    Service was amazing; however, my grouper was overcooked and over seasoned.

    We visited Memphis for a quick getaway for our 22nd wedding anniversary. We wanted a finer dining experience for our anniversary. And I really, really wanted shrimp and grits. However, I have a gluten allergy and also don't eat pork, so it was very hard to find a restaurant that didn't have either Chorizo or bacon. After searching high & low, Charsl's menu seemed perfect!! And we were NOT DISAPPOINTED!! The young lady at the front was patient as we were running a little late, but she still allowed us to keep our reservation. The ambiance was pleasant, and our waitress was AMAZING!! She double-checked all the food I ordered with the kitchen to make sure there was no gluten in it! One of the dishes I could not have, so she suggested the claws instead! I'm actually happy she did!! They were amazing!! My hubby loved his shrimp pasta and my shrimp. My shrimp and grits were top-tier! Our drinks were delicious as well. Chai Manhattan and Smoked old-fashioned . We are from Chicago and have very high standards for dining. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Char. We said we would return to Memphis and we will MOST DEFINITELY come to Char every time we visit!!! Thank you so much for making our visit and anniversary a delightful one!

    The grouper was cooked a little too hard and was a little dry. The salmon was perfect, the truffle fries were delicious and the Mac and cheese was good and cheesy.

    Service was terrible, our server had too many tables. Being it was mother day they should've been staffed properly. Usually at fine dining he server will clean the table with a scrapper before brining the dinner out. The table remained filthy from everyone sharing appetizers so it was crumbs scattered the entire time. My drink was terrible, had a bad smell as well, I sent it back and got wine.
    Char - MemphisResponded on May 16, 2025
    Hi Tasheia, thank you for your recent visit to Char. I'm so sorry to learn you didn't have an enjoyable experience with us! It sounds as though we failed to put our best foot forward with service and execution, and I sincerely apologize for coming up short in both regards. This is not the type of quality experience we have built our reputation around! Our General Manager has reached out to you directly to determine how we can turn things around for you. Thank you again for your patronage and feedback; we look forward to connecting with you soon.

    It took an hour plus for my food to come out, but the server was ready good and gave us some bread while we waited. The atmosphere was really nice and clean

Your feedback is valuable to us so we can address this with our staff and improve; thank you for taking the time to share with us. I hope this will not deter you from a return visit. We would love to see you back in again soon.
