Pretty nice place, great service, and I had the pork chop that was GREAT. Only challenge I had was from a "value". Although everything was done well, it was just a bit pricey. I'm not a "cheap" diner either. That said, I'm sure the lease for that storefront is insane each month, so that burden has to be pushed down into the price of each meal. Overall, recommended read more

Came here on a Friday night for a friends birthday. We made reservations so we were seated pretty quick upon arrival. Ambiance is very nice, definitely business casual dress code. Our reservation was later in the night and there weren't too many other groups there. We tried so many things from the menu, wish I would have gotten pics of all. For appetizers we had the BBQ shrimp, fried green tomatoes, onion rings, and crab claws. All were excellent. My favorites were the BBQ shrimp and the fried green tomatoes. For our entrees we had everything from the lamb chops, filet, ribeye, Cesar salad, and the chicken. Again, all of it was great. There are very few places that have what I deem perfect cease salad and this is one of them! It was so good. I also had ribeye and no filler crab cake. Our waiter super personable and very attentive. They also gave us recommendations on some bars to visit during our visit. We had a really great time that night! I would definitely recommend if you're ever in Nashville! read more

We had Char cater a family dinner Saturday night for 12 that was absolutely wonderful! They provided us salad, amazing Ashley Farms chicken, delicious shrimp & grits plus mashed potatoes and green beans. Pecan pie dessert was also fantastic. Nothing could have been better. read more

I didn't have a lot of expectations for this place. There are a lot of steak places in Nashville, and I have been to many. However, this place did great with the selection, food, value, and service. We got the crab claws for an app. Being this far inland, I didn't expect many. We were pleasantly surprised to see a plate full. They were great. I got the prime rib and my wife got the scallops for dinner. Fantastic on both. Our server was top notch as well, and we didn't have to wait for a thing. He was great. This is definitely one of my top choices now. Would highly recommend. read more

A- for taking reservations, great wait staff/service, pleasant atmosphere, ease of parking and delicious lunch. D+ for snotty hostess who gave a lot of unnecessary attitude while seating us. I've been to Char a few times but always for dinner. I was looking for a last minute lunch reservation with a friend on Tuesday of this week. I hopped on Open Table and was glad to see Char on there and that they had a spot for us. The ONLY OPTIONS within Open Table app are "standard" seating (which I assume means inside) or "Outdoor" (which I assume means the patio). I chose "standard." The restaurant is long and narrow-ish and kind of cut in half with the bar area on one side and dining room on the other. The dining room has a row of six booths and the rest is table/chair seating. The hostess led us to a table when I noticed an empty booth and inquired if we could sit there instead. "Oh, no....unfortunately that is reserved." I replied, "Oh, I didn't realize you could reserve specific tables" and she said, "yes, for the booths." Again, I did not see this as an option in the Open Table app. She then added, "we also try to save these booths for larger parties." As she said this, I surveyed the five occupied tables. Four of the five were couples. Hmmph. So my friend and I sat at our table, enjoyed a nice lunch and had a great time. However, my meal didn't sit completely right as I sat there for the entirety of our lunch staring at that EMPTY BOOTH. In fact, four of the five occupied booths emptied while we were dining so when we left, there were FIVE empty booths, including the one I requested and was told it was reserved for someone. Not cool, Char. Not cool at all. read more

