[[HIGHLIGHT]]Sexy old Hollywood speak easy vibe is what you will feel when you step in this restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is absolutely spectacular but let me tell you this restaurant has won our hearts. Our absolute favorite to date. And let me tell you that's a big deal for me to make a claim like that! The food was absolutely spectacular. The steak.... Yes... melt in your mouth. You must order and I say MUST - The whipped potatoes. Dear lord.. I am still thinking about them! I promise you will come back here and thank me later. You're welcome :)
Had a Valentine's Day dinner at Charlie Martin's, and overall it absolutely delivered on the vibe, service, and most of the food. The French onion soup was a standout and such a smart twist -- instead of the usual blanket of Gruyère, it came with a grilled cheese on the side for dipping, which was honestly a great call. Comforting, rich, and memorable. The main event was a dry-aged bone-in ribeye, and it did not disappoint. Beautifully cooked, deeply flavorful, and exactly what you want from a steakhouse cut like that. The only knock on the food was the Brussels sprouts -- the flavor direction was solid, but they were just a bit undercooked for my preference. Not a deal-breaker, just something that kept it from being a perfect meal. Where this place really shines is hospitality. Even on a packed Valentine's Day, the staff was excellent -- friendly, engaging, and attentive without hovering. The owner even stopped by to say hello, which always goes a long way. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great atmosphere, strong execution, and clearly a team that cares.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll definitely be back -- and next time, I'm ordering that French onion soup again without hesitation.
[[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the old school supper club vibes of Charlie Martin's. Dark wood panelling covers the walls, a horseshoe bar with proper barstools with backs AND upholstery centers the space, and diners can choose a row of booths adjacent to the bar or a secluded space in the front of the restaurant with flanking banquettes[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The food is just as good. Many seafood options in addition to chops. We went full bore seafood, starting with the crab cake and half lobster from the raw bar, and splitting the Dover Sole with French green beans. The lobster came out with drawn butter, cocktail sauce, and aioli and was delicious. The crab cake was all killer, no filler, and the Dover Sole was easily enough for two and a great value. End with the chocolate budino. Cocktails, as you would expect at a supper club, were superb; high quality riffs on the classics. I strongly urge my Noble Bourbon Boozers to try a Pistol-Packin' Mama, and the Ain't Misbehavin is a stellar mashup of a Manhattan and a Daiquiri. Wine list is small but there are several excellent French whites to pair with the multitude of seafood options. Reds are predominantly American. Oddly, the only French reds are Rhones - no Bordeaux or Burgundy. Rare to see but the Rhone choices are solid. Service is friendly and while the overall vibe encourages classy attire, it doubles as a neighborhood cocktail lounge so casual is ok too. The only drawback here is that, while the restaurant itself is wheelchair accessible, because of a quirk in the building's architecture, the men's restroom is not. It is an extremely narrow room with the stall at the end - impassable if anyone else is present. That one stall is too small to fit a wheelchair, and there is barely enough room to turn around. So keep that in mind if that is a concern for you. Fortunately there are accessible bars in the area for a nightcap.
[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great happy hour with a very cool bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small space and really nice inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We sat at the bar for happy hour and enjoyed some drinks and delicious food. The bartenders were great and attentive. I enjoyed my wine with the meal - we started with oysters and shrimp cocktail. This was so tasty and fresh. We also got the fried artichoke and caviar dip off the happy hour menu. Both were tasty and filling as well. The ceasar salad was a nice portion and went well with the meal. We also got the steak frites - this is a delicious steak and was tender and juicy. The fries however were lackluster and kinda cold. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Otherwise, this place is awesome with great music, ambiance, and food at good prices during happy hour![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]
[[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is very welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We went during happy hour. This place is happening during this time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The waiter was so friendly! So accommodating with our large party during Happy Hour. We tried several dishes and everything was great. We ordered the Shrimp cocktail, fried artichokes, baked goat cheese, and the caviar onion dip with house chips, Jumbo Lump Crab cake The shrimp were huge and so fresh. Fried Artichokes were ok. Baked Goat Cheese, delicious The Caviar dip was good, the house chips were great. The Crab Cake was good. We ordered the Amish Chicken and the Dry Aged Bond in Ribeye. A side alof the whipped potatoes. The Amish chicken was delicious! It was juicy, tender, and full of favors. The Ribeye was great. It was also tender and full of flavor. The sides were ordered were the whipped potatoes and Mushrooms. The whipped potatoes were so tasty, and so creamy. It was delicious. The Mushrooms were great as well. Nice taste perfect compliment with the ribeye. This place is great. I will definitely be going back. I really wanted to try their French Onion soup, but they were out.
