    Charm Eatery is a hidden gem and is worthwhile venturing off the noisy and frenetic activity of Chapel St. The service was friendly and warm. The food was fantastic and affordable. The restaurant is spacious and yet still provides patrons with a sense of intimacy at their table or booth. I highly recommend paying a visit to Charm Eatery.
