4 Charles Prime Rib New York Reviews from The Last Year
Amazing! I mean Ah May Zing! Staff were very personable and
Amazing! I mean Ah May Zing! Staff were very personable and provided great recommendations! We basically ordered everything! Bit pricey but worth it! Must go!
We decided to check for cancellations as we walked by and
We decided to check for cancellations as we walked by and were surprised to hear that a table is actually available until a certain time. 4 Charles Prime Rib is located in the basement - It's very small and cramped. The overall ambiance inside is dark and moody. My friends all got the 10 oz. wagyu burger topped with a farm egg. It came with quite the show where the server stabs the yolk and lets it drizzle on the patty. I didn't get a chance to try it but heard good things! As for me, I got the English cut which came with 3 thin sliced prime rib with au jus and creamy horseradish. To be honest, I'm not that impressed. The meat was bland in some parts and overly salty in some parts. I didn't think the au jus nor horseradish helped enhance flavors. Sides were just okay - Out of the elote corn, green beans, and truffle Mac and cheese, I liked the Mac and cheese best. It was cooked al dente and tasted truffly. It was cool to try 4 Charles Prime Rib but it was all hype for me.
My husband was really hoping to try 4 Charles Prime Rib
My husband was really hoping to try 4 Charles Prime Rib during our recent NYC visit. Before our trip, we both had attempted to grab reservations off and on for weeks but were unsuccessful. We decided to try doing a walk-in at brunch and were shocked that there was only 1 other party ahead of us when we arrived 15 mins before they opened. We were seated outside and got a great view of the neighborhood during our meal. If you aren't coming for the prime rib or other dinner specific items, I would suggest checking them out for brunch. They still serve their famous burger and many other delicious items on their brunch menu. We had pleasant interactions with all members of the staff at 4 Charles and our waiter gave great recommendations for other places we should check out on our trip. Truffle Mac and Cheese (9/10) The truffle flavor is not overwhelming and I liked the cheese combo they use for their recipe. Double Wagyu Burger (9/10) How many places can you go where someone puts on white gloves and cuts the burger for you? Beyond the presentation, the burger itself is really flavorful. Prime Rib French Dip (9/10) One of the best french dips I've had. I wished there was a tad bit more meat on it, but I was impressed by the meat quality. The sandwich could be shareable if you are ordering other apps/sides
Wow. This meal lived up to the hype. Not only were we
Wow. This meal lived up to the hype. Not only were we blown away by the burger, which is exactly what you'd expect from the fantastic reviews, but the prime rib French dip & sides surprisingly stole the show! The prime rib French dip is my top recommendation- the bread was perfectly crisped (but still soft on the inside) and didn't crumble when dipped & the meat was high quality. The truffle Mac and cheese was rich & was the truffle did not overwhelm the dish. The little gem salad was citrusy and herby- perfect at the beginning or in between dishes to break up the decadence. The steak was a 10/10, perfectly seared and cooked. Just excellent altogether. Dimly lit relaxed ambiance, with jazz music. Felt lush & elevated.
Nice small place, more hype than substance.
I would say that the food is good quality but for a price that should be great quality. If your into trendy then go otherwise there are better.
Good food, and even better theatrics.
Definitely felt like an old school gentleman's club. There was fantastic attention to detail in terms of service. The place is very small, cozy and gives prohibition era vibes. We got the burger, truffle mac and cheese, and the lemon meringue pie. Everything was excellent, including the strong martinis. The mac and cheese is underrated - cheesy but not too creamy and lightly toasted to perfection.
This review is for Tock takeout, but I ate the food within
This review is for Tock takeout, but I ate the food within 15 minutes of receiving it so I imagine it to be fairly representative of the restaurant experience. I got the King cut of prime rib and creamed spinach. The King cut was very large (advertised as 32 oz)...but it also had a substantial fat cap which was largely inedible. I've eaten a lot of prime rib, and I can say this one was decent but not standout. The jus also was nothing to write home about. The creamed spinach was interesting with the bleu cheese flavor, but a tad salty. Based on the prime rib alone, I think this place is overhyped. I may return to try their burger and french dip. The search continues for a truly excellent prime rib in NYC...
