Had a pleasant experience at Char Bar. Drinks and apps were great- there's knowledgeable staff who are very engaging.
Unfortunately the food is not quite up to par with the service. I ordered a salad with steak cooked med, and it came well done. And my dining partner ordered chicken with mac & cheese. Now I'm not an expert. But I'm pretty sure it was from the blue box of kraft that they were serving. I don't know if this is a one time occasion or if this is always the version of the dish served. Just because it was served in cast iron...
But (while the blue box was cooked exactly to package directions and tasted fine) there was a higher expectation from our table. We did have a good laugh, though.
