Great food! Everything came out right on time and tasted amazing !! Would definitely recommend

while I have no issue with the staff or food , I do have some concern over the condition of the American flag hanging over the entrance and driveway into the restaurant. The flag condition is torn and faded needs to be removed or replaced, it can be taken as a sign of disrespect, I don't believe it is bur it is neglect, as a Veteran please attend to this item, I cannot in good conscience enjoy myself with this negative display of our nations flag thank you a VETERAN read more

It was OK. I was expecting a wheel charcoal boiled steak running juicy. I ended up getting something a little dry.

Just had my son's 13th BDay celebratory dinner here & it was absolutely great. We had a party of 14, so it was a steep bill, but man was the food & service great. From the host, to the wait staff, to the ambiance, it was phenomenal all around. Though, like most high end steakhouses, it is quite pricey, but for a special occasion, it's perfection. read more

Our friends came to Char couple weeks ago and recommended it, so the fam decided to go on our 10th yr anniversary; every Wednesdays there's a special on prime ribs. 40-50 min drive to Char and it's worth it, great food and service. Parking is very limited , Parking on the grass is necessary, make reservations In advance, depending on the day , time & occasion , there could be a wait. The scenery is dark , low lighting in an oak wood coloration background. Mikey was our waiter with good hospitality . I had to order an item from each category ; since I live to eat . I'm a satisfied customer and will be back. The octopus & fried calamari were delicious, my very rare prime was juicy and soft, freshly smashed Potatoes and salad on the side , the creamy spinach goes well with the steak, to top the meal off is the lava cake & almond cake with the rich cream coffee. read more

The service was great our waitress Nikie was a outstanding. The rest of the staff was great as well. My only criticism was the tomahawk steak. Another reviewer said the steak came out like it was fried. Perhaps too long in the salamander. And the meat had a lot of fat. The rest of the meals were good. read more

We have been coming to Char's Steakhouse since May of 2013. We love the specials during the week! The food is always fresh and delicious. The service is warm and inviting. We highly recommend this restaurant and all the selections read more

HAVE to give this establishment a whopping 5 stars, which is a rare occurrence. From the second our party of six walked in to the finalization of six separate checks, there was nothing to comment negatively on. The waiter was very attentive visiting the table quite often including taking back an appetizer that my friend wanted to opt for something else! No lifting of an eyebrow or hesitations were made. I highly recommend the Prix Fix meal for $29.95 from app to dessert/coffee/tea. Can't go wrong! There were many choices of each category which to choose from! Something for everyone! Parking IS plentiful if you arrive on the early side before 5pm *** there's also a seasonal outdoor patio that many are excited to soon be using. Come check out what I'm raving about! ;) read more

10/10 steakhouse. Variety of choices, incredible food quality, wonderful service. Called my grandmother an animal because she went here and ordered her Filet Mignon well done. Like what kind of person even does that? I'd rather you call me some kind of slur than ever eat meat cooked well done in front of me again. It would be less offensive. But that's my fault for bringing an 81 year old to a nice steak house. Next time she does that she's going straight in a home. read more

The service and food have been good. My biggest complaint has been the extended amount of time that one has to wait to order and then to receive your food. Totally unacceptable and it's been that way for years. read more

Definitely the best steakhouse I've been to! I always have the best time when I go there. The food is delicious and the best of course the drinks never fail! Highly recommended! read more

Went with the family , been before always just ok. I asked for my steak to be medium but I'll be damed I swear it was so rare I seen it moving across the plate. Server had an attitude when I told him and just shrugged it off. Went to use the mens room smelt straight up like old dried up urine I threw up in the garage can. read more

Four of us had a great meal last night , our knowledgeable and super pleasant waitress name Nikki, answered all our questions and plus... Drinks were excellent. My compliments to the bartender. Bread and water was brought to our table promptly. Now for the meal. Started with, a yummy onion soup, a fresh salad and delicious Oyster Rockefeller share by two of us. Now for the piece of resistance! NY strip steak with Au poivre sauce; comes with 3 other choices of sauces, and two vegetables choice. It was cooked to perfection medium rare, on the rare side. The Veal chop special of the night, was pretty much devoured by two of my dinner companions. The Bone in Rib eye disapeared quite quickly too, I was told it was by far one of the best! Service is impeccable, the place is pretty, my only complaint " it's a bit noise" the acoustic could be better. But let's face it, we came to have a excellent meal and we did!! No room for dessert. read more

Blech! This used to be one of our favorite restaurants. Last time we went it wasn't good, hoping it was a one off. Went back tonight and it was worse! Food medicine, steak tasteless, creamed spinach liquidity and service slow and inattentive. It wasn't even crowded. We won't be bad read more

Average at best quality steak. No way it was Prime meat. Service was awful. Just awful. Had to ask for our waiter at least 3 times. Prices were way over the top. Particularly for Mahopac. I last went to this place about 15 years ago. Doubt I will go again in the next 15 years. read more

