Had a nice meal at Char in a beautiful setting, but make sure you book in advance. We didnt book and Adrian found us a table within half an hour as we enjoyed a couple of drinks at the bar. A solid cocktail list, including my favourite Gin, Hendrick's Enjoyed the Wagu Meatballs for entree. My steak was good, but... More
