If you love seafood, or sushi, or great, artisanal hand-made inventive cocktails made with booze you can’t find anywhere else, Restaurant Charlie (as in Trotter) in the Palazzo should be on your permanent rotation of luxurious drinking and dining spots. It’s expensive to be sure – some of those cocktails run $20+ – but the care that goes into everything from your drink garnish to perfectly fried sea bream (with the most compelling citrus/cilantro/chile sauce we have had in some time), is palpable with every bite. Plus, everything’s a la carte (unlike Trotter’s last foray here), so if you want to nibble on a terrine of Maine skate wing, while your date devours some steamed Casco Bay cod, the tariff will be much easier to swallow.
