The wife was down ill, so rather than cancelling I grabbed the 14 year old. Here’s his review:
Seats: Next to bathroom no view- 1/10
Bread: Warn with an interesting charred outside, smoky flavor and nice whipped garlic butter- 5/10
Pasta Flight: Ravioli: Good texture and the short rib filling was nice, Manicotti: Not sure what the filling was didn’t enjoy, Other pasta shrimp: Didn’t try can’t say- 4/10
Oysters: Didn’t try 0/10
Filet Mignon: Good color in the middle but the outside was very charred, too well done and overwhelmed the flavor of the steak- 7/10
Mashed Potatoes: Some of the best mashed potatoes I have had at a restaurant not chunky excellent flavor- 9/10
Mac n Cheese: Also a really good side I liked the bread crumbs and was very tasteful- 8/10
Pork Chop: My dads dinner didn’t try- 0/10
Dessert: No good options (only 3 choices) 0/10
Service: Helpful and nice waiter, food did come a little slow but not to long of a wait- 9/10
Overall: We were sat relatively quickly although it was next to the bathrooms, our waiter was very nice and checked on us often, the appetizers that I tried were only okay but my dad said what he had was good, the main course was good I got the filet mignon which wasn’t cooked evenly although it didn’t affect the taste too much, we got the mac n cheese and mashed potatoes which were both excellent and I would definitely get again. The design and atmosphere of the restaurant were cool but they only played loud EDM music which I thought wad odd. Overall I would rate Char-kol a- 8.2/10 which means it lands in the go back category and recommend category.