I truly wanted to like Char, as I love all 4 Top restaurants, but I was underwhelmed. The service was great as were the cocktails. The food however needed some help. Unfortunate because some of these things are rookie mistakes which you shouldn't see at this price point. Mussel appetizer - very flavorful but a lot of the mussels were broken. Really should not be serving broken mussels as it means they may not be fresh. Fortunately, no stinky mussels were had but the bits of broken shell in my mouth from the broth was troubling. I had the salmon. I've been on WW for 3 months now and asked if they could grill my salmon instead of pan sauté. They easily accommodated and it was delicious. They may need to add grilled salmon as a regular item because it was so good. Came with roasted veggies and they were good as well. My dining partner got the prime rib which comes with a loaded baked potato. His food came out below temp - the potato was cold and we sent it back. It was returned hot but with no sour cream. We had to ask for sour cream and it was so cold - like almost out of the freezer cold - which wasn't great. The prime rib was flavorful but could have been a little warmer. He also got a side of spinach gratin. It was good, nothing spectacular, but looked like it had plain Colby/jack blend just melted on the top. It too, was not very warm. I feel like they had already plated his food and then fired mine while his sat and got cold. Now to desserts - He got the butter cake thing which was really good - I got the pecan pie. Keep in mind, this was the first dessert I've had in 3 months so I ate it all however I wasn't impressed. This was not a southern pecan pie. It was in a shallow tart shell that didn't taste as if it was completely cooked and had a strange texture. The filling was looser than a traditional pecan pie, still good, but just not what I was expecting. There's no need to try and reinvent the pecan pie - its perfect in it's most simple state. read more

The only thing that prevented this place from getting 5 stars is our steak and pork chop came out medium after we told the waiter that we wanted both well done. Which happens often enough to me when I order a steak. Crab claws, crab cakes, pork skins, were all good. Did the usual and put that steak and pork chop in the oven when I got home and they were good, lol. The waiter was the bomb. read more

Old school steakhouse with charm, great service, excellent steaks, and a friendly vibe. Hard to go wrong with the menu. Simple but has enough variety to please most. The ribeye is second to none. The burger is also fantastic. read more

I really wanted to love it here. I sat at the bar since I was eating alone and I liked that they had a piano player starting around 6 pm. Bartenders and waitress were friendly but my duck was just extraordinarily undercooked to the point where it wasn't even enjoyable. I ordered medium rare but the middle was just raw so the texture was terrible. It seemed like they seared the outside a second then just plated it. They didn't even give me a steak knife so it was hard to cut. I would hate to see how they cook rare duck! The rest of the dish was pretty good although parts of the broccolini were maybe a little too spicy and I wanted a little more flavor from the blueberry Demi glacé. Overall just a disappointing meal - I had considered just going to the chipotle down the road for a quick dinner to go but changed my mind at the last minute. I would've been happier with a burrito. read more

Absolutely amazing place for brunch, lunch, or dinner! Even just for wine and dessert. I come here every time I visit Nashville... sometimes multiple times during my trip. I love love love this place! Amazing food - no filler crab cakes and crab claws are an absolute must, so are the fried green tomatoes!! Yummy drinks & great service. You won't regret coming here xoxo read more

Only went there because of company dinner. The food was great, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was very nice. Would I go there on my own? The answer would be a "no". I think it's too expensive for some steaks and side items. read more

After we tried to decide what to eat for our last meal in Nashville, we ended up at Char. Everything was delicious. The service was on point. If you need a place for date night or to celebrate something or just because you deserve it, this is the place for you. I ordered the cup of soup, broccoli cheddar and my husband ordered the wedge salad. Perfect starters on a chilly day. Then I got the steak frites and my husband got the pan seared salmon. Both cooked to perfection. We ended our lunch/dinner with the brownie and ice cream. Have to admit, it was a perfect ending to our Nashville trip!!!! read more

We had a very nice lunch yesterday at Char. I'm so glad this restaurant has found a home in Green Hills! We made a reservation and were seated promptly and cheerfully by a host, who took extra care in making sure we had a table that would accommodate our toddler. (Heads up: this place welcomes families, bit it's not a spot for mayhem and tomfoolery. But they make it easy for your kids to be well-behaved, thanks to paper table coverings and lots of crayons ) Our server, Ben, was very nice and prepared to help us above and beyond. We were impressed that he knew the prices of various bourbon pours by heart (even though not listed on menu) and that he was quick to respond to any requests. He did a great job, and it was evident the service culture there was a team effort of polished professionalism. Our food was delicious. I had a fabulous sandwich: The Beefeater. Thinly sliced roast beef, juicy tomatoes, sharp cheddar and creamy horseradish. My son had a decadent croque madame. And my husband had prime rib, cut to temperature, with yummy sides. Speaking of which, the sides on offer are terrific: crispy fries,butter beans, creamed spinach, greens, broccolini - yum! Our only quibble is that the dining area's decor is incredibly blah. The bar is quite pretty with cool lighting, lots of windows,a variety of textures to attract the eye. The dining area by contrast is really bland. It's as if the designers raced to finish the space and decided they weren't going to out equal effort I to the other half of the restaurant. With more high-concept, pricey places entering Nashville, I think the most competitive eateries will create a vibe that is as exciting as the food. For Char, I don't think it would take much to elevate the design to be commensurate with the awesome food and service - hopefully they will soon! read more

