    Wonderful experience. Table by the fireplace, attentive, but not annoying server. Tasty special cocktail, great house salad, and the star of the show, the amazing entree. All the flavors were perfectly paired. Generous portions priced right. The Chicken Curry is incredible!

    Char is our go to restaurant when entertaining or want a great meal! The food is always delicious, beautifully presented and the service is outstanding! I believe our server was Jessica last night and with all the people that dine there, she actually remembered us and the cocktail my husband had ordered from a previous dinner there! Very impressive! She is great, personable and the young lady coming around and freshening up waters was also very nice. We will continue to drive to you from the other end of the lake! Char is our favorite! Thank you for hiring great people!