Ordered a tomahawk for 2 - what came to the table is another story. Was it deep fried? Why is the outside so crunchy? Why is the inside tuf as nails? Is it sweet or sour? Gave up! The absolute most disgusting steak ever. Staff very nice & ambiance is inviting. But what a total waste of my $$ for that unknown meat thing served to us. read more

Took my Girlfriend here for her birthday. Char Steakhouse did not disappoint! The filet mignon and ny strip were so delicious! She delighted in her watermelon martini! It had such a nice atmosphere and Michael our waiter was outstanding! We will be back for sure! read more

I'm not trying to brag or anything- but rather drive home the point that we had the tastiest and a most slamming dinner here after a gruesome, rainy Sunday night drive from Boston. Hubs was salivating for meat- so the thought of a sizzling steak was already in the works. Our last experience was partly dull in taste and quality about a year+ ago. But boy....I want to shed light on the matter and mention dinner this time, was outstanding because Steak is serious business here focusing on several cuts, the same way Seafood is. Hubs' NY Strip was cooked to Medium-rare temp this time as he requested it and my Saffron Scallops+Mashed+ Garlicky Spinach entree was cosmic. Low lighting and a cozy vibe is what you get plus service and friendliness, continues to thrive here. read more

We made a reservation on a Friday night, we were sat immediately, and the place was busy already. We got 3 different appetizers. The bacon strip was a bit too chewy for our liking, but calamari and the lamb pops were both so delicious. I ordered a chartini, which is a dirty martini with 5 bacon wrapped cheese stuffed olives. This alone felt like an appetizer- and worth it! We loved the atmosphere however it got pretty loud as the night went on. The steak wasn't bad, however the fries on the side weren't great- I would have replaced the side with the steak. I had the Ravioli special with Shrimp- it was a nice portion & filling. This was a nice restaurant to visit- dining experience & food was a great experience! read more

The good: big portions, no reservations needed even on a Friday night The bad: flavorless steak, slightly tough, flavorless sauce. But there wasn't much else here to eat so... read more

Once you get this far out of major metropolitan areas it's gonna be tough to find a decent steakhouse. Started off with not so pleasing appetizers: baked clams were dry and over cooked, grilled octopus was also dry and obviously over cooked. I think they boiled too long prior to grilling. Asian calamari with the wasabi sauce was good. Crabcakes with the spicy remoulade was decent Ribeye steak was mediocre- ordered it medium rare, and it came out more well done. Creamed, spinach was more cream than spinach. A mediocre dining experience - won't go out of my way to go back read more

This is the best Steakhouse!! I highly recommend!! There Happy Hour Menu is awesome. The staff is always friendly and helpful. We had the Tuna Scoops, Lollipop Lamb Chops and Chicken Dumplings and they were outstanding!! read more

My friend and I have decided to try new restaurants. And maybe you them. I'm not going all over West just a county. So I guess you wouldn't call us the Westchester babies. So we picked Char restaurant what a hidden gem We did a Tuesday night special.. Service West spectacular the dinner the appetizers. What unbelievable and to order extra with so reasonable? It was a great deal including dessert. My steak was delicious. The potatoes were fluffy. The vegetables was at its world. I had a wedge salad. Baked clams. Dumplings, a Boston steak, a great big potato and beautiful. Zucchini tapped off with a peach Melba and a cup of tea. I had Mikey the waiter and oh my God, he was so great. Friendly helpful answer to any questions and got every specifically quest on my food as I have a garlic allergy. Even the busses. Friendly. On the ball and great workers. Kudos to all Make sure to check out this hidden unknown Gem. I can't wait to go back for their beef. Stew and loin lamb chops is just so many choices. I can't wait to try and the chicken martini. See you soon, guys. It excelled in excellence in food service and prices. read more

We've been here a couple of times and have tried many sides and a few types of steak and they were all good. Most recently we had the Tomahawk for two which was cooked just the we asked and shared 4 sides. The lobster Mac and cheese and large chunks of lobster, and the bacon Brussels sprouts were very flavorful. We also ordered the oysters Rockefeller special for appetizer that were tasty. I just prefer more of a spinach cream topping over the melted cheese. Overall a decent steakhouse for the area. read more

The best part about this restaurant is the staff. The food is good but the staff is exceptional. Went there last night and Nikki was our server. I had a couple of minor issues and she went above and beyond the call of duty to fix the problem. Her smile never left her face and she made thing right. Incredible - Love Mike, Nikki and the rest of the staff. You all do Char proud. read more

Nice atmosphere and the server was excellent. We (3) ordered Caesar salad which was OK, beet salad which was better, Lobster bisque which was excellent, and a special of the night, a small tomahawk ribeye which we split which was nothing special. read more

