    Last night, I dined at Char in Albuquerque’s Hotel Andaluz, and it was fantastic. Our server, Thelma, was a delight—warm, knowledgeable, and spot-on with her recommendations. The steak was awesome, perfectly charred and juicy from the Josper grill, and the burger was a standout too—flavorful, hearty, and cooked to perfection. Thelma’s attentive service and the modern Southwestern vibe made it a memorable meal. If you’re in town, Char’s steaks and burgers are a must-try—especially with Thelma taking care of you!

    Disappointed that when we arrived, nobody was at the check-in podium to greet us for several minutes and that it took nearly 30 minutes (on a Tuesday night) after being seated to get simple bread and beverages delivered to our table despite asking multiple times. My Cowboy Ribeye was so seasoned and salty that I only had three bites before asking for it to be bagged. I appreciated being recognized for my birthday and our waitress comping my dessert. The waitstaff is hardworking, and despite my overseasoned steak, our sides and dessert were delicious.
