Char Blu had a diverse menu, excellent service, and a fantastic atmosphere. A view of the lake while eating on a nice day is unbeatable. The food was cooked excellently. I will definitely be coming through again. I would like to see the band they have on Thursdays. The whole area is set up very nicely—clean and friendly—and you can’t beat the atmosphere. So, if you’re ever in the area, you must stop through.
Great food, great deck and patio. Great staff, expensive and very noisy in the inside dining room. I recommend the patio or a table in the bar area
We decided to finally try this restaurant since we live nearby and always see it when we’re driving by. We went on a Thursday afternoon, and it wasn’t too busy, which made for a really nice experience.

Char Blu Riverside is a charming restaurant that offers a diverse menu, excellent service, and a beautiful atmosphere. Located right on the river, it provides stunning lake views, especially on nice days when dining on the patio. Although the patio can be windy and chilly, inside the restaurant is nicely decorated, creating a friendly and inviting environment, albeit a bit darker than some might prefer.
The staff at Char Blu Riverside are attentive and helpful, with servers providing great recommendations and making guests feel welcomed. Service is consistently praised as one of the highlights of the experience. The menu features a variety of dishes, including appetizers like crab cakes, focaccia bread, sticky pork belly, and tuna tartare. The sticky pork belly and focaccia are especially well-liked, praised for their flavor and texture, while the tuna tartare received some criticism for being too salty.
Main courses are equally appealing, with options such as the Wagu Burger, salmon, and wood-fired prime steaks, including a 10oz prime filet served with potato Aligot. Family-friendly portions and flavorful dishes make for a satisfying meal. The short rib is another popular choice, though the accompanying rice with a tangy flavor may not suit everyone’s taste.
The restaurant also features a great wine and drink selection, enhancing the dining experience. Overall, Char Blu Riverside offers a memorable dining experience with beautiful views, delicious food, and attentive service. It’s a perfect spot for special occasions or casual outings, and many guests look forward to returning to try more dishes like the steak and pork chop.