Char is an enigma, elegant, homey, speakeasy, with a good mix of food choices. The spinach flat bread with bacon was wonderful, and the mixed greens in the middle helped balance the cheesey goodness. I had the salmon with a delicious vinaigrette. The collard greens were decidedly unsouthern, probably had nutrients still in them because they knew nothing about pot likker. The chipotle mashed sweets didn't do it for me either. I should've gotten a burger, chicken tenders or the Thai chicken salad. I was happy with the fries I got from friends' plates. I was alerted about the bread pudding prior because I love it. Blueberry gave me pause. When I saw the portion I was dazzled because it's a really inexpensive dessert to make and tiny squares of it seem petty. They have us two huge triangles and got 1.5 sent back to the kitchen. It was awful. Dense, so much so that it was hard to cut with the spoon. Flavor-confused with raisins (which I do not like in BP) and the blueberry topping that had a weird taste. It tasted like... Well, just yuck. It propelled me to Lagniappe Bayou Kitchen in Goodlettsville for the best BP in town. Next time, I'll get pecan pie, which was divine, or peanut butter crunch if I want a buttery, sugary overload of joy. read more

Absolutely superb. Easily one of the best restaurants in Nashville that I've ever been to. The food is made from scratch every time and it taste like it. Amazing! The grilled crab claws are my favorite appetizer, but no-filler crab cake, whew! A close second. All of the food gives a Cajun, orleans flair. From the appetizers, to the wedge salad, to entree, to desert. Char is a must. Unmatched. read more

Loved it! Delicious food & great service at a reasonable price. They did seem to be having some trouble with the air conditioner not working to full efficiency, but still had a great experience. Highly recommend!! read more

Overall I enjoy this restaurant for a late lunch. The decor, layout and styling of the restaurant was great. Nothing about the seating arrangements were awkward and most seating spaces will be comfortable in here. There wasn't a wait for a 2:00 lunch on Friday so that was nice. The hostess was attentive and let us choose since it was low occupancy. The server Garrett was excellent throughout the service and had a great attitude and was friendly. Now for the food - I tried the gumbo and the chicken fingers. Both fairly simple dishes but I'll give credit that I felt like the spicing was excellent for the gumbo and tasted more upscale versus a traditional NOLA style and the ingredients tasted better. The chicken fingers were on point. Again, another simple dish but easy to mess up. The portions were more than enough and it had the perfect mix of crispy and moisture. I think the honey mustard was the star and the fries were overall of a good quality. Would visit again and try out dinner to see how they do. read more

Came here for lunch because I always enjoyed the Char location in Jackson, MS, but left here very disappointed.

I am THRILLED to welcome CHAR to Green Hills. Enough with the fast casual chains!! While those do have their place, CHAR is perfect for the next level. We arrived their second day of business. We were there early, as that is the only reservation they had available, so things were not "hopping" yet.. but they got that way as we made our way through our dinner. The main dining room is sleek and modern. I love the gold map of the city hand done on the wall. The clientele is a little older than I am used to seeing in the city, but I think that speaks well to the future success of this restaurant... as even the more mature audience was excited and prompt to see what CHAR was all about. I highly recommend the crab cake.. it is about 99 percent jumbo lump crab, with just a touch of other ingredients for flavor. Melt in your mouth! The duck was delicious.. perfectly cooked and a great combination of heat and sweet. And if you love a great steakhouse burger, you will love this one. They hang their hat on their steaks, and there is a reason for that. It is such a welcome bonus that the steaks COME WITH a loaded baked potato side. After our meal, we headed up to the bar to enjoy the live piano tunes. LOVE that they are featuring paino music. It adds such a nice ambience. A perfect fit for this venue. Expect it nightly after 6. Weekends will feature a jazz trio for brunch, I am told. The tables in the bar are open seating, but they stay pretty full. There was one fail... the valet parking was waaaaaaay understaffed and slow. I recommend you bypass the valet and park yourself in the garage. You can do so by driving past the valet, and veering to the left into the garage. read more

