Was Anonym at Charbar a mag?
Arrived early and we were seated on the patio for cocktails while our table was getting prepared. We decided to enjoy appetisers which were incredible and unique. My favourite was the avocado toast with pistachios. Delicious. The waitress was honest and attentive. The front end staff could be more light hearted they were so serious. Desserts were amazing but you couldn't get a cappuccino after ten which was upsetting... View all feedback.

What Anonym dislikes about Charbar:
Unfortunately the food was so expensive for the amount that the serve. The only good thing the hamburger. But that plus a pizza 4 drinks and a 4 pieces of beef and 2 scrambled eggs for $200 dollars. Not acceptable. Also the next day the cheese on the pizza was moldy. View all feedback.

Absolutely LOVE the venue. We'll be back! Amazing what they've done here with this historic building. It's beautifully rustic and modern. A stunning aesthetic. The food is unique, creative, and delicious, while catering to every taste. Great staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

We stopped in on long holiday weekend for brunch and we shared 2 appetizers. We started with drinks — a coral drive and a Trolley. Both weee very good and would highly recommend. We shared the crispy fired calamari and the pistachio avocado bruschetta. We thoroughly enjoy the combination. Will definitely return.

Tried their brunch and dinner menu on a same day! For brunch, I got the Double Patty Gaucho Burger and man it was heavy and sumptuous! Beef patty tasted really good, loaded with mozza and guacamole! My partner ordered Avocado toast and she said it was great too! Their avo toast had a chimichuri drizzle that adds flavour to the overall experience. For dinner, we tried their NY striploin steak (medium well), crispy calamari salad and torta rogel for dessert. Their steak was perfectly grilled and charred! We added chimichuri on the side to feel the real Argentinian meat experience. Crispy calamari salad was good too, with equal ratio of meat and greens. I think the best plate we had at Charbar was the Torta Rogel dessert cake. It’s a layer of wafer, dulce de leche and chocolate sauce. You should definitely try it! Staff were awesome and gave us a really good table service. The only issue we had was the SEAT CUSHION. We’ve read several reviews of this place and most of them complained of the very poor seat cushion. Be careful of seating down fast because it will give you a feeling of ‘fall’ on the floor. We observed other guests too and they all had the face of surprise when they sat on this cushion. I initially thought of giving them 4 Stars because of the cushion. But the food experience was really great that we decided to give them 5. Hopefully they change their seats soon cause they will get a lot of bad reviews from impatient and grumpy patrons.

The whole crew was terrific service. Hosting station to servers(Natasha) and kitchen staff. Took care of allergies, wonderful suggestions and knowledge of menu, including wines was great. Charred Napa Cabbage salad, Tableside Ceviche Mixto(Jessica made it thx), Beef Butcher Steak New York Strip. Chimichurri sauce fantastic. We were watching many other tables and it seemed like full enjoyment from them too. Give this place a try. I think you'll come back again and again.
