The Charlotte Cafe is a well respected restaurant in our city and has a lot of loyal patrons. This restaurant is particularly liked by the senior crowd, for whatever reason. Service is spot on. Menu offerings are varied. They have daily specials and today it took all that I had to not get their chicken and dumplings that were on special. Instead, I had grilled chicken with sides of baked apples and spinach. Unfortunately, I found the quality of the food to be lacking. My chicken breast was flat and void of taste. I tried to pepper it up with Tobasco. The spinach was mushy. The baked apples appealed to my sweet tooth. Overall, the meal was disappointing. There is a certain charm to the restaurant, but without food that wakes up my taste buds, I will leave the charm for others to enjoy. I was part of a large group that lunched there today and I will say that the one server taking care of our table did a good job of servicing our table. On a side note, the sanitary score is 90.5, and left me wondering if the management is on top of its game. I hate the expression "it is what it is", but in this case, it is what it is.
