Review of Charley Gs

We dont make our way down to Lafy very often so this is the first time we have been to Charley Gs. The atmosphere was great. The service was outstanding and the food was outstanding as well! I had the filet and my wife had the beef tournedo (sp?). That was basically just a filet w/ hollindaise and lump crab meat on top of it. The steaks were prepared medium rare and were very tasty. The potatos needed just a touch of salt, but in their defense, i could install a salt lick at my table and be fine.
We had a tomato bisque that was better than average. I wasnt floored by it but it was quite tasty.
For dessert, we had bread pudding with caramel and white choc. That quite possibly could have been the best desert Ive ever had. It was warm and firm and chewy. Not too sweet but sweet enough.
On top of the stellar service, they comped the dessert, just because! When asked why, the server said "because we travelled a while and dont get down here often". (I had told the host this earlier in passing conversation).
Overall, they earned a repeat visit from us. The next time we head that way, we will definately throw more business their way.

Love Social. Haven't been to Charley G's in forever. I need to go soon.

I will have to try this place out soon. I've been wanting to go, but after hearing such a review, I won't be able to resist any longer.

The menu looks good, although I'm not sure what a Bahi Mi is. If you're going to attempt a dish, at least spell it correctly. For instance, Bon Temps has tuna tartar on their menu. Fail. Not to sound like a spelling Nazi, but for instance, if someone had Crawdad Aytoofay on their menu, I might just pass.

I think that's the Old Geauxt's dish.
Nice touch on the dessert.

Charley Goodson is one of the most respected people in our business. Nothing but pure greatness over many years. Total class!!
