Highly disappointed with the overall experience. This is merely another attempt for the Baltimore ""elite? to attempt to fit in. If you want high class dining experience please do not go to the Charleston. While you will find the menu, both wine and food, to be exceptional your overall experience is stifled by the cattle like herding of the staff. First, they shuffle you in to the bar for an over priced cocktail. This move is expected however very low rent in my opinion. The next move is to rush you through the menu followed up by slamming each course down one after another barely giving you time to enjoy your wine, which is marked up the 400% instead of the standard 200% - 300%. Overall I felt as if we were being pushed through our evening instead of enjoying each course accompanied by a little conversation. If I want a fast food experience I will go to my favorite burger joint and not the Charleston..
Pros: Food and wine
Cons: High Speed Dining and lack of ambiance