Well worth the hype! Undoubtedly the best steakhouse in all
Well worth the hype! Undoubtedly the best steakhouse in all of NYC! Very nice and intimate ambiance and perfect service! Make sure to order their legendary cheesburger with bacon & egg and the ribeye steak!
When I found this place on tik tok I told myself nothing
When I found this place on tik tok I told myself nothing was going to stop me from trying to get in. It's almost impossible to get in because they are always booked weeks out. I waited in line 45 min before they opened on a Tuesday (I was leaving to LA the next day) Luckily I got in and everything was 10/10 Best burger I've ever had in my 29 years The French dip was perfect and the Mac & cheese was also phenomenal.
I have heard many ravings about this place and how it is
I have heard many ravings about this place and how it is the hardest reservation to get. Can confirm reservation was extremely hard to get - but my friend had an idea to just walk in. They arrived 30 mins before opening on a Sunday morning and was able to get seating for 2 when they opened at 11 am. Highly recommend using this method if you aren't able to snag a reservation but you must come early because the seats fill up almost immediately. The place itself has both outdoors and indoor seating and we were lucky enough to get seating inside. It is pretty dim and definitely more on the smaller side - hence the hard to get reservations but the service here was amazing. Our waitress was so nice and friendly and super attentative as well. For food we decided to get: -Truffle Mac and Cheese: Highly recommend this, super creamy and yummy -Truffle Fries: Honestly not my favorite fries but still solid -Double Wagyu Cheeseburger with cheese: Honestly the burger was good but I really am not just a burger person and I really wish I got something else instead. -Bone in Rib Eye: My friend got this and I got to try a piece of their steak and honestly it was very good. Very tender and flavorful, not tough at all. It also came with a side of hasbrown and eggs for brunch. Definitely would recommend this dish -Sundae Royale: highly recommend this dish as well. It pretty much is a make your own sundae and it was the perfect end for the whole meal. Great brunch place - would highly recommend you checking it out if you are able to snag a reservation or coming early to try it out! Great food and amazing service!!
A speakeasy-style experience
4 Charles Prime Steakhouse in New York City is a must-visit spot, whether you're out with friends or on a special date. The moment you step inside, you're transported to a speakeasy-style setting, complete with dim lighting and a lively, cozy atmosphere. The service is attentive but relaxed, adding to the fun vibe. I ordered the American Cheeseburger, which came with a playful show by the waiter—definitely worth capturing on video. I recommend adding an egg and bacon for an even more indulgent experience. The desserts, particularly the Lemon Meringue Pie and Chocolate Cream Pie, are irresistible, even when you're feeling full. To ensure a table, make a reservation well in advance, as this spot is in high demand. The intimate basement dining room and top-notch service make it a unique find. The steak, particularly the Wagyu New York Strip, is phenomenal—perfectly cooked and melt-in-your-mouth tender. The classic cocktails are crafted with precision, adding to the overall charm. If you're in NYC and seeking a memorable dining experience, 4 Charles Prime should be at the top of your list. Tip: Getting reservations here is almost impossible so instead of giving up on our dreams, we wait in line 30 minutes BEFORE they open
Service and food were excellent. Just come hungry!
