    I love Char and have had many professional lunches and dinners there. Yesterday's lunch was underwhelming. I ordered the Thursday shrimp special, and it was bland, and I won't order it again. But I will be back. JP

    Service was great, food was fine. Added chicken to my salad and it was overcooked and tough. Otherwise, nice atmosphere.

    A rare poor experience at Char. Ordered the steak and blue salad and got tough, fibrous overcooked meat on the salad. Asked the waiter to replace the meat and he came back with a tiny plate of small overcooked ends of meat. So disappointing. I had also marked on the reservation that it was my companion’s birthday, but nothing was said or done for that. Server was not great and the hostess didnt seem happy to be there. Not a great Sunday brunch.
