Happy hour special is on the lounge side only: half off sides & $3 lamb chops (must order 4 or 6) NO DRINK SPECIALS. I really enjoyed the music being played on the lounge side, at a comfortable volume so you could still hold a conversation. Initially ordered the oxtail eggrolls & lobster Mac n cheese. Waitress came back and said the eggrolls were unavailable so i switched to the oysters. My friends enjoyed their wings and lamb chops. Oysters came out salty and burnt. I was able to send them back no issue. Lobster Mac n cheese was also a tad salty, but edible. Nice chunks of lobster throughout. The $20 Wokesha drink I had was okay. Overall, I'd probably come back for the vibes and to try other dishes.

Ww had a table for 5 and all of our orders were handled in a timely manner and the food was delicious! I started out with a cotton candy martini! It was so delicious. If you are into fruity drinks this would be a perfect one for you. I had the jerk oxtails and I MUST go back for more. They were tender, juice, flavorful, and just all around . I am definitely going back for more. The bed of beans and rice that it came with was just as filling and delicious. Now if you are a lover of R&B music, this is also the place for you. The noise level is pretty up there, but I love music so it didn't bother me one bit. They also have another side attached that has music, hookah, food, and vibes. We went over for a moment after we had dinner and enjoyed it. I think you have to order at the bar because no one ever came to take our order. Overall, I had a great time. The service was great, the music was good, and the food was even better! Love it and I will definitely be back for a drink and those oxtails! Yummy!

So I started off looking for a nice little happy hour. This was the only place I found anywhere…read moreclose to me that mentioned one. It's 3-6 pm, half off Speciality drinks and $10 appetizers. Plus $5 wells. I ordered a Margarita and two apps to be quick. The apps don't look huge, but then you start eating, and they last, and last, and last! If you are uncertain and are gonna pick an appetizer based on a recommendation , if they tell you they took it to a competition and it killed, order that one. Turnip Green Bites were outstandingly exceptional! Don't let turnip greens turn you off! Just tell your Mom you ate your vegetables and move on! These will change your life! I followed them up with the Duck Wontons, and while good, it is just hard to follow and act like The King, Turnip Green. Service was quick and super friendly. I didn't get to explore upstairs because it was closed on a Tuesday. But the rest of the restaurant is nicely contemporary and well decorated. The lighting works. Not too bright, not too dark. And you can hear to talk to your group. No screaming over a too-loud soundtrack. Definitely give this place a try, I'm glad I did! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the plating. Needs some work.

Charred just enough to let you know it's been through something. The tortillas? Hand-pressed confessions. And the salsa? That's not heat -- that's a sermon. The staff? Moved like family. Not in a fake, corporate-choreographed way. Real family. Like someone's tia is watching from the back kitchen and you better get it right. Atmosphere? Warm. Loud. Smelled like home. If you don't have one, this place will loan you one for an hour. Get the enchiladas. Trust me. They don't just feed you -- they forgive you.

The biggest issue was the parking and entry process. It felt very unorganized. It didn't seem like the VIP parking signs were set up before the crowd started arriving, so people parked wherever they could, only to be told they had to move. Then, instead of letting everyone wait under the covered walkway, they kept directing people back into lines in the hot sun. Between the purse checks, security pat-downs, and confusion about where everyone was supposed to be, getting inside took longer than it should have. It honestly felt like the staff hadn't had a pre-event meeting and were trying to figure everything out as they went. They really need to improve that process because it put a damper on the start of the evening. Thankfully, once we made it inside, everything got much better. Our waitress, Indiana, was attentive and did a great job, especially considering how busy it was. We ordered our drinks, appetizers, and entrées all at once to stay ahead of the crowd, and the food came out fresh and delicious. I ordered the catfish plate with fries and collard greens, and everything was cooked perfectly. I also tried the cobbler egg rolls for the first time, and wow...they were absolutely amazing! They were so good I had two and had to stop myself from ordering more. I'll definitely be getting those again. Despite the rough start, the food and service made up for it. This place consistently delivers great food, and even with a packed house, the table service remained solid. If they can get the parking and entry process organized, the overall experience would be excellent.

Every bite was tender and packed with flavor, making them an unforgettable appetizer. The steak flatbread was equally delicious, layered with tender steak, fresh toppings, and perfectly melted cheese. The cocktails were expertly crafted and worth every sip. If you visit during Happy Hour (Monday-Friday, 3-6 p.m.), don't miss the discounted cocktails, featured wines, draft beers, and appetizer selections. It's one of the better happy hour values in the city. Char Restaurant +1 Then came dessert--the legendary Butter Pecan Cake. This dessert had to be created in heaven. Warm, buttery, rich with toasted pecans, and paired with creamy vanilla ice cream, every bite melted in your mouth. It's easily one of the best desserts in Memphis. Even better, this masterpiece is also served at CHAR's sister restaurant, Amerigo. From the exceptional food and handcrafted drinks to the polished service and elegant atmosphere, CHAR delivers a five-star dining experience from beginning to end. Highly recommended. Order the crab claws, enjoy Happy Hour, and whatever you do... don't leave without the Butter Pecan Cake.

We came in on a Saturday around 5:30 PM, and there was live music playing at the piano, which added such a nice touch to the atmosphere.

Our waitress came over right away with waters and took our cocktail orders. We went with a Lemon Drop and a French 75, and both were delicious! We decided to keep it simple and order a few appetizers--the No Filler Crab Cakes and the crab claws, half fried and half grilled. Everything was SO good! When they say "no filler" on the crab cake, they mean it. It was ALL crab, and the crab claws are always a favorite. Great food, great drinks, great service, and a great atmosphere. We'll definitely be back again!

First time here in many years. By and large, I think Mexican restaurants are superior to American…read moreones in terms of service and food quality. Viva Mexico is no exception. I am eating the enchiladas supremas with the variety of enchiladas. Bean, beef, chicken, and cheese. Very, very good. I will return Salsa: just the right amount of kick. Very good. Also just the right temperature. Slightly chilled but not cold. I hate cold salsa with warm chips and they got it right. Service: wait time just a few minutes. Average for Mexican food. Tea is topped off without my asking however she takes my tea away from me to go refill it. I hate that. Temperature: not too good in this department(except for the salsa). Food was warm but not super hot. Plate was not warmed up so food cools down quickly. Mexican food typically will burn you when it is served, but not my plate. Appearance: just kind of so so. Dirty carpet, worn out seat covers on booths, chairs and tables that wobble, limited decor, but nothing really bad. Tables are being cleaned promptly and the dining room appears clean. Health department score: 98! Way to go! Music: low level oldies instead of Mexican music. I actually found this to be a pleasant surprise. Menu: everything you can think of in every combination is on this menu. Also plenty of pictures. I think my biggest complaint is the temperature. If my plate was piping hot it would deserve five stars. I talked to the cashier about this and her said the enchilada plates are microwaved. Well there you go. No wonder.
