Our experience at The Eagle was great. The service was top notch and the food was outstanding, as usual. The staff that we interacted with were very helpful and polite. While the prices for the entrees are a little high (but what isn’t expensive these days) the food is worth the money spent. I recommend the Eagle if you are in the area of the Oxmoor Mall.

Charr'd really is a hidden gem. Any seasoned traveller knows most hotel eateries are overpriced and underperform when it comes to food and service. Not only is the hotel lovely and the bar area quite with lot's of comfortable seating and excellent drinks, the restaurant is cozy and the food is great and reasonably priced with a very creative menu. Service is always great. We eat there often both as a couple and with friends and always have an enjoyable time. I highly recommend Charr'd. Jim & Evelyn Brown
