Char - Memphis

My wife and I went for our anniversary. I thought this was fine dining but just believe it is upscale dining. We pulled up to no valet and an armed guard outside. The inside decor is nice but just doesn’t make you feel like fine dining. We had drinks, sautéed crab claws, filet, wedge salad, and lamb. The food was pretty good. We really like the filet and the crab claws, everything else was okay. The balsamic reduction came in a cup on the side of the lamb. In was like jelly and would adhere to the lamb, I believe there could be a better way to do this. Our server never introduced himself, never really spoke to us but was just like what can I get you. My wife is gluten free and his explanation of what they had on the menu was pretty disappointing. I just thought it would be better for the price you pay. The meal was over $200. My wife and I ended up back here with another couple after a manager reached out and apologized for the first time. He recommended the bar area due to it having a better atmosphere. He was right. It was a way better experience. Still not the best but better. I still do not recommend for fine dining. Dietary restrictions: No gluten free menu. You will have to do your own determining for what is gluten free. We were told all sauces contained gluten.

Went for our anniversary and everything was amazing!!!! Would definitely recommend!

I ordered to-go for my son’s birthday and both of our steaks were so undercooked that I had to put them in the oven. The steaks also didn’t have any “char” or Maillard on it. The steaks looked wet and tasted disgusting. For the price of the NY strip they really shouldn’t be anything short of perfect but this is far from satisfiable. The Mac cheese is delicious the brownie is very good. This is actually the 2nd time they’ve messed up our steaks so I don’t think I’ll be going back even though it’s close to our home. Also I added in shrimp on the side of my NY strip which was $5 but it only consisted of 2 shrimp. I think that’s not a good add-on for the money being spent.

One of the most lackluster dining experiences I've had in Memphis. Was greeted with a rushed introduction from our server on day where the restaurant was barely filled. Never got his name. Pretty disappointed especially after reading some of the raving reviews.

I love love our waiter he was so so nice And professional and funny PRICES WERE TOO MUCH ??
