What People Are Saying About Charlie's By The Sea
The Editor
Amy Eddo

In Short – So the motto goes at this waterfront eatery, "Any closer and you'd be wet!" For breathtaking sunsets or a relaxing champagne brunch, Charlie's is the place to soak up southern California's pristine beach views. Diners enjoy classic surf and turf selections and the ever-changing "chef's nightly whim" special. The pan roasted sea bass with truffled parmesan pasta pairs nicely with a wide selection of wines by bottle or glass. –

Margarine with a view
by leucadiajim
This place has a wonderful ocean view, but if you're coming for a good meal, forget it. I could write about the overcooked fish, I could write about the tasteless lobster bisque, but I think potential diners should be alerted that margarine is served with the bread here. With their prices they could afford to serve real butter. Need I say more?
- Pros: ocean view
- Cons: overcooked fish, inattentive staff
