    Having had several meals here I just can't rate this any higher than a average. It is very expensive for an average steak. The sides are small. Service is good and the ambiance is nice.

    Every single bad review about this place is completely accurate. As someone who eats at a steakhouse weekly (see my other reviews for steakhouses) I wouldn’t even consider this a steakhouse. $300 for dinner with not one drink and a absolutely horrific meal should be a crime and this place should have a “closed” sign on it. The atmosphere is terrible. It feels like you are in a modern Chinese buffet and not a steakhouse. The waiter stand is right out in the open and they watch you eat the whole time. It doesn’t feel private or secluded at all. Our waiter was okay. Not very informative or helpful, very quiet and didn’t seem to care much. Now the food. We did not have one good thing. The oysters which they claim were Kumamoto’s were definitely not that. The lobster dumplings were completely tasteless. I feel bad the lobsters had to die for that. The tuna tartare tacos were also terrible. Tasted like there was too much cilantro in them? For dinner we had a ribeye, a filet mignon, the kung pao brussel sprouts, and the potato gratin. The ribeye had way too much seasoning. “High quality” “prime, dry aged” cowboy ribeye was the quality of a ShopRite steak ( I’ve had better at Applebees). Way too salty and whatever else the seasoning was way overpowered. It’s also small for a $70 steak compared to other steakhouses. The filet was also not great. I had a better steak from a breakfast restaurant as “steak and eggs”. I’m going to be honest, I would not feed the potato gratin to a feral cat. It was 110% frozen and reheated. It was horrible. Not even edible. It’s sad that the best thing I ate was the kung pao brussel sprouts and that is not saying much. The atmosphere is not good. The place feels dirty. It does not feel like a “high end” steakhouse they try to portray themselves to be. There is no luxurious or steakhouse feel to it. If they didn’t pay influencers to come give them rave reviews I’m sure they wouldn’t be in business as the restaurant was half empty on a Friday

    The staff was very pushy. Entirely too many menus and plates and glasses on the table. Ours was a small table for 2 and we had to place things on our lap. We were so close to the people around us we had to slide our table to get away from their chairs. For the cost it should be a more private and comfortable experience.

    My family dined at Char on Saturday night. We arrived at 5:50 for a 6:00 reservation. It was not busy at this time. The blond hostess, did not make eye contact, and did not speak. I walked up and gave my name, and she did not acknowledge me. She turned to the young lady that had just come back from seating someone else, spoke to her rudely, and after standing there for about two minutes, we were finally acknowledged by the young lady and she led us to our table. The bread server immediately came over and offered us bread. She came back a minute later and threw the butter on the table. At no time, did anyone welcome us, smile at us, say hello to us, or give us any impression that we were wanted in this restaurant. I even used the restroom, and while walking there I passed several staff members, smiled, said hello, and again, no response. We were a party of 5 adults, dressed appropriately, quiet, and polite. There was absolutely no reason why we should have been treated like this. Our server was friendly, professional, and did his job. The food runners and busers were also very polite. The food was excellent. After spending $600 dollars, plus a 20% tip, we walked past the hostess stand, said thank you and goodbye, and not one of the three people standing there acknowledged us. They saw us, because we grabbed some mints, and still nothing. Hostessing 101 - greet the customers, and thank them for coming.
