    Arrived at Char about 10 minutes before reservation time and promptly seated at large booth in bar area. Our server, Sam, and his assistant were quick to greet us with water, bread and very soon, cocktails. Sam was great at advising on entrees, suggesting splitting a salad and brought two wine bottles to allow us to make a choice. Both the steak and chef’s special sea bass were perfectly cooked. We enjoyed interacting with Sam and his assistant, both being professional but with more personality than one sometimes encounters at higher end restaurants such as Char.

    We were a party of 9 on a Saturday night. Service was spot on. Appetizers and mains rolled right out in a timely fashion. Our server made sure we all had what we needed and checked on us regularly. I would go back with a large party again.

    Great date-night spot. Excellent food and drinks, attentive service, and lovely atmosphere. A touch loud, so it was hard to hear the person across the table from me. Still highly recommended, and we will return in the future.
