    This was my 2nd in-restaurant dining experience at Char, I really enjoyed my fried green tomatoes and lamb. My bf enjoyed his gumbo and salad, but said that the seafood carbonara was not all that he hoped it would be especially the lack of flavor as well as the lack of seafood. The shrimp that are placed on top are is all the seafood you will see or taste according to my bf. From the looks of it, that must be a common opinion about that dish because the lady at the table next to us order the same dish and didn’t look like she enjoyed hers either.

    Lamb chops weren't as expected. Duck wasn't great. My date did not enjoy herself. Also, ordered gumbo, mostly sauce, hardly no rice, or shrimp nor sausage. For the $120 ticket this restaurant should be closed.

    During my visit, I raised an issue with the taste of the crabcakes. The server quickly communicated the manager would come over. Randy Black I assume was the manager on duty came over to the table. I communicated my crabcakes tasted fishy and he responded, "Well, it is fish. Typically, we don't take back any food unless it wasn't prepared correctly, but I guess I can take it back." The snarky and dismissive comment was unnecessary. At no point, did Randy offer an apology or ask if I wanted something else from the menu but just walked away with the plate, unacceptable. The crabcakes served, unfortunately did not meet the high standards I expected from a "fine dining" establishment especially when we spent over $100 per person. I was disappointed to find that my concerns were dismissed by the manager and his response not only left me feeling undervalued as a customer but also raised questions about the commitment to customer satisfaction at the establishment.

    My food was awful! Eat there a lot and never have I had bland food like I had this time! I told the GM and he listened but showed no concern! They stress the dress code on their webpage but patrons were in sweat pants 1/2 way down their legs, vulgar sweatshirts and they had no problem seating them for Sunday brunch. If I did not have a gift card I probably would say good bye nice knowing you!
