Char Steakhouse and Oyster Bar

The food was excellent. The pricing seems to match that of larger cities, but the service was great. I got the delmonico steak, which was good, but not great. It lacked a certain depth of flavor that I expect from a steakhouse at this price point. The lobster and alaskan king crab had excellent flavor, however they are certainly very overpriced unless they are literally flown in daily, which I do not think to be the case. For springfield, missouri, this is an excellent establishment. However, I do think the pricing is a bit above what it should be, hence my knock to the value rating.

Christmas eve dinner. Started with Lobster bisque and French onion soup. Excellent Sea Bass and filet. Table bread had a couple of frozen pieces and Lyonaise potatoes too crisp and over done. It was a busy night for them so will definitely try again.

Wait staff was not attentive. Had to wait on water glass being refilled. Waiter took too much time between ordering drinks, appetizers, main course and desert. Took 2 and a half hours to eat and you were not busy. Also waiter not professional in supplying replacement or extra silverware, clearing used dishes, etc.

Our waiter Michael was extremely nice and attentive.

Birthday celebration. Service was excellent. Food superb.
