⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars – An Exceptional Dining Experience! WOW! What an incredible experience at Char Blu! From the moment we walked through the door until the moment we left, the service was absolutely impeccable! We were greeted by the sweetest hostess, who took a moment to genuinely welcome us and visit with us. What a wonderful first impression! We enjoyed a drink at the bar while waiting for our guests, and the bartender was fantastic—friendly, engaging, and so much fun to talk with. Once seated in the dining room, the exceptional service continued. Our server was outstanding! He took the time to explain the menu and specials so thoroughly that we felt completely confident in our selections. And the food? Absolutely incredible! Everything was prepared beautifully and was every bit as wonderful as the service. There are other well-known steakhouses in the area, but Char Blu truly sets itself apart. Exceptional food is important, but exceptional service is what makes a dining experience unforgettable. Char Blu has mastered BOTH! It’s refreshing to visit a restaurant where every single person you encounter makes you feel genuinely welcomed and appreciated. We cannot recommend Char Blu highly enough! Five stars all the way around! We will absolutely be back!

Food was great as was the service. It's pretty loud in there, so conversation is a little challenging if that's what you're looking for. But, the vibe is fun and energetic. My wife and I were definitely a couple of the older crowd in there, but never felt out of place or awkward. We'll be back.

Best Easter brunch we have ever had. The food selection was more than we expected and everything was delicious. Very impressive and the service was impeccable. My uncle says we are coming back for Mother's and Father's Day if Edinburgh has another brunch buffet those days. Yes, please!

We had a wonderful team dinner at Hazelwood! Although there was a bit of a delay getting seated for our reservation, the staff handled it exceptionally well and graciously offered to buy us an appetizer. From that point on, the service was truly outstanding. Our server went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience, and the food and atmosphere were excellent. What could have started on a disappointing note turned into a fantastic evening. Wonderful service and a great place for a business or team dinner. We’ll definitely be back!

First time at Breva. Food was excellent. All of us enjoyed our meals. Generous portions. Ambience was comfortable. Service was a bit spotty, but not horrible. We'll be back.

The staff was great & the food & drinks were fantastic. The only negative is that they were out of pineapple juice, so 3 of us had to change our beverage orders (we survived).

    The market fish special was delicious and I had the Para Mi Amor drink and it was delectable and refreshing! Three generations loved every bite and and the noise level was loud enough to be cozy and soft enough that my grandma could hear everything we said.