Solid meal for restaurant week, I'd come back. The char-tini olives were amazing, though I somehow missed that it was a gin martini and not vodka so I ended up swapping drinks with my husband after we shared the bacon-wrapped, cheese-stuffed olives. We started out with the boom boom shrimp and asian calamari; the juxtaposition of the two dishes was kind of funny, there were only 3 little shrimp on my husbands plate vs my overflowing calamari plate. I had more than enough to share and both dishes were delicious. The calamari was perfectly crispy and the sweet asian sauce meshed well with the slightly spicy wasabi dipping sauce on the side. We both got NY strip steaks and ended up having leftovers. I asked for mine rare and it came out more medium rare but I can live with that. My husbands came out medium rare how he asked for it. The potatoes and veggies on the side hit the spot. We barely had room for dessert but I was able to polish off my tiramisu and my husband almost did the same with his cheesecake. Service was just right; not rushed but not straggling either. read more

Food was excellent and $$$. Service was good and appropriately attentive. Noise level in dining room on a Saturday night was very high, to the point where conversation was difficult, and we suspect why our otherwise-excellent server got a drink order incorrect (a margarita was ordered; a pina colada was delivered, but with a salt rim). read more

We were there a few weeks ago and we very disappointed with the food and especially the service. This restaurant is not what it used to be. We will not return. read more

So disappointed.The food was just not good.The potatoes tasted like the instant ones I used to make in college- and the spinach was bitter and tasted like the canned variety. My chicken dish was bland and soggy. The steak my husband ordered was fatty and just meh. Not worth the $$$ we spent.The dining room was too noisy to enjoy a conversation. Our server though was very cheerful and attentive. read more

The food, service and ambiance are always top notch he. We love everything here. Hubby and I were seated directly across from the fireplace. It was a cold night so they had the fire going. We loved being seated right in front because the fire kept us warm. Between the roaring fire and the musician playing the harp, the setting was rather was romantic which was nice because we were actually celebrating Valentine's Day (a week late.) Both of us shared a bottle of Rosemount Estate Shiraz and the Burrata appetizer. He ordered the Short Rib with Mashed Potatoes & Green Beans. I ordered the 7oz Filet Mignon (med-rare) with Gorgonzola Sauce, Shoe String Fries and Vegetable Medley. Everything was fantastic. The Filet Mignon melted in my mouth. For dessert we shared the Peach Melba which was delicious. We will definitely be back! read more

Food and services were excellent. However, my vodka and orange juice tasted funny. I believe they used can juice instead of fresh. I did not drink it. It was very crowded and noise level made it impossible for our small table of 4 to talk and very uncomfortable. read more

Celebrated my husband's birthday with dear friends and it was also our third or fourth time here....and every time everything is amazing! Their top notch service is always consistent and totally welcomed! We shared calamari, baked clams and stuffed figs as appetizers and everything was cooked perfectly and super delicious! For entrees the guys had tomahawk steaks and we had lobster and shrimp risotto...everything was amazingly delicious and cooked to perfection and so fresh and just overall amazing!!!!! Can't wait to be back!!! read more

Ate there twice. First time was OK. Same 4 went last Friday. My wife had Chicken Martini. Sauce was horrible. I split a Tomahawk steak for two with ny buddy. 80% fat. Waitress said "marblie" is normal. I cut the piece straight through and it was all fat. She disappeared. Owner handed us the check and smiled when he acknowledged we may be better with a leaner cut. No chef in a real steakhouse would ever serve that steak. The waitress and the owner shrugged it off. No business sense and definitely no class. read more

Went there for brunch and was told there was no brunch menu due to the chef not being there something like that so we had to order from the regular menu which wasn't bad but we booked this a week Before Because if the brunch menu the Waitress was super nice and knowledgeable Is a little pricey my food was a bit salty but either than that was good read more

This was the first time I have eaten here and it was fantastic. The ambiance is great for a steakhouse and the fireplace adds that special touch. My steak had a perfect char and the sauce was delicious. If you like twice baked potatoes this is up there with the best. Asparagus was cooked to perfection. My brother had the gorgonzola salad which was great. His black Angus beef stew was so tender and full of flavor. They were even real accommodating substituting the pasta for mashed potatoes. The Tiramisu and chocolate moose were above average. The one disappointment was the maple orange vodka cocktail,I couldn't taste any maple syrup, they were again extremely nice and accommodating and added more maple syrup, but even then it was mild. For a flavor listed in the name, I'd like it to be one of the main flavors I can taste. The staff is friendly, professional, courteous and easy going. The bathrooms are clean and updated. read more

Oh how I miss Char and cannot wait to return once more for the Asian calamari, the burrata, the oysters and overall just some qually pack time with the pals. They do have wonderful early evening specials that also run for early dinner hour on Sunday, as well as bar specials. It is def a bit pricey compared to most other local joints, but it is WELL worth it. The specials specifically include an app, wine or beer, entree and dessert for around $20 per person. You cannot beat that and the quality is 110% read more
