| - So, I'll start with the fact that I really, really wanted to like Charley's since it's only a mile from our house. We'd tried it when we first moved to Cotswold four years ago and were very disappointed in the food so never went back. Needless to say, we were very much looking forward to the the grand (re)opening, and now that I'm over the shock, here's an overview of the experience:
The good - our server was quite good; attentive without being overbearing, recommended some dishes, refilled beverages in a timely fashion, etc. There was no wait (you'll see why) and parking wasn't an issue.
The bad - our food was horrible, and the best way to describe why is the over abundance of SAUCE on everything. My boyfriend got a margarita pizza and I swear that when they brought it out all you saw was the pizza sauce and a few pieces of fresh mozzarella ovals. When I tried the sauce it was quite close to the taste of ketchup. I ordered the three cheese tortellini and the few vegetables and pieces of pasta were effectively drowning in sauce to the point that I had to dab each piece on a side plate to remove some sauce before eating it. We started our meal with a chicken quesadilla that was very bland, but ended up being the best part of the meal.
Not sure if the bar has anything better to offer in terms of adult beverages, but honestly, we won't be back to try it out.
