We had a large group and we ate at the restaurant. Most of us were from out of state. We were grateful to have met the chef to thank him personally. Everything was good. The vibe, the food, atmosphere and service. I had the crabcakes. Very good.

Stayed here last labor day weekend for my birthday and it was a great experience. We had the room with its own bathroom and having a corner room gave us amazing views of the water and the sunset. When I first glanced at the reviews and I saw someone say it was the best restaurant in South Jersey I laughed. I was expecting a casual beach vibe but boy were we wrong. this is fine dining and everything we ordered was phenomenal. my friend ordered the tomato side and I never knew tomato could taste so good. This place is truly a gem. This year I will be staying in an airbnb around the corner but very much looking forward to eating here again for my birthday dinner. this place is definitely worth it. best restaurant in South Jersey? quite possiblyFood & drinks: be advised it is BYOB so buy your bottle of wine before coming into townNoteworthy details: a sunset view to die for

Our First experience at the Charlesworth Hotel-Restaurant was one I’ll never forgot . I’ll start with the service the owner is very generous attentive and friendly to all his customers , the ambience was warm and comfortable .Now the food the owner /waiter recommended a number of dishes to try he walks we a little bit of everything for us to try lobster Mac and cheese , stuffed shrimp , and stuffed crab shrimp .For our Entree Naji got the pork chop with caramelized apples and onions served with spinach and mash potatoes . Annnnd I Got the Pasta Primavera with roasted peppers and onions spinach and cheese.My stomach was about to explode ? but wait there’s more ! Dessert .. another asortment of options chocolate mousse , cheesecake with cherries that have been imported from Paris etc but there was one that stood out and it was a key lime pie ? We our both stuffed until tomorrow night lol but I highly recommend this restaurant 5 stars ⭐️

Best helpful hint is remember this is BYOB. We celebrated my Birthday at Charlesworth Restaurant at the end of summer. As we walked around to the Bayside entrance the sun was setting. The view is stunning. Inside, the Charlesworth is a step back in time with live piano music lightly filling the background. Our party of seven shared appetizers of Oysters Rockafeller, Lobster Mac & Cheese, Tuna Tartare and a Bisque Soup. I highly recommend the Tartare. I had the NY Strip which was cooked to perfection. It was heated throughout while still remaining a juicy medium rare. Everyone loved their entree's as well. We had no room for dessert but that didn't deter us. My husband loves Creme Brule which he insisted I taste as he described it as one of the best he had. For seven people, because there were no alcohol charges, the price seemed reasonable comparing to places with similar menus. This is a special place to visit. The staff are great, the owner is welcoming and the piano player just takes it to another level.

This destination on the Delaware Bay in New Jersey is truly spectacular. Everything about it is top-notch. From the food to the service and the accomodations. If you're looking for a quick getaway in a non-touristy area, this hidden gem in Fortescue is for you! The hospitality is quite special. The owners go out of their way to make you feel welcome and taken care of. And you cannot beat the view. It's breathtaking! You will not regret visiting this destination. I cannot recommend it enough!Rooms: Clean, comfortable, and charming!

My daughter, my sister and I were lucky enough to have dinner there the other night. It was one of the best meals I’ve ever had anywhere! The view was absolutely amazing and Syboll, the owner was delightful, knowledgeable, attentive, and made us feel like family! We will definitely go back there again and again.

My wife and I decided to have dinner here after family pictures and by far one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I had the pasta primavera and it was excellent!. The kids had kid meals with Mac n cheese they raved about. The owner was always checking on us and making sure we were good. The view of the Delaware Bsy at sunset is camera worthy.

I don't think there's enough space in Google reviews to explain how incredible this restaurant is. From the stunning views of the Delaware Bay to the exceptional customer service, our dinner here was one of a kind.Not to mention the food was incredible. We had clams and linguine, steak, salmon, cod, and scallops - all the best we've ever had. For dessert. We had their key lime pie which was the best we've ever had.

The Charlesworth has the best food, the best ambience, and Amy and Sybil Are the best host that you could ever find anywhere. This is a gem that South Jersey has. I hope they don’t share it with everyone because we are here every weekend all the time just the best. Sincerely, Lynn, John and their pilot Jeff.
