Editorial Review for Charivari Restaurant-Home Of European Cuisine – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
Void of American trendiness, simple Charivari dodges the nearby hip-zone of its bustling Midtown locale with a tableau so authentically European, you could be in a roomy Berlin bistro. Showy stemware, doily-fitted trays, and silver dome-covered serving plates make dramatic table presentations, attracting power suits at lunch and a mature set by night.
The Food
Chef-owner Johann Schuster and German wife Irmgard-Maria, gently welcome you with baguettes and ethereal caviar mousse. Hefty flavor-packed portions will warm your winter-shivering bones but may prove heavy for Southern palates. Robust eaters relish the crisp Wiener Schnitzel splayed full-plate; "Zurich style" veal with rich champignon cream sauce; or salmon gratin bathed in beurre blanc. Just light: Beef carpaccio, or al dente risotto, fragrant with white wine, asparagus, forest mushrooms and arugula. Desserts are serious. Don't miss chocolate mousse "dialogue" or homemade ice cream.

Yes it is located in a strip center, no it's not in an old house or renovated church, but the menu BY FAR makes up for that. I had the lobster and after my first bite and had to sit back and take a moment because it was so good. Dined with a large party and every person raved about their meal. The chef/owner actually came out to make sure our food was prepared properly. Would definitely go back and highly recommend it to a friend.
Pros: FOOD
Cons: Expensive (but worth it for special occasion)

First off the atmosphere isn't great. It's in a strip center (albeit an upscale one) and other than having white tablecloths doesn't make much of an impression inside either. But what it does have is great service and food. It's a good mix of various European dishes(French, German, Romanian, etc) and everything I've had has been well above average. Presentation is very nice and the service has been impeccable each time. The food is definitely worth it and I'd recommend it to anyone.
Pros: Service, Presentation, Tase
Cons: Located in a Strip Center
