Char Restaurant Review – A Memorable First (and Second) Visit! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I visited Char for the first time this past Friday, and I was so impressed that I returned the following Wednesday to meet another friend. Both experiences were fantastic from start to finish. Our server, Cedrick, deserves a special shoutout—he was attentive, pleasant, and made us feel truly welcomed. He struck the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness, enhancing the whole dining experience. The atmosphere at Char is absolutely on point. The sound levels were just right—not too loud, not too quiet—and the ambience was warm, comfortable, and elegant without feeling stuffy. It’s the kind of place where conversation flows easily, and you feel relaxed from the moment you sit down. Char has definitely earned a spot on my “go-to” list for both casual meetups and special occasions. Looking forward to my next visit!

Wonderful place to dine. Excellent food and service.

We went for Mother’s Day brunch. The restaurant was very busy but we luckily got seated on the outside patio. Our server was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, they accommodated my request to add fresh herbs to my scrambled eggs and the potato hash was delicious. My husband got the chicken with sausage gravy - a lot of food and delicious. My kids got the strawberry French toast and we all loved it. Our order was taking forever to get to us because of how busy they were but our server apologized and the manager sent out a plate of fried calamari while we waited. I don’t even like calamari but it was tasty. Loved the creamy dipping sauce. This was a really appreciated gesture to make up for the wait. My favorite part of the meal though was the banana coffee cake. It’s plenty to share and my favorite part of brunch there!

We ate out on the patio and it delightful. Excellent good and exceptional service!
