Charlton Tavern - Ballston Lake

Terrible service, Bland and overpriced food. Beautiful atmosphere is wasted by bad service. It won't come back.

Our party of 14 walked in, at 2pm on a Sunday, without notice. To our delight the staff was able to accommodate us. We sat in the large front/main dining room. The atmosphere was a lovely and comfortable rustic with a small bar tucked in one corner. I didn 't get a close look at the bar, I did notice the only a few TVs only in that area, which I appreciated. It was covered floor to ceiling with wood, exposed beams on the ceiling, tavern decor with an Irish vibe adorned the walls and ceiling. The dining room was warmly lit with votive candles on the tables, I 'd put volume at a pleasant conversation level . I enjoyed a draft Octoberfest brew and a excellent Ruben sandwich with onion rings. Our waitress was attentive, the food came out hot and in proper order, drink refills, promptly offered. The check had 20% gratuity added, which we were fine with, considering the the size of our party and the service we received. Overall we had a very enjoyable experience, I would recommend. On the way home my wife suggested it 'd be nice to visit during a snowfall.

We came for the first time with some family at their invitation. What a lovely place! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was comfortable. I'm looking forward to my next visit. Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
