Description

Characters restaurant has received a mix of reviews recently, with some customers expressing disappointment in the declining food quality and service, while others continue to praise the establishment. Some patrons found the service to be insulting and the food overpriced, leading to a decrease in popularity. However, others still enjoy the restaurant for its vegetarian options, excellent service, and overall dining experience. The restaurant has been praised for its presentation, wine menu, and special dishes such as the grilled octopus and Arctic char. Unfortunately, Characters will be closing permanently in January 2019, marking the end of a 20-year run. Despite some negative feedback, many patrons still find Characters to be a charming and lovely place to dine.

Characters offers fine dining in a comfortable, elegant setting. The staff were friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the Tasters Menu which provided a means to sample many items from the complete menu. Pricing is on the higher scale but all food was excellently prepared and ample portion sizes ensured we were more than full at completion of the meal.

Our dinner was delicious. The Beef Tartar was excellent. Went on a Saturday night and there was a lot of open tables. The price point is quite high, and the menu hasn't changed much over the years. Still is a very good restaurant, just not a great one.
