasty and worth the money at Beached Whale than here. I'd rather had $15 shrimp tacos in Times Square than a $32 Filet Mignon. We almost didnt go here on our last night, but decided we needed a change of pace from the Time Square food but it wasn't worth the money at... More

The salad bar is nice, but the dinner entree's were disappointing in our opinion. Five scallops with a little bowl of rice pilaf that tasted like it came out of a box. Sorry, Charley, i don't think we'll be back.

Get a table by the window and it is like eating on a bird sanctuary. Great Egrets and other herons feeding right by the window on the waterway. Great seafood and salad bar with good service. Not cheap, but priced similar to all the other good places for seafood in the area.

Being non-seafood eaters, my husband and I really struggle with meals when we stay in FMB. We were so happy to stumble upon Charley's! I always look forward to nights we plan to dine there. We always sit in the back room overlooking the channel. Our servers are always super attentive and most importantly our steaks are always flavorful and... More

Enjoyed family dinner starting with a wide and varied salad bar and continued with flavorful steaks and fresh fish. Service was good so we were able to make it back across the street in time for a sensational sunset.

The salad bar was good but not anything special. Fresh ingredients, but don't be misled by he number of items advertised. 12 of the items were dressings. We had ribs with tangy sauce, not sweet or smoky. The scallops and shrimp were good, but stay away from the lemonade. It smelled like horse manure. Anyhow, the service was great. The... More

The best part of this place was sitting by the window and watching the birds fish for their dinner. They did have a great salad bar but it wasn't $15 great.

The salad bar is the best we have ever encountered, anywhere in the world actually. The steaks are always perfectly cooked, and the service is quick and efficient. Consistently excellent. HAve been returning for over 10 years.
