"It would be easy to survey Char Bar’s industrial-chic dining room and expansive, outdoor beer garden (complete with a fire pit and bocce courts), and write it off as style over substance. That would be a mistake. Sure, Char Bar is crowd-pleasing, with table-service, brunch cocktails, and vegetarian entrees. But the restaurant is also quietly serving some of the best burnt ends in the city, which perfectly balance seasoned bark and yielding bite. Although Char Bar has two locations, the original Westport restaurant is more centrally located." - Liz Cook
