    We decided to dine at Char last minute for my husband’s Birthday. The Steak Oscar was absolutely delicious! Quinn our server was attentive, extremely knowledgeable and fun.

    Jessica our server was amazing. We were offered a spot by the window of fireplace. We choose the fireplace and it was the right call if you run cold and like a good ambiance. We had the New York strip, crab legs and shrimp with a side of potatoes. We loved our cozy meal and can’t thank Jessica enough.

    I know that the CHAR focuses on steaks but the Walleye dinner was absolutely fabulous. We chose Blackened which had a little heat to it. We have had a lot of Walleye dinners but this took the cake, best Walleye diner ever. Not just the Walleye but the entire plate(Wild Rice and corn soufflé). You have never had a corn soufflé like this before, we were speechless. The waiter was fantastic and told us the recipe is from 1930’s.

    If you are looking for an inexpensive dinner, this is not it. The prices are some of the highest in the area but the dinner, service, and atmosphere is worth it. We shared a steak dinner and I can tell you without any doubt it is the best steak dinner in the area.
