Charlie was a sinner.

Visited this fully vegan tapas spot in Philly and had a fun experience overall. The Potato Croquettes were a standout super addictive and perfectly crispy. The Caramelized Eggplant Bao Buns were also really good, great flavors and presentation. The Korean Style Crispy Tofu was just okay, nothing that wowed me. The Charlie Sliders were a bit of a letdown expected more from them. The atmosphere is cool and moody. Worth a visit if you're curious about creative vegan small plates, just manage expectations on some dishes.

We reserved this restaurant for a party of 11 people and ordered through the tasting menu and I loved that each individual had its own plate. It does seem that the portion sizes are small but trust me, it a lot of food. We were full beyond our capacity! Food was good, wasn’t that great as I have tasted better vegan food. But I absolutely loved the zucchini sliders and potato croquettes! Definitely worth the try! Restaurant has a bar and their mocktails and cocktails were amazing! The place is a but dark and music is loud and seating arrangement is kinda crowded so it’s a bit difficult to talk to. Washrooms were clean and a bit difficult to find but they were clean and tidy. Servers were amazing and quick in their service, they even checked our coats so we all can comfortably sit. Service was quick and all food for the table arrived at the same time so nobody had to wait. Overall, a decent restaurant and definitely worth the try! I loved the name, and the idea of their vegan kitchen! I will visit it again!

Sat at the bar on a recent Saturday. Was phenomenal food and atmosphere. Decent music. The bartender was also really nice and knowledgeable. He happed to be from Towson Maryland, same area i went to college. The food bites were incredible. Absolutely LOVED the crabcake sliders, and the eggplant bao. We had some clever cocktails and some other drinks. I thought the cocktails were well priced for the labor and ingredients. My only gripe is sort of dumb one. I don’t usually get cocktails because of too much sugar and love a bonded whiskey on the rocks. I had some old granddad bonded from the well on the the rocks. They were 15 a pour. (Looked like 1.5 oz). 15 a pour for that was a bit steep. For a buck or two more, you might as well get a cocktail. Also, if you’re old bring your reading glasses, it is dark. Lol. It gets busy, so make sure you have a reservation.

Somehow my reservation was cancelled but the staff was able to put our party of 3 outside so I appreciate the last minute accommodation. The restaurant was very busy on a Saturday night. Very dark and moody inside. We ordered the meatballs, potato croquettes, korean style tofu, sliders, empanadas, and the Turkish lamb kafta. My favorite dish was the empanadas. I could’ve eaten 3 orders of them as my meal. The sauce was to die for. Everything else was pretty good. The Korean style tofu was pretty spicy and definitely my least favorite. My vegetarian parents loved the meatballs and the ricotta. We got the coconut crème brûlée for dessert which I highly recommend. We did end up being overcharged which we noticed after our card was ran but the staff was able to correct this quickly.

Stopped by Charlie Was A Sinner fora nightcap and I really enjoyed what it had to offer. The space gives dark, intimate, chill and seductive vibes. It's very cozy and warm and was perfect for ending the night. The service was good. The server made sure we had what we needed and gave us great recommendations. I loved my drink and would definitely return to try other cocktails. Overall cool place and a great spot for catching up with friends or for a date night.
