    Everything was delicious and seasoned perfectly. Sat by the window with a view of the water. Very friendly and enjoyed learning about how the restaurant came into existence.

    This is a family owned and operated new business. From the moment you drive up front and park you know this is going to be a good experience, and it was. From the custom drinks to the deserts this was an experience we will cherish. If you like old fashion drinks 🍹 this is your place. The appetizers and salads were fabulous then came the meats which were served hot and done to perfection. If you are ever in this area DO NOT PASS Char 51 up. Make this your choice for lunch or dinner you will not be disappointed.

    I went here to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Its was a very pleasant environment that made you feel high class and cozy. The customer service was polite and attentive and we received our food quickly. Food was delicious and left there full to the brim. I will be going there again and recommend to others.

    Needs something.. interior needs help to charge the price they charge. Cannot price yourself at 59.99 (SAME price as Texas de Brazil chain which has whole salad bar buffet) and not offer similar style AND also provide paper napkins likely purchased in bulk from Sam’s club. Bar tender is also the server ? No complaints about food. Will not survive in Navarre.

    Terrible experience we had a server who got drink orders wrong, took 30 minutes to receive the wrong drinks, waited 45 min for meat to be served but we didn’t get our starters for about an hour to come out, and those were wrong too. The food wasn’t bad but was not worth it for the price. Server disappeared through the night. 2 hours in when we were ready to leave I handed my card to pay and took 20 min to receive it back. Did not get a receipt had to ask for one took another 5-10 to get that. $230 later birthday dinner ended up being terrible and we felt robbed.
