This is upscale pub food. A bit loud and seating a bit cramped but the atmosphere is good, service attentive and quality of food very good. The hit for us was the actually quality of cuts of meat, fish, etc. One of us had a hand formed hamburger that was excellent. The fries also seem to be hand-cut with really lovely flavour and not too greasy. I wanted them cooked a bit more, but one of my dinner companion argued that they were perfect. Among the best fries in the city we would hazard. The salmon burger was not some pressed mess of fish, but a nice, if a tad bland piece of fish accompanied by a good but not great aioli. The kitchen could go a bit heavier on the spice. The last dish was a very nice pasta dish with a lovely combination of flavours and fresh, fresh ingrediants. We are, in fact, going back tonight.

The Charlatan definitely lives up to its name meaning trickster. It looks nice, but the service is slow, rude, and inattentive. The food leaves something to be desired, and its definitely not living up to its price. There are a thousand other restaurants i would rather dine out to. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone, the attitude of the staff completely ruined my experience.