This is a very dark, intimate, cozy place. If you have reservations for a certain time, make sure you are there precisely at that time as there is no sitting area in the restaurant nor a bar. There are 9 tables that seat approximately 34 people which is probably why the reservations are so difficult. We had a soup to nuts dinner which took slightly more than 2 hours. Dress code is very relaxed, and we saw people with jeans and T shirts although a collared shirt would make a guy feel better. Service was terrific and friendly throughout the experience. We shared everything. The sizzling garlic shrimp appetizer was delicious, especially with the wonderful, toasted bread with which we dunked into that tasty garlic sauce. We also ordered the bacon which came as strips looking like sausage. Not bad but not nearly as good as that served at Lugers or Wolfgangs. One in our party was not a meat eater and ordered the King salmon, which she loved. We ordered 2 King cuts of the Prime rib for the remaining 3 of us. These were massive hunks of beef at least 2 inches thick and, thankfully, they were cut into chunks and left on the bone. They came with rock salt and horseradish cream. The meat was perfectly cooked and very tender, quite good, indeed. We had sides of corn (exceptional) mashed potatoes and fries, all good. We ate and ate and still took home a full dinner's worth of meat. We had a very good coffee and some desserts. Our Lemon Meringue pie was at least 12 inches high, and very good. We had a few drinks and a beer with dinner. The whole thing for 4 people, with 20% tip & tax was $371 per couple. We saw a few tables ordering the massive burger which the waiter cut into 4 pieces, 1 for each person. They then shared one steak and some sides among them. Probably something we might do as their burgers are famous.
The fries and burger were very salty, had a hard time
The fries and burger were very salty, had a hard time eating them- had high expectations of this one
Walked in at 4:55 and was rewarded with a table for 4 for 1
Walked in at 4:55 and was rewarded with a table for 4 for 1 for 60 minutes. I've had proper Prime Rib at similar restaurants with the closest peer probably being the Alinea Group's St. Clair Supper Club in Chicago. Simply, 4 Charles Prime Rib has captured the essence of beef in a way that no other restaurant in America has. As an added bonus, the atmosphere is an exciting tribute to mid 20th century dining. Classy service and classic accompaniments abound. I regard the $145 King's Cut and the $125 fatty tuna tartare appetizer as the best purchase I've ever made with a tax refund. Though I've queued up a bunch of creative names to attach to those who play the reservation game at 4 Charles just to not eat the prime rib, it's hard to imagine that one can go wrong with any order here.
One of the most famous NYC institutions, hardest rez's and
One of the most famous NYC institutions, hardest rez's and every food bloggers favorite NYC restaurant. I was originally going to give 4 Charles a 3 but I went a second time and have bumped it to a 4. What we tried- Shirley Temple: I am a sucker for a good Shirley temple and there's is amazing! They use dark Luxardo cherries and you can taste the difference. We didn't even end up getting cocktails bc this was amazing. Sizzling Shrimp Scampi: First time I got this it was way too salty but cooked nicely. The next time I went, my party really wanted to try it so we got it and it was better this time around! Loved soaking the garlicky bread in the scampi sauce. Good but I would probably skip if I go again. Little Gem Salad: I've surprisingly seen soo many reviews on this salad, and I was thinking how good can a simple little gem salad be?? I'll give it to them. It's good. Dressed nicely, crisp lettuce and I love that they serve it with a side of extra dressing. However for $26? Not worth it. We also did add the baked crab cake on top which was good but didn't blow my socks off. It was a nice fresh bite in between bites of the burger and other meat tho. Crispy Brick Chicken: Juicy. Love the jus. But thought this was average. Stick to red meat here. 10oz Double Wagyu Cheeseburger: What they're known for besides their prime rib! First time I got it, I thought meh. I did add egg and get bacon on the side. 2nd time I got it, we did just egg and it was amazing! Juicy, seasoned well. Great burger! Def get the egg but I felt the bacon took away from the wagyu patties. A must order bc duh but also bc it is delicious! Prime Rib French Dip: Good amount of food. Love the side of horseradish cream and jus to dip in. Again, my first time must've been a misfire bc the 2nd time was sooo much better! I like this over the burger personally but they're both decadent and oh so yummy. Creamed Spinach: Everyone at my table loved this. The blue cheese was little much for me but everyone else thought it was a subtle flavor. Truffle Mac & Cheese: