We went in 2000. It was so memorable. What an experience. The Chef at the time was a "Iron Chef" winner. We believe Charles to be closed or moved.

The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is that we had dinner at a better place during our visit. Specials were all wonderful, and the fish was just perfect. Desserts were okay, and not the caliber of the entrees. Wine list is well thought out, and the atmosphere is just spectacular. Highly recommended.

The prices are up there but well worth it if you ask me. We had the tasting menu and each course was even better than the previous one. The Sonoma lamb was the best of all.

One of the best in S.F. Excellent service. The food was awesome. The amuse was a lobster custard served in an eggshell..It was so delicious. The best thing I've ever eaten. The prices are up there but well worth it if you ask me.

The dinner that we most recently enjoyed at Charles Nob Hill was actually unbelievable. The six-course tasting menu ($70) as presented by executive chef Melissa Perello, coupled with the sommelier recommended wine paring ($45) was exquisite; beautiful in design and execution. The combination of flavors, textures and tastes caused even the most experienced among our party of five (an actual live food critic) to stop and savor each course with seeming wide-eyed glee.

We had a wonderful eating experience at Charles. The food was excellent. We ordered the chef's special; a mix of about 8 or 9 courses including a couple of surprise courses. One of our favorite courses included some lamb which was prepared about as good as it gets. The total dinner, with two glasses of Merlot, a lemon seltzer and coffe was $200. A bit pricey, but accepted due to the professionalism of the experience. I will return again.

Located in a rather nondescript upscale apartment building, Charles of Nob Hill is an incredible restaurant. I've been there 4 times and have always enjoyed the tasting menu. The food and the service have always been top notch. The former chef (Ron Siegel) was well-known for appearing on Iron Chef (and beating Iron Chef Sakai in the lobster battle!). Melissa Perello, Siegel's sous chef has taken over the reigns without missing a beat. Melissa was named one of the top up-and-comers in the (2003?) James Beard Awards. My only minor criticism is the prices. While I expect the food prices to be high for a 4 star restaurant, the wine prices are pretty steep. If I recall correctly, the wine prices started in the $80/bottle range and quickly escalated. Nevertheless, Charles of Nob Hill remains my favorite San Francisco Restaurant.

This place is even better than its sister restaurant Aqua.
