New Restaurant - Char

I was intrigued by the Instagram Post of the new Char Restaurant before they ever hit town.  The food they posted was lovely, the atmosphere seemed fancy.  I stalked their Instagram until they finally opened.

Then I made plans to go pay them a visit

We went Sunday after Church for brunch.  They have a little 3 man band.  They were great. There is just something about live music and white tablecloths that make a meal even better.

The band is set up right in the entry

I do love some good piano music.

The staff is well trained, very attentive and knowledgeable.

We had french toast with sausage

Chicken and Waffles.....truly some of the best chicken I have ever had.

I forgot exactly what this was called but is was a breakfast sandwich with a fried egg on top and cheese grits.

and this was the chicken salad BLT.

We all sampled each other's dishes and were pleased with them all.

I thought the brunch prices were very reasonable.  We didn't have anything over $14.

I understand their dinner prices might be a little.....or a lot higher. 

Anyway, it is going to be a great little special occasion place or a brunch spot.

Give them a try and let me know what you have and how you like it.

See you back on Friday.

It is Restaurant Week!!!!

Today begins Restaurant Week in Huntsville

It is a ten day celebration of all the good eateries in town.  Starting today through August 19th you should really try a couple of new places......and let me know if you try anything good.  There are several to choose from and you can see the whole line up by clicking here.  

Each restaurant has special offerings for this week.  Some offer both lunch and dinner.  Some require reservations so read carefully the offerings and make your plans.

We plan on hitting a favorite of ours and trying a few new things.  Here are a couple of restaurants on our wish list:

Fire & Spice Tex-Mex Smokehouse

I have tried their food truck and it was good.  I am looking forward to their specials this week.  We are also looking forward to trying

Phuket Thai Restaurant

for the first time.  We have driven by this restaurant for years.  I think now is the perfect time to give them a spin.

We have tried this next one before

Drake's Restaurant

and have plans to visit them again.  Their special for the week sounds good plus they are just an affordable, fun option.

And who can resist

Texas de Brazil

Personally, I can't consume a lot of food at one time.  Don't get me wrong....I can consume a lot but I just need time.  Regardless, this is a family favorite so we made reservations to visit them during this week.

Make sure you click the link.  There are over 50 different places participating in Restaurant week.  If you have plans in other parts of the state this weekend, don't worry it happens to be a statewide event.  You can click here for the state participants.  There are restaurants listed for 11 different counties in Alabama.
