I have been eating at Char's for about 8 years now; I eat at lots of other Thai restaurant, as well, but I like Char's enough to have brought 20 people there for a brithday party, and everyone loved the food. The staff was well-prepared to help us (we made a reservation), and accomodated everyone's requests greacefully, which they always do for me.
I have only had a noticeable problem with the service once, and the food has always been great- I love their yellow curry, and they have a trout dish where you get the whole fish that is quite good; just be ready to have him staring at you!
Their ""Thai hot"" is hotter than any place I've ever been, so be careful! (though that was in 1999. I haven't dared to since...)
The atmosphere is quirky, but the place just feels good. You can't argue with that.