Truffle and I have a love/hate relationship. It's been overdone so much that I just can't stand it sometimes. This Mac and cheese is THE BEST. So creamy and luxurious. The black truffle flavor is subtle so I keep going back for more. Must must order! Buttery Mashed Potatoes: Great garlicky flavor and I love that they use chicken jus for an extra oomph of flavor. I did think they could've made the consistency more smooth. This was good but not crazy good. Button Mushrooms: Looove the sherry cream sauce! Good onion flavor too from the caramelized and fried onions in this dish. A must order for me but my table thought it was ok. Golden Fries: Nicely cooked, salty (the way I like'm) and served with a side of ketchup and garlic aioli. Yum! Chocolate Cream Pie: My favorite dessert of theirs. Rich and creamy with that nostalgic Oreo crust. Not too sweet which is great! My first time, they also gave us a side of strawberry ice cream for free and the combo was giving chocolate covered strawberry. CHEF'S KISS!! Lemon Meringue Pie: Complimentary our second time visit. So sweet! I would've never ordered this on my own but it was better than I thought! Tart lemon curd, mile high torched meringue struck the right balance of sour and sweet. Both times, I was in their outdoor area. It's enclosed and was warm enough. They even had heating lamps. Furnished well that it didn't feel like we were outdoor. Mood lighting. Great for a date or for groups! Personally I think the menu is great for family style sharing. Service is top notch! Everyone is knowledgeable and go above and beyond for each customer. Really enjoyed them talking thru their faves and tips. They also do the burger show for each order. Love that! Everyone should go at least once. I hope to be back and try more of their menu!
Have been dining here since its opening.
Up until this evening, I was interested in future reservations and buyouts. After my experience this evening with what felt like a "downgraded experience" I'm no longer interested.
4 Charles is a spot that everyone in Manhattan that has any
4 Charles is a spot that everyone in Manhattan that has any idea of food is trying to get into. They're doing the right thing. It is certainly one of the best restaurants in NYC. I think one just needs to be a little careful with their ordering while at 4 Charles otherwise you might be having a heart bypass surgery with an empty wallet...but if you do that once a year, still worth it. I'll start with a controversial statement: the best dish is the little gem salad. It is not only one of the best salads I've had in any restaurant in NYC, but it provides much needed freshness to juxtaposition all the crazy heavy dishes that are coming, or are already out. Second controversial statement: the prime rib is the most underwhelming dish. It truly is. There is very little that is special about the prime rib, it's good, a standard for the 21st century in NYC, but it's not going to blow your socks off. Now the french dip and the burger, omg. They're both great, and really get it with the farm egg and bacon. That's the way to order this burger. The other thing you really want is crab cakes. I know weird to think a Prime Rib spot is the place for crab cakes, but it truly is. One of my favorite crab cakes period. The sides are great, the lamb chops even better, just keep ordering, you don't get to come here very often. I will continue to come to this small gem of a place with beautiful wood, and everything else you could ever want while you have great cocktails and eat the best burger in manhattan.
Getting into 4 Charles is a horrible process.
You have seconds to just grab whatever time slot comes up. We went on a Sunday for brunch. We sat outside but their outdoors is setup like a comfy living room. Started with an espresso martini. For some reason I don't think I had ever had one before (I've had plenty since!). We began our meal with the pastries and jam. Everything in the basket was good. Next were the oysters which were good but the cocktail sauce was lacking something. Next we had the prime rib French dip. This was the most disappointing dish of the meal. It was ok but not worth getting. Our last dish was surprisingly the burger. I know who would ever expect someone to get a burger at 4 Charles. I loved every aspect of this burger. The show the waiter does with the egg drip is fun. With bacon and egg this burger is basically $50 and it doesn't include fries. Can I justify the price. No. If you think of food and a meal as an experience then 100% go for it. If you judge things solely on dollar value than this isn't the place for you.
JUST AMAZING!!! Angie the host is great.
The service was OUTSTANDING. Food is the best I have ever had. The burger is the best I have ever had in my life and the steak sandwich was amazing! I could eat here every night! I definitely recommend this place.
The food is fantastic and staff very kind .