I have been to Char twice for lunch and I really like it. The food, atmosphere, and service is on point. I love the crab claws and shrimp prepared both ways. I did not like the mac-n-cheese and that's why I gave 4 stars. I will definitely be back! read more

It's a date night frequent visit. The service is great, the food is always cooked perfectly. We have never had a bad time here

We were very disappointed with this place. I ordered the chicken and waffles. The menu says Belgian waffle. Don't kid yourself. It was thin like a Waffle House waffle. My wife disliked what she had and the bloody Mary was just ok. We won't be back read more

My husband & I heard that Char was a new spot on the rise in Nashville, and that there was a jazz trio for Sunday brunch, so we knew we had to try it! We went early Sunday morning- I think we were the first people in the restaurant! The restaurant is gorgeous. Seriously, whoever designed the place deserves 10 gold stars. The service is extremely attentive, and everyone was super friendly. We both started with mimosas, which at $5 each is great deal. My husband ordered chicken & waffles and he absolutely loved them. He says he'd eat them every day if he could! He loved the balance of spices in the chicken and the sliced syrup, and there was a hint of citrus in the waffle that added a nice touch. I went with the creole sauté - crawfish, crab & andouille sausage all soaked in this yummy creole sauce served with some awesome cheddar grits. I could have licked my plate, the grits and sauce were sooo good. I was a little sad that we were too early for the jazz trio (they were about to start as we were leaving a little after 11), but for the quality of the food and service, brunch here is a steal and a really great experience! read more

While visiting in-laws in Nashville, they wanted to treat us to takeout from this place since they've enjoyed it several times in the past. Even though it wasn't the closest place to where they live, they thought it was worthwhile to order takeout from there. Pickup seemed kind of odd since it's located in what looks like an office building and you actually drive around the building. We enjoyed several types of crab claws as apps (so tasty) and I enjoyed my crab cakes, which my mother-in-law also got. I can't speak to the pricing since they paid, but I can definitely say the quality of the food was very good and oh those crab claws! read more

a date night location for my wife and I. The food was good, the drinks a bit overpriced for the quality. Overall, i would recommend. Reservations makes seating an ease.

Went in with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised. A decently good steak, nice sides and a good spot to eat. It's a very good steakhouse with a very nice wine list. Liked the starters we did and the steak was good to go, though the sides were a bit small. No biggie. Waitress was awesome the entire time. It's no tentpole steakhouse in the heart of downtown, but it's a good upscale steak place that does the job right. read more

I would love to give Char 4 stars they have a great staff outside of their manager Joanna who came in bullying residents and disappaproving of their convos.

What a wonderful dining experience we had at Char! We each had steak in a different form: ribeye, steak frites and steak and bleu salad. And each of us was extremely pleased with how tender and flavorful our choices were. Perfectfully seasoned, perfectly grilled and perfectly delivered to the table by topnotch servers. The only thing we could complain about in the end was how full we were because we could not bear to leave a single delicious bite on the plate! Upon arriving reservationless, we were happy to find an available table in the bar area. Bar, shmar, it was still a first rate experience. Zachary, our server, was hsnds down the most eloquent and attentive server we've had in a while. He was engaging and fun to chat with and very knowledgeable about the menu. Live, light piano music started little before 6. Self-parking in the garage underneath the property was convenient and free but valet service was available for $11. read more