Found this spot through Resy as part of Amex Platinum's special promotion, otherwise I wouldn't have known it existed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cool, non descriptive exterior (totally my vibe).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]One we walked in the bar is in the center of the space, lined with tables around--gives an open airy vibe, loved it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is dark and moody, I'd say perfect for a date.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff was the friendliest I've ever seen in Chicago, from the second we walked in to the minute we paid the bill, we were made to feel special and that is a game changer for me. Let's start with the drinks off the happy hour menu, superb. You can't beat the price and taste--they truly were delicious and priced so reasonably. We had the King Arthur and My Cherie. Delicious and elevated. For an appetizer we ordered the caviar dip, but it's really an onion dip with some caviar on it. It held us over until the food came, wasn't too noteworthy and we didn't feel as though the flavors mixed all that well. We also ordered the crab cake and although crunchy and flaky to perfection a bit fishy on the initial bites, it's meant to be mixed with the greens on the plate. For our mains we ordered the vodka pasta and the chicken dish. The vodka pasta was good not the best I've had, but well flavored and filling. The pasta was cooked al dente and sauced perfectly. The flavor in the chicken was delicious and the skin crispy, however it was a bit on the drier side. Portions were ample and filling. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While we didn't stay for dessert, we did very much enjoy the ambiance and jazzy vibe the spot offered us. Like I said it gives romantic/moody upscale date night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]
[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cute ambiance, flavorful food, and strong drinks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I really enjoyed my rigatoni, however I found it weird that you can't add any protein to the dish. I was told they'd have to put the entire amish chicken on top of the pasta and charge me for the price of that entree, basically an additional $29. Crazy. Anyways, what really fell short was the service unfortunately. Upon being seated, we had to ask the hostess to grab our server because we hadn't been approached after 15 minutes of waiting. Once he came over, he was super friendly and personable, so maybe they were just short staffed. I let that part go. Once the bill came, he said he could split it amongst us 3. My bill was mostly correct, but he put all of the drinks from one lady's tab on the other lady's tab. They had already paid so once they noticed, he kind of tried to fix it but realized he couldn't reverse it in that moment so he suggested they just Zelle each other. Not considering the fact that everyone isn't paying with liquid cash and can't just Zelle someone such a significant amount. He had also charged one lady's card twice and had to reverse that as well. He just completely butchered that whole situation and got frustrated that they didn't tip what he thought they should. So frustrated that he actually came outside of the restaurant as we were chatting to give them an updated receipt further complain about the tip. He thanked me for my generous tip, but didn't hold back on his grievances with them. Completely unprofessional especially considering the fact that he couldn't even separate the checks properly.
Review of: 1. Dry-Aged Bone-in Ribeye - 22 oz, roasted garlic, marrow butter 2. Jumbo Lump Crab Cake - blue crab, preserved lemon, remoulade 3. Oysters from East & West Coasts 4. Whole Roasted Dover Sole - brown butter, capers, marcona almonds 5. Brussels Sprouts - roasted garlic, dijon sherry, vinaigrette 6. Broccolini - lemon, garlic, chili 7. Rhubarb & Blueberry Crumble To start, oysters were fresh and crab cake was a fun meaty hockey puck of tender crab. Veggies were crispy and quite flavorful. Ribeye was cooked perfect medium rare and juicy. Dover Sole was also cooked to perfect tenderness and pairs well with capers. Dessert was fresh, steaming, and comforting. Service was friendly and efficient. Good amount of seating for small to medium size groups.
Nothing was inherently wrong with the meal, though some items just weren't for me. The broccoli felt very simply prepared with little flavor, more steamed than seasoned. The rigatoni vodka leaned dry for my taste, with a sauce that lacked the creaminess I usually love in that dish. The steak frites were fine, well cooked, enjoyable, but didn't quite measure up to other versions around Chicago that have truly blown me away. Where this place really shined was with the mashed potatoes, which were phenomenal, creamy, rich, & easily the clear winner of the night. The Amish chicken was what truly sold us on the restaurant. It was hands down the best dish we had, thoughtfully prepared, flavorful, & memorable in a way that made the whole experience feel worth it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space feels warm & comfortable, perfect for an easy dinner[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], plus service was attentive, kind, & made the evening feel relaxed from start to finish. Overall, a nice experience with highlights that stood out. I'd happily return for the Amish chicken plus those mashed potatoes alone.
I was pleasantly surprised! I don't eat red meat and this is a steakhouse, but everything we got was so good! I'd definitely recommend the rigatoni alla vodka and amish chicken, and our sides of brussels sprouts, broccolini, and whipped potatoes were really good and decent portions. My friend who got the burger said it was good and I was a fan of the fries and aioli type dip they served it with. I don't recall the menu mentioning that it came with fries, so maybe she would've wanted to sub, but since we got other sides it worked out well. My cherie cocktail was a little too sweet for my liking but my friend said her espresso martini was great. Our waiter clearly had a good rapport with the bartender which was nice to see. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Our booth was cozy and we didn't do much exploring, but it was a nice (and could be romantic if wanted) place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]
We are in love with Charlie Martin's! Besides their food and drinks being delicious, everyone is so open and kind! We're greeted by name now and always feel at home. Matteo, Matt, Ellie, Collin, Mercedes and Eric make our experience so special each time. Every single dish blows us away, but their artichoke appetizer is so refreshing and the bone marrow with different onions are such a great pairing. I'm a sweet drink girl myself (My Cherie) and my husband prefers King Arthur. Ambiance is lovely - bar is center with booths to the side, and a front area to gather and sit. Can't wait to be back, even though it's only been a couple days!

