    We had a great experience with a brunch at Char. We sat at the bar and sampled a couple of their specialty drinks, all of which were excellent. The Memphis mule was extremely refreshing on a hot July morning. The crab caught appetizers were well prepared and a great portion size. The entrées and sides were cooked perfectly and came out fairly quickly. There were two great bartenders, I can’t recall either of their names, but a male and female, and we never waited for anything. They were very attentive.
