We showed up and they looked surprised and said they weren't serving that night. Second time, a year ago, we were two of only six people in the restaurant and it was just okay. Last Friday we went again. Stood at that welcome station you see in the picture and waited to be seated. Everyone ignored us. After 10 minutes of waiting to be seated, my wife walked in to talk to someone and they saw here coming and went in the back. I asked the woman at the hotel desk what was going on. The desk clerk walked up to the bartender and they began an animated and not-friendly-looking discussion.After watching that for five minutes, we waved to them that we were done waiting and we and our two friends just left and went somewhere else. Weird place. They just don't seem to want to serve people. As far as I could tell there were only 3 people working the entire restaurant. Three tries is enough. We aren't ever going back, and we live 7 minutes away.

I freely admit that I was skeptical at first... But after several satisfying dinners - usually as a…read moreprelude to an evening at nearby People's Light - Fork & Bottle has not only captured my attention, it has also continued to impress. The setting, as you would undoubtedly surmise, is typically hotel-esque in nature. That being said, however, the room still manages to generate a certain generic charm. And I would also hasten to add that the service - even with our various parties of 20 or more - has been excellent in every respect. But on to the food... The dinner menu isn't quite what you'd expect. Take the starters, for instance. The usual suspects - Cesare Salad, Shrimp Cocktail, French Onion Soup, Buffalo Chicken Wings, Cheesesteak Egg Rolls - as you note, are present and accounted for. However, there are also a number of innovative diversions - such as Soft Bavarian Pretzel Sticks with Delco Lager cheese sauce, Pepperoni Bolognese Flatbread spruced up with crème fraiche, ricotta, Fontina & Parmigiano cheeses, and the Ten Million Dollar Dip that features Maine lobster, sour cream, bacon, cheddar, almond, scallions, and Ritz crackers - that manage to grab your attention. Moving on, diners may choose from either the Entrées category or take a more casual route with Sandwiches & Pub Fare. The former, which lists a number of all-too-familiar ingestibles, still manages to tempt our taste buds by teaming them up with some rather intriguing sidekicks. A not-terribly-exciting Pan Roasted Chicken, for example, is prepared agrodolce, with an alluring sour-sweet demi-glace... Chilean Sea Bass is cooked up teriyaki style... Canadian Salmon is adorned with a sweet & spicy glaze and companioned by mango & yogurt... Sautéed Lamb Sirloin is enhanced with a rich & savory Madeira sauce... and a 10oz Strip Steak basks in an addictive shallot & port wine reduction. Other main course possibilities include Angus Filet au Poivre with cognac cream, Char Grilled Pork Flat Iron marinated with garlic & oregano, Lobster Fra Diavolo, Crab Stuffed Shrimp, and Broiled Scallop & Lobster Gratin. On the other hand, should you decide to take the Sandwiches & Pub Fare route, have no fear, you will certainly not be disappointed. During previous visits, I sampled the Garganelli Pasta Bolognese and the Chicken Cobb Salad. Both were excellent. The former is comprised of buttered garganelli (egg-based pasta from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy), angus beef Bolognese, olive oil, and Parmigiano-Reggiano. The latter combines mixed lettuces, hard-boiled egg, tomato, blue cheese, bacon, and avocado sprinkled with a zesty lemon vinaigrette. Most recently, my dining companion made straight for the Crab Cake Sandwich, to which she gave an enthusiastic "thumps up." I, on the other hand, couldn't resist the considerable charms of the Chicken Cutlet & Ranch BLT, a luscious combo on toasted brioche immersed in an incredibly addictive herb ranch dressing. I should add that the delicious hand-cut French fries, which accompanied both sandwiches, were a considerable drawing card as well. The dessert menu runs the gamut... from such familiar sweet endings as Crème Brûlée and Warm Chocolate Lava Cake to Mango Lime Cheesecake with raspberry sauce, Warm Sticky Toffee Pudding garnished with vanilla ice cream, and Frozen Mississippi Mud Pie. The restaurant also offers Bassetts Ice Cream & Sorbet, should you be so inclined. For my money, however, nothing quite surpasses The Desmond's Warm Bread Pudding. Bathed in a sweet vanilla sauce, this is one outrageously rich, thoroughly delightful denouement that more than lives up to its considerable reputation. Simply not to be missed.

The picanha, ribeye, flank steak, and sausages were not to be missed. The salad bar also had some excellent options that made us feel a little better about gorging on fatty meats, too. Personally, when it comes to all you can eat grillin', I appreciated the wide selection of pickles and sour bites to contrast. And the cheese popovers and garlic bread? Don't be that person who "optimizes for maximum meat consumption," do something joyful with your life and get the extra buttery garlic bread, bro. We filled our plates twice, each of us. My dad had been having trouble eating, but he had some great food at Charkoal's. And again, the staff was super attentive, great with suggestions, and made sure our favorites kept coming out as we asked for them. They had a real family feel, and it made our family feel welcome at every interaction. I'll be back for sure.

This time, they have 2 prices. $66.00 per person if you wanted prime rib, fillet, and 2 other choice meats. $10.00 less if you wanted regular menu of meats. We went for the $66. If you like your meat medium/well, you're in luck. Medium/rare, forget it. Either way, the meat was rather tough. Sodas are not included in the price. Restaurant is clean and well kept. Staff was great but..... Sorry Charkoal, twice was enough for us. We won't be back.

When I asked for wine recommendations, he couldn't give me an answer which is weird to me. A simple 3-4 of some best sellers or ANYTHING would've sufficed in my opinion. We went for Tomahawk Tuesday where you are given the choice between a Tomahawk or Porterhouse, 2 starter salads, 2 sides, and 2 desserts. Great pricing for that. Another issue, the food took FOREVER. There is no way a salad should have taken that long to come to a table. The steak, I understand. Upon the arrival of the steak, it was beautiful! The steak was ordered medium, it was dry when actually eating it. It did have a great char to it though. Towards the ending, the service got better I guess, but I was already over the experience.
