About the restaurant
Due to Covid regulations and our assurance of social distancing, we have decided to incorporate, The Beauty Shop, our sister music club, Bar DKDC, our newest Back Dō Oasis Patio behind the Beauty Shop and our patio out front of the Beauty Shop.

In addition to the two outdoor igloos, we also now have multiple greenhouses outside to assist in social distancing and outdoor eating even during cold or rainy weather. These can be reserved via outdoor table bookings.

This is one way we can keep social distancing in place and still give all of you a great experience when you come back to see us.
We are looking forward to seeing all of you! We are doing everything we can to make sure your dining experience is comfortable and safe.

Enjoyed our lunch experience today at Char. It’s been a while since we visited, but had a wonderful meal. The salmon was cooked perfectly along with the vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes. The highlight was the appetizer which was fried crab claws, which or a delicious and plentiful! Look forward to visiting again soon.

Was apprehensive based on previously posted reviews, but I was extremely pleased to have a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience. I was greeted by the staff about 3 minutes after arriving 5 minutes late to my reservation. Was patiently allowed to wait about 15 more minutes for the rest of my party to arrive. We were seated almost as soon as they arrived. Excellent timing for eat course arrival/chef arrival and execution of food prep. Service was also exceptional. Food was AMAZING!!
