Our service was very good. One steak was a perfect medium rare. The other was medium when it was to be med rare. We would like to see better wines by the glass. The main dining room is loud at 7:30 so plan accordingly.

My crab cakes were delicious as usual. However, my friend’s redfish dinner was not edible. The waiter offered her a to-go box. On leaving, my friend talked to the manager. He was apologetic and offered a gift card.

An absolute superlative dining experience! Our server, Michael, was the epitome of professionalism. Appetizers and entrees were of the finest quality with more than generous portions. We will definitely be visiting several more times in the future.

The food was spectacular and delicious. However our service was not great. We had reservations and the hostess was perfect. Our waiter was not. No bread service although adjacent tables had it,no water refills even when glasses our were empty. Long wait for the check.

Char is a favorite dining destination for our family. Highly recommend. We were seated close to kitchen. I should’ve considered that when I took my first bite. The crusted redfish burned my mouth it was so hot. So I just recommend blow blow blow before you take a bite😬. Otherwise a great great experience

Everything that we had among our group of 4 was outstanding. We were so pleasantly surprised at the Pork Rind appetizer (which we ordered just because it was so out of the ordinary) - it was delicious! We chose Char to celebrate our dear friend’s birthday, and we’re not disappointed!

I would not recommend the house salad. All it contained was frisee lettuce. No other green to give it some taste. It was very bitter. The bisque was excellent. The BBQ shrimp was very spicy, and overall it was ok. For someone who really enjoys spicy foods, this is probably their dish.

It was our anniversary and we had an excellent experience. The food was perfect as always. Every facet of the evening was outstanding from the time we walked into the door to the time we exited. All employees were very welcoming, attentive, and engaging. I don't think you can find a better overall dinner experience anywhere. Thanks, Wayne.

There was no one at the receptionist counter, for a few minutes, when I arrived. I stood there a few minutes and another gentleman came in after me. When the receptionist came, she asked him “how could she help him?” When she returned to me, I was seated with my guest who was already seated. He had ordered water, without lemon. He was served at his left side with a slice of lemon on the rim of the glass. I asked him why the lemon was on the table and not in a saucer/small plate and he indicated that he indicated no lemon so he took it off the glass and put it on the table. Based on the placement of the water, I thought he had ordered the water for me. He ordered a house salad and fried okra. The salad came without the okra. Our waitress never returned to see how our lunch was going. I eventually beckoned to another waitress and asked her if she could check on the okra my guest ordered. I ordered a spinach salad and crab claws, half and half. The sautéed crabs were stirred/cooked until they were broken up into soggy pieces of shredded meat, off the legs. When our waitress finally returned, she did not offer us dessert. I dine there from time to time; however, this was a very different and negative experience. Typically, I tip beyond what is customary but I decided not to tip yesterday because I decided at that time that I am no longer rewarding horrible service.
