Char 1788 - Gardiner

The food and ambiente were both great. unfortunately it took an hour to get our food (and they were not particularly busy). they were very apologetic about it and gave us a free drink, but there was still a damper on the experience.

Hard to explain, but this place is just excellent. The service is simply the best the ownership must take a real interest in the workers, each is as pleasant as can be. Everything I've ever ordered is delicious portions are fair. Reservations will insure you a spot. Go early for a tasting. Dessert's are best with a cup of coffee, which is outstanding.

Nice location of the Restaurant with a Bar next to the Distillery. A nice place with good food and a nice selection of beer. good selection at the bar. Excellent service and nice atmosphere.

A friend and I went away for the weekend and went to this place for dinner. It was a very nicely decorated and the ambience was romantic and calming. Our server was awesome. Very good personality. The venison meatloaf was a little Gamey which is understandable. We tried the lentil soup and black bean soup and they were okay. Portions are big. I had salmon which was very good. Cocktails were really good as well. Overall a good place and we will return. Outside patio was beautiful.

Loved everything about it. The atmosphere and menu is a good balance of laid back and fancy. Design and décor were very well done. The food we ordered was cooked perfectly. I got salmon and was cooked just right. Would definitely go back next time we are in the area.
