    My husband and I tried the red, white, and blue burger last week. It was delicious!! Our server was Mitchell, who welcomed us back with a smile. Great service as always. This burger should be a mainstay on the menu. So darn good!!

    Char has a nice menu filled with steak and seafood choices. We went seafood this time (scallops and reddish) and we were not disappointed. Service is efficient and friendly. The wine list is over-priced, with only a handful of worthwhile choices.

    We go to Char quite often. Great atmosphere and service, and great food in the past. However, the last 2 times I went for dinner the salmon was overcooked (although I ordered it Medium) and had to be sent back both times. Hopefully they can work on this.

    Char - NashvilleResponded 5 days agoHi Amy, thank you for your recent visit to Char! I'm so sorry to learn that your entree wasn't cooked to the proper temperature. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention so that we were able to rectify the error while you dined with us, though I understand how this can put a kink in the flow of a nice meal. Thank you for taking the time to share your remarks, as this is helpful information for us to address internally and improve. We value your patronage and hope to see you in again soon!

    We love Char. We were with family from out of town on Sunday. The staff added space to a table to accommodate our grand baby in a stroller. And we were not in an area that might disturb others. The service was obviously great. We had some of our favorites - the crab claws (our very fav), fried green tomatoes and pork skins. Everyone had a seafood entree that was delish and we had a cinnamon roll gelato. We are big fans of Char and love to bring new folks to enjoy it.

    First time dining here..made reservations for our Anniversary.. presented with a signed card that said Happy Anniversary placed at our table which was nice.. The ambiance was so so.. I was a bit let down. Noise level was moderate .. could hear some music faintly in the background. Ordered a wedge salad which was nice but lacked the flavorful blue cheese dressing I’ve had at other restaurants.. it did look pretty though.. husband had the house salad which was very colorful, quite a few different veggies and the dressing was a tasty balsamic vinaigrette. Filet mignon was quite good.. I ordered the mushrooms which I’d leave off next time..didn’t have much flavor. Husband ordered the ribeye and was disappointed..lots of fat and gristle.. For dessert we had the homemade pecan pie with ice cream.. it was the star of the meal.. very delicious.. I’d highly recommend it..

    Celebrated our 51st wedding anniversary at Char. Wine was poured before we finished our cocktails; salads came while we we still eating out appetizers, entrees came while still eating our appetizers. Not quite the experience we expected. Dessert (blueberry bread pudding) inedible- dense as a brick! Bread was not offered, as we observed with other tables, we had to ask for it.

    Char - NashvilleResponded 3 days agoHello, thank you for your recent visit to Char. We appreciate you choosing to celebrate your anniversary with us! I'm so sorry to hear that we dropped the ball on the timing and execution of your salad and entree courses, and I regret how this affected your overall experience with us. We clearly made an error in the preparation and timing of your meal and I understand your disappointment. We'd love to speak with you in more detail about your experience-- would you be willing to share your contact information at your convenience? I'm hopeful we can rectify your experience. Thank you in advance for your time!

    Our dinner at Char was delicious. Sarah, our server, did a top notch job taking care of us. My only complaint is that when you eat dinner in the dining room, the restaurant will not serve you a shrimp cocktail. It’s available on the bar menu but only served at the bar. This makes totally NO sense to me. All of the top tier steak houses I’ve ever eaten in all have a shrimp cocktail on their main menu. I spoke with the manager on duty about ordering one and she said basically “too bad.” She was not very friendly in the least. Management should change this policy ASAP. Our server said I was certainly not the first guest who had wanted to order the shrimp cocktail. VERY disappointed in this aspect of our experience.

    Food was good, a lot of "extra" built into the dish that kind of overpowered the fish. Where we were seated was a bit awkward and we felt in the middle of the server traffic. Service was excellent. Overall very good.

    Char set the scene for the perfect meet-up with old friends. We were seated immediately upon our arrival in the main dining room. The menu was varied, and my steak was cooked to perfection. George, our waiter, was attentive and competent. A bonus....the piano player in the bar played incredibly well. Char will quickly become a favorite when entertaining our out-of-town guests.

    Service was really good, it was somewhat busy for a Tuesday night, however we were sat upon arrival for our 6:30 reservation. I ordered the fried crab claws and they were delicious. I also ordered the red fish sandwich and it wasn’t good in my opinion but it was promptly changed out for something else (chicken tender sandwich) which was fresh and good. Overall wasn’t a bad experience and would return if for nothing else the crab claws lol
