   Business dinner - first time back in a year and food was not up to previous standards. Disappointing evening - service was okay, again not the level we have become accustomed to.

   I’ve been a big fan for a long time… never done brunch before but it was excellent. If you can handle the cost it’s a fantastic venue for food.

   We love a medium rare steak but our porterhouse was rare. Still very good but could have been cooked a tad more.

    We ordered the 32 oz porterhouse, medium rare. The kitchen sent it out, sliced it, plated on a platter and it was rare. We sent it back and the kitchen "cooked it a bit more". By the time it got to us our sides were cold and the steak was dry and tough. The waitress tried to address this by giving us 10% of but I still paid more than $150 for a twice cooked steak and appetizer. On New Year's Eve no less. My suggestion, should this happen to another customer, either make them a new steak or offer them another main course. Twice cooking a steak like that was a really odd choice and not one I would expect at that price point.

    The food was quite good but a bit bland. 2 of us shared the nappa cabbage, crab dip and the NY striploin with cauliflower. We added the chimichurry sauce after tasting the steak because it was under seasoned. The sauce was a great addition to the steak. Nothing was amazing but it was a good meal. Our server was very friendly. Both of us had awful chairs that we sunk into by about a foot (velvet blue chairs). We asked if we could swap chairs but she said they were all like that. For a higher end restaurant, I would suggest repairing/ upgrading your chairs.

    My daughters came to Calgary for the holiday and after some debate, we decided to go for dinner here. Due to weather, there were a few glitches in our plans but Charbar handled our delay and my grandchild that ended up joining us with grace and understanding. The food was tasty. The service was excellent. And the bit of mess that a toddler brings was dealt with swiftly and with a smile. We had a lovely evening and it was a great night with my family.

    We came at about 6pm and there were a few tables already, (one of the group was obnoxiously loud); other than that the whole experience was awesome, food was delicious, we had cabbage salad, ceviche( in my opinion was the highlight of the dinner) and steak, our server Latasha was super lovely! Oh, btw, please change the chairs?! Not the most comfortable experience sitting on sinking chairs!

    First time to Charbar for dinner. We arrived early for our reso and were seating 15 min late from our booking time but we were offered Prosecco as we waited. Nice. We were seated and you really sink into the fabric chairs so as a 5’2” person, I felt like even more of a hobbit at the table. The service was ok, prompt and bare minimum - took our order and brought the bill…did not go over and above to make conversation or recommendations - even when asked he pointed to the different columns of the menu and said - this is where you find the steaks, this is our pizza column, these are appetizers….yeah thanks…we can read….anyways…. Steak was ok. Cooked how I asked. Portions are small. The venue was VERY loud on a Friday night. There was a party upstairs or something with a DJ? And we couldn’t hear each other speaking from across the table so we left early without dessert or after dinner drinks. I won’t be rushing back to Charbar but it wasn’t awful. Would go back if someone asked but wouldn’t be my first choice.

    3 of the 4 people at our table spent the evening after we left in the rest room with upset stomachs. Needless to say I was not impressed. $300 plus dinner to get sick. Very likely will not return

    We popped in for brunch on a Sunday and it was my first time. I was so pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything was. Our server was a jewel and the perfect balance between personable, helpful, friendly and respectful of our privacy. The restaurant itself is quite beautiful and I"m looking forward to the ambience in the evening. Definitely worth checking out.

    Made a reservation for our Christmas event for Tkshotz Photography. We came in for dinner and had a great meal. Staff was helpful and knowledgeable about the menu offering great recommendations. The atmosphere is cozy and pleasant. The dishes were delicious as were the wine and cocktail recommendations. While we have worked several weddings there we were excited to join Char Bar for a sit down 3 course dinner!

    Chef Ricardo is amazing. He pays such attention to detail in all of his dishes. Everything was amazing. The standouts for me were the smoked beets, the cauliflower, masa fries and of course the porterhouse.

    It was dissapointing to see servers still wearing masks - When I go to a restaurant, I don't want to feel like I'm visiting the doctor. When my server is wearing a mask, it makes me think that they are potentially sick, and shouldn't be serving me.

    Great food however we were charged for the most expensive champagne on the menu when my husband requested two glasses for our anniversary to be on the table upon arrival. Once viewing the bill we compared it to the prices on the menu and there were two other champagne options at a much lower price. Would of been nice if you gave him the options instead of assuming of giving the most expensive one. Also we don’t go out to receive something for free but would of been a nice compliment if something was taken care of on our bill considering it was a special occasion.

    The demographic in the building is older adults. Live music was a surprise! Area was warm and there was a lot of people. Servers do not inquire much from you and do the minimum. Food arrived timely and were delicious. Upon arrival we were given a heads up that due to the amount of reservations (besides our own) that evening that we would only be able to dine for up to an hour and a half.
