We went on a Friday night around 8 and were seated right away by a friendly host. The young lady serving water was prompt, but never came back to us again, she stood in the center of the main floor twirling a towel for a good long time, just looking around aimlessly. Our server was quick with our drink order, great beer menu, no wine menu but it is a tavern so it was fine. We both ordered prime rib 12 oz for $36, which I assume is around a fair price. Salad was a nice spring mix with tomatoes, cucumber and carrots. Our main course came quickly, came with a house made horseradish sauce which I forgot to remover from mine, but it turned out to be alright. Rice was dry and bland. Veggies were good. Mashed potatoes were good and I should have gotten them. Prime rib was grilled, very fatty and flavorless. Wanted medium and it was on the well side with only the very center being pink as I like it. I could not eat it. I ordered a ham and cheese on sourdough which was awesome! We weren't charged for one of the prime ribs, which I didn't expect as we did take it home for our dog. We would go back but would maybe choose sandwich's over beef. One thing I would like owners to know though. One of the servers was sweeping the floor and cleaning tables with spray cleaner right around our table while we were eating. I doubt many diners enjoyed this.

I have known the Maloney family for over 40 years and I the Charlton Tavern is one of my favorite places to go. Between the food, hospitality and the welcome I receive when I visit makes feel so good. I would recommend everyone to visit their establishment!! Gene Gass

Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. The place was busy but not packed. We were sat at a high top near the bar and the waitress came over immediately to get our drink order. They have a great selection of craft beer, so we opted for two pints of craft beer. We also ordered medium wings as an appetizer and they were delicious - perfect amount of crisp, well sauced and good size too. For entrees, I ordered the turkey sandwich and my boyfriend ordered the roast beef. Both were really good - stuffed with meat and the bread well toasted. The fries were mediocre in my opinion. Overall, great spot. Will definitely return for dinner soon!

This is such a beautiful restaurant! Every time we visit it is just so lovely with beautiful seasonal decor, delicious food and excellent wait service. The perfect place to relax and unwind. Last night there were 6 of us....A variety of shrimp, pastas, salmon, steaks...each dish was a delight. And every time we are there you cannot help but notice the owners out amongst the table greeting diners and taking care of them. So nice!! We highly recommend the very special Charlton Tavern. It is wonderful.​

Stepping in from a wet cold night into this cozy warm atmosphere of the revolutionary era tavern- we were embraced by the hospitality and the beautiful festive Easter decor and a lively din that was friendly and comforting. It was easy to have a conversation and the ambience was just properly lighted and was fitted for families of eight or for date night cozy table for two. The Irish tradition is weaved beautifully throughout from flags of Dublin on the ceiling and shamrock lightbulbs and in the ladies room wallpaper with Celtic themes. There a proper Irish drafts including Guinness and Harp which won me over immediately. In addition there are craft beers and signature cocktails. Service was efficient and friendly and informative. There were specials and portions were plentiful. Everything was made fresh and served hot I enjoyed a homemade NE clam chowder where the potatoes were perfectly done and serve piping hot. There's a basket of fresh artisan bread although it's not housemaid it was perfect complement and not to be missed. Order Any of the salads with a warm bacon dressing as you rarely see this anymore and it was delicious. The shrimp scampi Florentine was plentiful and beautifully presented with a mixture of vegetables shrimp sun-dried tomatoes and pasta. They had honey Sriracha firecracker cauliflower which was very crisp and well battered and very tasty as an appetizer as well. My companion had the wings which was excellent it was crispy and the sauce was perfectly balanced served with celery and blue cheese. I would also recommend the blue crabcakes which were delightfully presented to good size cakes as an appetizer with lemon and lettuce and a remoulade underneath they were very tasty and thick and consistent.