Hard to get into .I forin on standby had the 4 Charles prime cut green beans baked potato and chocolate cream pie
Overpriced & Overhyped
I ate here with a group of 4 people and we all agreed - not a 5 star experience. The food was good, but not quite great, and overpriced by a large margin for what is what (average price per plate = $40). I got the Truffle Omelet, which I think was the only vegetarian option on the menu, and it was good but it was a heavy, oily dish. The rest of the table got the burgers (verdict: overhyped and also heavy), the fries (pretty delicious), and the French Onion Sandwich (good). If the price was 2/3 of what it was, I might go back, but probably wouldn't go back.
Perfection
4 Charles Prime Rib is truly one of the absolute best restaurants in NYC and I see why. Every single dish was impeccable - I can’t wait to go back!
Ambience was excellent, server was arrogant.
We received an incorrect order. We ordered their specialty prime rib on the menu for $119 and received the Chicago cut for $99. The waiter tried to tell us repeatedly it was the same thing - only sliced differently - and he'd bring the other but made us feel quite bad stating there was nothing they could do with what was already served. He did bring us a version of what we'd "ordered" but we received a fat-filled portion not suitable for human consumption (I believe they decided to show us what happens if we point out the error), though I did take it home for the dog. It was clearly "getting us back" - how dare we bring up what was brought to us lowly customers. Had that not occurred, our evening would have been lovely. Everything else we ordered was excellent. A $500 evening for two, However, wasn't worth the bill for all of the fat from the prime rib that I brought home for my discerning Shih Tzu.
Best food and service in the city.
Lucky if you get a reservation here. Expensive spot but well worth it for a great meal. Small vibe with outdoor option 365 days.
Perfect always
Honestly there are places just as good for food but the service is the best you will ever have. Sundae is amazing as well
AT appointment wasn’t accepted
They are detecting it’s coming from Appointment trader and canceling them. I saw a couple in front of me that had the same issue. I luckily was able to discuss it with manager and rebook it to another time. But this was a table of 4 so was little embarrassing that we had leave and come back.
Lived up to the hype
Definitely get the burger and the sundae
DENIED. Do not book through AT
Denied at door. Do not use AT to book here, the restaurant is flagging traded reservations and will deny you at the door.
DENYED AT DOOR
The reservation was a fake email which in return got flagged and denied
Worth all the hype
I was so excited when I finally snagged a much-coveted res to St. Charles, and my expectations were exceeded! The ambience oozes charm and class - it’s hard to put into words how cozy and lovely it is in there. Our server Brandon was incredible - one of the best servers I’ve ever had. We got the burger, French dip, fries, creamed spinach, and truffle mac and cheese. My favorites were probably the burger and creamed spinach. Chocolate cream pie was also top notch. I was probably close to the fullest I’ve ever been after this meal, but it was worth all the calories and dent in my wallet.
Take Out
I don’t have the patience or real desire to snag a reservation here. Limited sitting and high demand makes it coveted as the shiny new object among the foodie elite. I had Chase reward miles that I cashed in here for a free takeout meal. Food was delicious. No complaints. Burger, French dip and chocolate cake. 4 Charles - To Go x 1 10oz Double Wagyu Cheeseburger $38.95 Add an Egg $3.95 Add Thick Cut Bacon $9.95 10oz Double Wagyu Cheeseburger $38.95 Add an Egg $3.95 Add Thick Cut Bacon $9.95 Prime Rib French Dip $49.95 Chocolate Cream Pie $19.50 Subtotal $175.15 Service Charge (18%) $31.53 Taxes (8.875%) $15.54 Order Fee $5.00 Total $227.22 Paid $26.78 Paid with Visa 11/1/23 $26.78 On your statement, this charge will appear as "Chase *Tock4 Charles" Paid with 20,044 points $200.44 Using points from Chase Ultimate Rewards
Great.
The restaurant was great. However, I booked for my boss and they did not accept the rsvp. Resy is dropping rsvps from here. They felt bad and still gave her a later table but it was humiliating for her and me.
