88 Charles Street Restaurant

I have visited 88 a couple times and have had an amazing experience every time. They go above and beyond to ensure their customers are satisfied. Last night I was served by Matt who was great. I ordered the Tomahawk Steak which was prepped by Matt in front of the table and was outstanding. The bartender Liz was a natural behind the bar making some fresh cocktails that tasted amazing. Loved her vibe and knowledge of drinks. 10/10 would recommend this place.

Had the best time at 88 Charles! From the drinks to dessert, everything was superb. We made reservations at 8 and it took time for us to be seated HOWEVER they made it work and were able to create a table for us which our whole group really appreciated. Most of us got espresso martinis and they were phenomenal(we will go back to try more of their cocktails). Our table had a mix of pastas, burgers, risotto special, and obviously the Tomahawk. The Tomahawk was made at the perfect temperature and it was crisp on the outside. We are all excited to come back and I absolutely recommend this place to anybody who is considering to try it! Thank you so much to the entire staff for making our experience 11/10! P.S. I hope they make the Cioppino a regular menu item because it was out of this world!!!

This restaurant was absolutely amazing. I frequent many restaurants, local and international. This restaurant has it figured out. The food was amazing. The staff was incredibly friendly and smart. The drinks were great. The decor and atmosphere was amazing. This restaurant delivered more than we anticipated.

I had a beautiful experience at this restaurant last night. EVERYTHING was excellent, the food, the servers, the drinks, and the homemade dessert, it was amazing. It was an unexpected surprise for the food to be this good. It's authentic Italian cuisine cooked with care and thoughtfulness in texture, taste and presentation. The restaurant was very clean, including the utensils, and cloth napkins. I felt at home! Its been a long time since I've had proper seafood at a restaurant - it was not overcooked! I had an eggplant stack appetizer and grilled shrimp dish in a creamy pesto sauce for my entree and it was special. I couldn't finish the entree and it was even better eating the leftovers today. I don't know who the chef is but I hope they are there the next time I go back because I WILL be back! The fried banana with silky smooth banana ice cream (with swirls of chocolate brownie chunks) was just... heaven. This restaurant was the cherry on top of a great day - Thank you 88 Charles St!

My husband and I attended the "Italy vs France" wine dinner . It was extraordinary! The settings were elegant (12 glasses at each place), the wine expert was knowledgable and fun. The food was exceptional--a perfect pairing with each tasting. Every course was as tasty as it was artfully presented. Can't wait for the next one. Thanks!

Open on Monday, unlike most other fine dining restaurants in the area. Made reservations and ended up adding one, and the staff made the adjustments and got us two tables. So of the team members started off with a few drinks. Then we sampled 3 separate appitizers to get the food rolling. The team made short work of all three. Couldn't get photos b/c I was on the wrong end if the tables. The server gave us all too many options for dinner, but we worked through it. Steaks, pasta, short ribs, and seafood dishes. Everyone commented on how good their dishes were. Several members of the clean plate club this evening. Just when we thought it was over, the dessert menu came out. Same process as the appitizers. 3 choices, and they all disappeared. The strawberry whip on the side was over the top. Got a photo as they brought them to the center of the tables.

We went to 88 Charles St Restaurant for dinner last night and it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The service was phenomenal, the specialty cocktails were delicious, and our entrees were to die for. My fiancée got the filet mignon risotto while I opted for a halibut special from that night. Both were cooked to perfection and the portions were actually quite big. Our only knock would be when we ordered a regular margarita, it was dive bar level bad - nothing but sour mix, unfortunately. That however was not the case with any of their specialty cocktails and the server took care of it right away for us. This place is definitely a bit pricey, so it’ll be more as a special occasion spot for us. Regardless, this place is worth a visit if you want delicious food.

Came here for the first time last night, celebrating a birthday and everything was excellent. For Appetizers we had the Eggplant Stack and Ahi Tuna both delicious. For Dinner we did the 48 Oz Tomahawk Steak Medium Rare and added a Lobster Tail It Comes with Mashed potatoes, Asparagus, Onion Rings and a Mushroom Garni. For dessert we did the Espresso Martins and Lava Cake With Cappuccino Ice Cream on top. Service was great and the owner was a nice guy coming and introducing himself and asking how everything was. Will definitely be back again 10/10
