Service and ambiance was great. For the price the food was just OK. We ordered medium rare and received something between medium and medium well. We enjoyed CRU much better.

The Steak Oscar was excellent. Can cut the Filet with a butter knife. Loved the garlic mashed potatoes. We will be back for sure.

Excellent meal. We started with the brussell sprouts appetizer and they were cooked to perfection. My husband had the steak Oscar and I had the roasted half chicken. Both were exceptionally delicious. For dessert, I had the chocolate torte with strawberry puree and it was one of the best things I've ever eaten. My husband had the creme brulee and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm not sure of our servers name (Elona?), but she was absolutely outstanding; friendly, helpful and there when we needed something, but never hovering. She also made some exceptional cocktails! We had a great experience and would highly recommend Char.

We had a fabulous Mother’s Day brunch at Grand View Lodge! The food was delicious, and there were many options, including plenty of choices for children. Everything was beautifully displayed and thoughtfully prepared. The service was excellent, and our reservation was perfectly timed with no wait. Looking forward to returning next year!

Time after time the staff at CHAR continues to create an amazing dining experience. Iyrna and Quin are always so pleasant and accommodating making us feel like family. Food is second to none. Our favorite place for a date night or weekend getaway. Thank you, Grand View.

The restaurant was quiet , walleye was excellent and the sides were perfectly prepared. Our servers were attentive but not overly so . Except for the price ( and unexpected upcharge for a name vodka we didn’t request) it was a lovely evening.