We love the happy hours from 5-7. Tonight was a seafood night for us. $2 oysters, we had 12, mussels for $12, and the full price seafood tower. Good wine for $10 a glass. Great service by Yadi. The oysters are out standing and perfectly shucked. The seafood tower has more oysters, shrimp, and lobster meat. The mussels come in a great sauce and a loaf of bread to soak it up. We're in heaven! read more
My friend and I came here for happy hour. Great deals and it's awesome they do happy hour even on a Saturday! I really liked how you didn't have to be seated at the bar to do happy hour, we were able to be sat in the dining room and still enjoy happy hour. We had a few Tito's vodka martinis and they even had bleu cheese stuffed olives. The martinis were so good and only $10! The French fries were super tasty with a malt vinegar aioli dipping sauce. I was super excited to try the caviar dip. The dip was tasty but the potato chips that came with it tasted a bit overcooked. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Our server was very attentive and the atmosphere was lively but not too loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had a great time at Charlie's! read more

Was on the way to grab a bite at another place but the mysterious exterior of Charlie Martin's along with their happy hour sign caught our attention & we just had to try it -- it definitely didn't disappoint! It has a nice calm vibe, a really good place to have a conversation and a drink. The waiters were extremely friendly as well. Had the fried artichoke, shrimp cocktails, and my Cherie cocktail (highly recommend - vodka + yuzu + elderflower + hibiscus + mint) and was amazing. read more

Longtime follower, first time visitor. What a beautiful space, it's unassuming from the outside. When you walk in, you no longer feel like you are in the hustle and bustle of River North. Let's get to the real deal the food! The Veal Chop Marsala was out of this world. Delicate yet flavorful. The Dover sole was very tasty. Green beans were perfectly cooked and had a great flavor with the almonds and cheese. The whipped potatoes I literally could eat every day of my life if I could. We had the chocolate mousse for dessert and it needs to come with a warning, it's so rich, creamy yet it's light. From the moment we walked in, the staff was friendly and attentive. Our waiter was a bit timid and soft spoken so we didn't fully understand the special of the night. That will not deter us from coming back. Matthew was absolute gem! He checked in on us, made sure we enjoyed our meal and just was a great guy! Cannot wait to go back, planning on checking out the burger. This is definitely a place to check out! read more
We went out for what we had heard was a great burger. We walked in and immediately got the supper club vibe. Swanky and casual at same time. Service was prompt and friendly. We started with cocktails. I had the King Arthur which was refreshing. My Wife and Daughter got the my Cherie which they enjoyed. We started with a dozen east coast oysters that were perfect. Then roasted bone marrow on Flintstone size bones. So rich and savory. Then can our aged steak burgers and fries. We all got medium rare. Cooked to perfection. We got a side of Brussels sprouts which were dynamite. Next time I'm in Chicago coming here again for sure! read more

Came here for happy hour on a Tuesday and it was easy to get a spot to sit! The cocktails are divine, being such great quality and so tasty! I ordered the daiquiri which had a more herbal taste so I thought it was unique. We also ordered the fried artichokes and the truffle fries, both super tasty and just the right size to split with two other people. Highly recommend trying happy hour here! read more

I was so impressed with Charlie Martin's! First off, their restaurant week menu is excellent!! Their steak frites alone is $60 so it's a great value and the options for each course are "fancier" things on the menu unlike a lot of restaurants. The food was SO good. The standouts were the shrimp cocktail, oysters, steak frites, and the cheesecake. The cheesecake is the perfect fluffy texture and the flavor profile is so unique with the rosemary + blueberry sauce (will they deliver this I need another one rn). Our server was attentive and friendly, even bringing us several wine samples when overhearing us debate which bottle to order. The manager (I assume) checked in twice to see how everything was and was helping the servers to keep tables cleared, etc. Vibe was great for double date night, dim lit and romantic - classic supper club Highly recommend, I will definitely be back! read more

So next time we dine here, I'll take better pictures! The service, the food, the owner....AMAZING! Decor...classy, well done. I'm really fussy about food, cleanliness and service, this place exceeded my expectations. The pork was so good that I finished it for breakfast the next morning! read more
